Building Network Reachability Checks With Path Traversal

At Network Automation Forum’s AutoCon 5, we did a soft preview of path traversal, and boy did we get a huge response.

Can this be used for impact assessment?
Firewall compliance?
Drain scenarios?
Physical and logical topology evaluation?

The answer is yes, yes, yes, and yes.

In this demo, Iddo Cohen (one of our Solution Architects at OpsMill) walks you through what path traversal is and how to use it for one of many use cases: a check for any network change.

He covers:

- What InfraHub is and where it fits in your automation stack
- What path traversal looks like in practice
- How RBAC keeps roles clean (operators set the rules, engineers just make changes)
- How to wire it all together into reachability checks that run automatically
