Understanding CI/CD in Networking Context
summary
Explains how to add CI/CD to network automation by showing runnable examples: linting with pylint, bandit, black, ansible-lint, unit and functional testing with pytest and JSON Schema, and running everything in Docker so local and CI environments match. Demonstrates config‑generation tests that assert rendered text, uses exit codes to fail CI, shows a Jenkins run that gives feedback in about one minute, and configures Makefiles and linters to enforce style and security.
