Open Networking Summit North America 2018

Enterprises have had a tough time automating networking. There's risk in meddling with things that are working and the perils of existing operations haven't seemed that bad. But the situation is changing rapidly and organizations that don't move forward face being crushed by a collision of forces. This session will cover five critical networking tasks that need to be automated and techniques and tools to get it done. Security threats are advancing, workloads are scattering to new clouds, and containers are taxing resources. But even with all of these pressures, it can be difficult to decide where to start. We'll sort out a way to triage the work needed and looking what key projects can and can't do for you.
