Automatización de redes: automatización de redes.

Abstract

In this present Curricular Integration Work, a study is carried out on the basic fundamentals of Network Automation and DevOps. The first chapter describes the theoretical bases of Network Automation, the benefits of migrating to an automated network, the way these networks interact with network devices through APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), and the automation software that They are used for communication with APIs such as XML (Extensible Markup Language) and JASON (JavaScript Object Notation). At the same time, the theoretical foundations of DevOps and the three ways that are used to implement it in Network Automation are described. In the second chapter, the basic concepts for the different types of Network Automation are studied, such as script-based networks and software-based networks. In script-based networks, the most widely used programming language such as Python is described, as well as the free software platform to manage networks such as Ansible. In Software-based networks, NetBrain is described by the Cisco ACI (Application Centered Infrastructure) solution, this being the most complete solution in the industry to automate networks. For the optimization of the processes involved in automated networks, the most important DevOps tools used by business networks are described. The third chapter shows comparisons between the most important tools used in Network Automation and also between the most used tools in DevOps.
