## Abstract
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the operations world, there's a disconnect between the system administrators and the network administrators. The sys-admins have automation tools that don't integrate with the NFV/SDN standards used by "pure" network operations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In RFC 3535, the Internet Architecture Board stated that network equipment should provide defined models and a unified configuration API. This resulted in the standardization of YANG (a data modeling language) and NETCONF (an RPC protocol for configuration that carries instantiated YANG data).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In this talk, I'll be discussing the configuration management landscape (from a system administrator perspective), explain a bit about YANG and NETCONF and how these two technologies can be used to automate network functions that are running on Linux instead of dedicated network equipment.
