design summit - cox automotive ipam implementation - jd calder and jason cornell
DESCRIPTION
IP address management (IPAM) is a means of planning, tracking, and managing the Internet Protocol address space used in a network. IPAM integrates DNS and DHCP so that each is aware of changes in the other (for instance DNS knowing of the IP address taken by a client via DHCP, and updating itself accordingly). This presentation is about how Cox Automotive implemented an IPAM system on top of ManageIQ. More more on ManageIQ, see http://manageiq.org/TRANSCRIPT
