11-13, 11:00–15:00 (Europe/Berlin), Workshop 4
Language: English
Every book about network automation I looked at had one
or more chapters introducing the reader to Linux in one
form or the other.
In this workshop we'll see how to move forward from there,
the focus will be on setting up your work environment,
some automation and (network) troubleshooting tools. Most
of these tools should also work on macOS or the Windows
Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Even if you don't use a particular
tool ($EDITOR comes to mind), I'll try to give you some ideas
how to make your life easier. And I'm happy to learn about more
tools and tricks from the audience.
The first part will be about setting up your work environment,
including shell, editor, ssh and git. This part will also cover
some very basic shell scripting and show how to access APIs from
the command line.
The second part will be about troubleshooting and cover some tools
for TLS, DNS and network testing.
The audience is invited to try some tools discussed so
bring you own Linux (or Mac or Windows with WSL). Note
that not all tools may be available for your system, and
you may need admin privileges to execute some of them.
A Linux system (or access to one) with root privileges and full internet access. For most parts macOS and even Windows with WSL will work. Note that not all tools discussed may be available or work
on all platforms.
