Hi, over the next week my company (or my boss to be more exact) is wanting the 2 main senior engineers to come up with ideas for automation. At the moment I'm struggling to find ideas on where and what can be automated given the technologies that we use. We are a large company in the UK and our estate is Meraki AP's and access/L3 switches across all our spoke sites (yes, I hate the L3 switches,hopefully they're going for Cat9k series soon, they're awful, that's another story though), Viptela SD-WAN across our whole estate and data centre, ACI on Nexus in our data centre and ASA's as firewalls at our data centre. We use Kibana for SYSLOG and ISE for authentication and authorisation across our whole infrastructure to.
As far as automation goes, I'm struggling to come up with ideas of where it can be used, as the only tasks I find myself doing that are repeatable these days are firewall rules. The SD-WAN infrastructure is all centrally managed via vManage as well as our meraki infrastructure via its own dashboard to. ACI is ACI and is controlled via its own to.
Anyone any advice or areas of where I could start to look at given our estate?
Thanks guys
