SwiNOG#40 | Building Trustworthy Network Automation, From Principles to Practice | Damien Garros | OpsMill

Abstract: Trust is the key to successful network automation. When a platform behaves predictably and its workings are transparent, teams can safely hand over critical network tasks. Such reliability doesn’t appear by chance; it must be built into every workflow through safe-to-repeat actions (idempotency), declarative intent, and strict version control. This session views automation from both sides. Builders will see practical patterns they can drop straight into their code, while users will gain a clear checklist of what to expect and what to ask. The shared outcome is a playbook that lets both groups collaborate smoothly, deliver better tools, and keep networks running safely and faster.
