However, network automation not a new idea or technology. It’s becoming more prevalent in our networks through vendors (finally) adding more API support, but also products such as Cisco DNA Center, various SD-WAN products and so on; Networks with controllers that provide a programmatic interface. In the age of DevOps, everything needs an API and networking vendors are finally coming around to supporting it.
