Network Automation

Network automation is the process of using software, scripts, and tools to automatically configure, manage, monitor, and operate network devices and infrastructure instead of performing these tasks manually. Traditionally, network engineers would log into each device individually and type commands one at a time — a process that is slow, error-prone, and impossible to scale across hundreds or thousands of devices. Automation replaces repetitive manual work with code that can apply consistent configurations across the entire network in seconds, respond to events without human intervention, and make infrastructure changes as reliable and repeatable as software deployments.
