YANQ: Yet Another NetOps Quickstart

on YouTube ↗01h 02m

" summary

Describes a NetOps quickstart that uses NetBox as the single source of truth, Ansible playbooks for configuration, and Batfish for pre-deploy validation. Shows deploying configs to a three-node spine/leaf emulated topology, plus Prometheus/Grafana monitoring and log collection, with backup/rollback workflows; claims automation cuts time to production by about 50% and that preflight validation plus CI-style pipelines reduce risky human errors.
