Become well-versed with network programmability by solving the most commonly encountered problems using Python 3 and open-source packages

Key Features

Explore different Python packages to automate your infrastructure
Leverage AWS APIs and the Python library Boto3 to administer your public cloud network efficiently
Get started with infrastructure automation by enhancing your network programming knowledge

Book Description

Network automation offers a powerful new way of changing your infrastructure network. Gone are the days of manually logging on to different devices to type the same configuration commands over and over again. With this book, youll find out how you can automate your network infrastructure using Python.

Youll get started on your network automation journey with a hands-on introduction to the network programming basics to complement your infrastructure knowledge. Youll learn how to tackle different aspects of network automation using Python programming and a variety of open source libraries. In the book, youll learn everything from templating, testing, and deploying your configuration on a device-by-device basis to using high-level REST APIs to manage your cloud-based infrastructure. Finally, youll see how to automate network security with Ciscos Firepower APIs.

By the end of this Python network programming book, youll have not only gained a holistic overview of the different methods to automate the configuration and maintenance of network devices, but also learned how to automate simple to complex networking tasks and overcome common network programming challenges.

What you will learn

Programmatically connect to network devices using SSH (secure shell) to execute commands
Create complex configuration templates using Python
Manage multi-vendor or multi-device environments using network controller APIs or unified interfaces
Use model-driven programmability to retrieve and change device configurations
Discover how to automate post modification network infrastructure tests
Automate your network security using Python and Firepower APIs

Who this book is for

This book is for network engineers who want to make the most of Python to automate their infrastructure. A basic understanding of Python programming and common networking principles is necessary.
