mskhan Ioannis Theodoridis Validate operational state vs intent, etc. For those overwhelmed by the task, the network operational state & validation tooling has come a long way in the past few years. SuzieQ Project can be a good opensource option with multivendor, a ui, & an API

Dinesh Dutt netboxcloud SuzieQ Project Love SuzieQ Project Dinesh & excited to work more together in the future!

SuzieQ 0.20.0 is now out. Such as great tool. Highly recommend checking it out. Dinesh Dutt SuzieQ Project #networkautomation github.com/netenglabs/suz…

Todays been an exploring SuzieQ Project kind of day. What an amazing tool with so many use cases! As usual Packet Coders course on the subject was excellent!

I was pleased to see the latest SuzieQ Enterprise Edition prod deployment pulling data from over 1500 sites across the globe. It's being used in a Fortune 100 company for helping automate network refresh & security tasks. SuzieQ Project

1/7 Here are 5 observations I wanted to share about the recent successful deployment of SuzieQ Enterprise. Some of them maybe obvious, but given what I've seen discussed and debated, I think they bear repeating.

2/7 Its incredibly hard for network engineers, even if good programmers, to try and automate many but the most simple tasks, in the context of larger objectives such as network refreshes

3/7 Old devices have a long tail life. So, to be useful, tools must work with the least common denominator for extracting maximum information from devices, address the most networks. And that remains ssh.

Python, especially with asyncio, is fast enough. Embrace asyncio network engineers. A common comment I hear is '****, SuzieQ is fast'. SuzieQ often had to slow down to avoid overrunning TACACS servers. To those thinking should we Go, I say, if you must, go Rust 😉

5/7 Networks change. Because maintaining up-to-date accurate information is so hard, network engineers often make do with stale out-of-date information, The customer told me, 'We've stopped asking the hard questions because we rarely get good answers."

6/7 SuzieQ is ready for the campus 😀 (it has been for some time)

7/7 The main point underlying across all these is that network engineers need easily consumable network state, and doing that is hard across vendors, versions and time.

Just finished recording an incredible Tech Showcase on SuzieQ Enterprise. I thought the community version was good, but oh boy, this is a game-changer! Stay tuned for the recording! #networkautomation SuzieQ Project Dinesh Dutt

The Brothers WISP SuzieQ Project SuzieQ Project offers an observability platform for all devices, including those without telemetry or API. Despite using telemetry, you cannot currently track all events/state updates easily or at all.

The Brothers WISP SuzieQ Project In comparison to NetBox, which tracks network intent, SuzieQ excels in monitoring the actual network state. Tools like NetBox actually pair quite well with NetBox so you can compare intent vs state. It also eliminates the need to jump around devices for troubleshooting.

SuzieQ is all about network observability, and provides an amazing CLI tool for quickly getting info about your network. Heres an example: 👇 #networkautomation SuzieQ Project

Denis Mulyalin Thanks Denis Mulyalin! Yes, familiar with nornir’s way of doing this, and as you point out, other tools. You could add SuzieQ Project in there and some commercial solutions. You’ve given me an idea to write a blog post around this topic!

Pete Crocker SuzieQ Project Nice, looking forward to read it.

A great tool for network observability is SuzieQ. Some of SuzieQ's key features include: - Multi-vendor support - Time-based analysis (what did the network look like 1 hr ago) - CLI (great for network-op teams) Here is an overview of the main components within #SuzieQ ... 👇
