You can’t manage everything by hand anymore: You need to automate relentlessly. YANG, along with the NETCONF, RESTCONF, or gRPC/gNMI protocols, is the most practical solution, but most implementers have had to learn by trial and error. Now, <strong><em>Network Programmability with YANG</em></strong> gives you complete and reliable guidance for unlocking the full power of network automation using model-driven APIs and protocols. <br> <br> Authored by three YANG pioneers, this plain-spoken book guides you through successfully applying software practices based on YANG data models. The authors focus on the network operations layer, emphasising model-driven APIs, and underlying transports. Whether you’re a network operator, DevOps engineer, software developer, orchestration engineer, NMS/OSS architect, service engineer, or manager, this guide can help you dramatically improve value, agility, and manageability throughout your network. <ul> <li>Discover the value of implementing YANG and Data Model-Driven Management in your network </li> <li>Explore the layers and components of a complete working solution </li> <li>Build a business case where value increases as your solution grows </li> <li>Drill down into transport protocols: NETCONF, RESTCONF, and gNMI/gRPC </li> <li>See how telemetry can establish a valuable automated response loop </li> <li>Find data models you can build on, and evaluate models with similar functionality </li> <li>Understand models, metadata, and tools from several viewpoints: architect, operator, module author, and application developer </li> <li>Walk through a complete automation journey: business case, service model, service implementation, device integration, and operation </li> <li>Leverage the authors’ experience to design successful YANG models and avoid pitfalls </li> </ul>
