NANOG Meeting Presentation Abstract

Experiences with network automation at Dyn
Meeting:	NANOG67
Date / Time:	2016-06-15 4:30pm - 5:00pm
Room:	Imperial Ballroom (B2 Level)
Presenters:	Speakers: Carlos Vicente, Dyn Inc. Carlos Vicente is a Principal Network Engineer at Dyn, where he contributes to Dyn's next-generation infrastructure. His interests include network design, automation and management. Prior to Dyn, he worked for ISC where he helped maintain and grow the worldwide DNS F-Root network. He also worked with the University of Oregon and the Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC) building networks and training engineers in emerging regions. Carlos is the author of the open source Network Documentation Tool (Netdot). He is originally from the Dominican Republic and has an M.S. degree in Telematics from the Politechnic University of Catalonia (Spain).
Abstract:	At NANOG 63 I talked about Kipper, our network automation project at Dyn, and how it aims to align our network configuration lifecycle with the existing continuous integration model used for servers. Since then we have significantly expanded its coverage, added new features and incorporated other teams in our workflow. In this presentation I will describe the current setup and then talk about our challenges, successes and some of the lessons we have learned along the way.
