NAPALM (Network Automation and Programmability Layer with Multivendor support) looks like a really cool tool. This is a good introductory post, and one that I plan to leverage as I dive deeper into these tools. Operating Systems/Applications. Here’s an article on an effort to add Cisco IOS support to NAPALM.

Michael Kashin has a handy little tool that functions like ssh-copy-id on servers, but for network devices (leveraging Netmiko). Anthony Shaw has a good comparison of Ansible, StackStorm, and Salt (with a particular view at applicability in a networking context). Operating Systems/Applications. Virtualization.

If you’re looking for more examples of how to incorporate these sorts of tools into your own network automation workflow, I’d recommend having a look at this article. Kevin Houston’s March 2015 blade server comparisons might be a useful place to start. Operating Systems/Applications. Servers/Hardware.

Here’s a handy CLI tool for working with AWS IAM configurations. It stands for Yet Another Kubernetes Deployer, and I thought this up after finding this article on kube-spawn , a tool for starting up a local multi-node Kubernetes cluster (primarily for testing and development). Operating Systems/Applications.
