Three years on air

Anton Karneliuk

Hello my friend,

Three years ago, on the 5th June 2016, we have posted the first article about Nokia SR OS/ Cisco IOS XR interop. We can dispute, if it was long ago or not, but what we can’t dispute the amount of information shared with you since that time on various network and automation topics!

Over these three years we have posted 75 (seventy five!) articles about the design, configuration and implementation of the multivendor networks with Nokia SR OS, Cisco IOS XR, Arista EOS and Cumulus Linux. Out of that 75, the 21 articles were written in this third year. Thanks to the blog activity we were awarded as the CiscoChampion 2019 as a top tech influencers worldwide.

Review of the first year articles

Review of the second year articles

New format

The last year was a kind of breakthrough, not only based on the topics we were covering, about which we’ll talk in a minute. We have started a new video blog format, which is running in parallel to the text blog. We aren’t replacing the text blog, we enhance it with a new stuff, which we believe, you will like. Here you can see the highlight:

GitHub page

Previously we shared the configuration files from certain network elements as a text files attached to the article. Now, as we are focusing on the two long-term projects, which are the Service Provider Fabric and the Data Centre Fabric, we have created the GitHub repositories for both, where you can find all the details including the description, configuration files, Ansible playbooks for automation and so on:

New topics

Looking on the topics covered last year, you might have seen the strong focus on the network automation and network management as a holistic distributed system, rather than a set of individual devices. We also started to introduce the micro services architecture to the network monitoring and management by building the management stack using Docker containers with the distinct functions in each containers.

Let’s take a closer look on the topics we have reviewed. The topics are grouped in somehow logical categorues.

The model-driven configuration (YANG, OpenConfig, etc):

The model-driven telemetry (YANG):

The Service Provider Fabric project:

The Data Centre Fabric project:

Miscellaneous topics not directly related to the categories above:

Thank you very much for your attention, support and feedbacks!

Stay networked! Stay tuned! We are going further!

Take care and Best Regards,

Anton Karneliuk
