Kevin Corbin talks about how Network Engineering is changing from an art of “figuring out what command to run on which device and when” to a structured process using Consistent Version Controlled Infrastructure deployed with Parallel & Automated Provisioning. He provides examples of what NSO means for the networking guy and the big savings that can be made in the day-to-day work by using a single favorite CLI to all network devices, in contrast to learning many CLIs. The NSO CLI is, in fact, an API, just like NETCONF!
