So friends, here is the validation challenge. We have a scenario. You work as a

2
00:05.200 --> 00:06.320
network engineer

3
00:06.320 --> 00:11.400
at the medium size company. Now the company has a large budget and recently

4
00:11.400 --> 00:11.920
invested

5
00:11.920 --> 00:17.320
in a lot of new equipment from two different vendors, Cisco and Juniper. Your

6
00:17.320 --> 00:17.840
team leader

7
00:17.840 --> 00:21.990
is dissatisfied with the current practices of manual configuration and

8
00:21.990 --> 00:23.920
validation. Now despite

9
00:23.920 --> 00:28.260
having a number of junior engineers on the team, the team leader wishes to

10
00:28.260 --> 00:29.440
introduce automated

11
00:29.440 --> 00:34.270
processes to help improve consistency and stability. Now during a discussion

11
00:29.440 --> 00:34.270
processes to help improve consistency and stability. Now during a discussion

12
00:34.270 --> 00:35.600
between team members,

13
00:35.600 --> 00:39.540
the team leader turns to you and asks for your opinion. So the first thing they

14
00:39.540 --> 00:40.800
ask is how can

15
00:40.800 --> 00:45.630
we best implement automation in a multi-venser environment? You know given the

16
00:45.630 --> 00:46.160
fact that we've

17
00:46.160 --> 00:50.240
now got these new modern Cisco and Juniper devices, we want to make sure we're

18
00:50.240 --> 00:50.640
getting the

19
00:50.640 --> 00:54.720
best bang for our buck. Now the second thing the team leader issue is how would

20
00:54.720 --> 00:55.360
this solution

21
00:55.360 --> 00:59.530
that you're proposing improve our processes? What advantages are we getting

22
00:59.530 --> 01:00.880
here specifically?

22
00:59.530 --> 01:00.880
here specifically?

23
01:00.880 --> 01:05.920
And then lastly, the team leader is aware that we have junior engineers on the

24
01:05.920 --> 01:06.880
team and therefore

25
01:06.880 --> 01:11.050
ask are there any considerations we could introduce to help the junior

26
01:11.050 --> 01:12.160
engineers and their

27
01:12.160 --> 01:16.400
deligities? So friends, go grab a pen and paper, give it a think and I will see

28
01:16.400 --> 01:17.040
you in the very

29
01:17.040 --> 01:20.720
next video where I discuss my solution to these particular problems.
