Overview of this book

Python is a multipurpose language that can be used for multiple use cases. Python for Geeks will teach you how to advance in your career with the help of expert tips and tricks. You'll start by exploring the different ways of using Python optimally, both from the design and implementation point of view. Next, you'll understand the life cycle of a large-scale Python project. As you advance, you'll focus on different ways of creating an elegant design by modularizing a Python project and learn best practices and design patterns for using Python. You'll also discover how to scale out Python beyond a single thread and how to implement multiprocessing and multithreading in Python. In addition to this, you'll understand how you can not only use Python to deploy on a single machine but also use clusters in private as well as in public cloud computing environments. You'll then explore data processing techniques, focus on reusable, scalable data pipelines, and learn how to use these advanced techniques for network automation, serverless functions, and machine learning. Finally, you'll focus on strategizing web development design using the techniques and best practices covered in the book. By the end of this Python book, you'll be able to do some serious Python programming for large-scale complex projects.

Chapter 14: Using Python for Network Automation

Traditionally, networks are built and operated by network experts, and this is still a trend in the telecom industry. However, this manual approach of managing and operating a network is slow and sometimes results in costly network outages due to human mistakes. Additionally, to obtain a new service (such as an internet service), customers have to wait for days after placing a request for a new service before it's ready. Based on the experience of smartphones and mobile applications, where you can enable new services and applications with a click of a button, customers expect network service readiness in minutes, if not seconds. This is not possible with the current approach to network management. The traditional approaches are also sometimes a roadblock in introducing new products and services by the telecom service providers.

Network automation can improve these situations by offering software for automating the management...
