Networking. I mean, if they aren’t willing to embrace the abstraction and automation that a cloud management platform brings, will abstraction and automation at the networking layer provide any significant benefit? Don’t think this “software-defined networking” thing is going to take off? x86 marches on!

Further, he follows that up with a post on how automation is more than just configuration management ; it’s about network services.

A red team would be the enemy and they’d study your network and try to exploit any weaknesses.
