The Rise of NetDevOps & The Shift Left for Networking
The Rise of NetDevOps & The Shift Left for Networking
14 PagesThis white paper explores the shift left approach for networking and the growing adoption of NetDevOps practices. It explains how concepts from DevOps are being applied to networking to promote earlier testing, automation, and validation in the network lifecycle. By unifying DevOps and NetOps, organizations can manage networks more dynamically using CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and a mix of developer-centric and low-code tools. The paper highlights the benefits of treating network infrastructure as code, including improved consistency, speed, and reliability, and outlines key success factors for adopting shift left networking at scale.
