From Chaos to Source of Truth
Part 1
Where to Start? You have been tasked with implementing a new network automation solution. You open the documentation: a wiki page that is outdated, and you see a lot of Excel sheets with different versions of the same information. And team members are telling you to just log into the devices to get the information you need.
The network has been built over the years with different architects, engineers, and administrators, each with their own approach to documentation and configuration management. As a result, the network is in a state of chaos, with inconsistent or outdated documentation, configuration drift, and misconfigurations.
