Session Objective:Abstract
As IT organizations adopt the cloud strategy to build agile data centers, they realize the need to move fast and drive higher levels of innovation.
One of the key components is automation for reliable provisioning and management of the datacenter network.
Join us as we discuss how Ansible can be leveraged to manage your Cisco network.

Why?“I can spin up servers in minutes with my Ansible
Playbooks, why does it take orders of magnitude more to spin up and affect change on my Network Elements?”
“IT Organizations using configuration management tools deploy 30x more frequently with 200x shorter lead times; they have 60x fewer failures and recover
168x faster”
