Networking. Matt Oswalt has a great post on the need for networking professionals to learn basic scripting skills—something he (rightfully) distinguishes from programming as a full-time occupation. Further, he follows that up with a post on how automation is more than just configuration management ; it’s about network services.

Clearly there are some real benefits to using OpenFlow in certain use cases (here’s one example ), but that doesn’t mean OpenFlow—especially hop-by-hop OpenFlow, where OpenFlow is involved at every “hop” of the packet forwarding process throughout the network—is the right solution for all environments.
