As a long term network engineer, I want to push into new areas for development. Cloud will prob be one but I am considering network automation also.
The problem I have with net automation is, where do I start and what am I really aiming to be? We use Ansible at my job but the take up from engineers is still limited. I feel the effort to get a script working is still too much compared to configuring it manually.
Anyhow, I guess my question is someone like a DevNet expert, what role do they do? Write automation scripts all day???
are they really in high demand in organisations?
