Introduction
簡介
Imagine you are working in network operations for a multinational company with offices worldwide. The networking infrastructure varies across locations, consisting of hundreds of components, from physical devices to virtualized resources in a hybrid-cloud setting. You are tasked with deploying a new service across multiple locations.
想像您在一家跨國公司的網路維運部門工作，該公司在全球各地都有辦公室。各地點的網路基礎設施各不相同，由數百個元件組成，從實體裝置到混合雲環境中的虛擬化資源都有。您被指派要在多個地點部署一項新服務。
Initially, you plan to manually configure each device, but you soon realize that:
一開始，您打算手動設定每台裝置，但很快就發現：
- Numerous devices need to be configured.需要設定的裝置數量眾多。
- Some devices are physical and on premises, while others are remote or deployed as virtual resources across multiple public cloud providers.有些裝置是實體且位於地端，有些則是遠端裝置，或部署於多個公有雲供應商上的虛擬資源。
- You must carefully plan the changes for each device to ensure smooth network operations during and after the configuration.您必須仔細規劃每台裝置的變更，以確保設定期間及設定後網路運作順暢。
- Compliance with company policies and security requirements is essential.遵循公司政策與安全性要求是不可或缺的。
Feeling overwhelmed, you wonder if there is an easier, more efficient, and less error-prone way to configure and manage such IT ecosystems. As a network engineer, understanding various network automation principles and using appropriate software tools are crucial for addressing the challenges of an evolving and dynamic network infrastructure.
感到不知所措之下，您不禁思考是否有更簡單、更有效率、更不容易出錯的方式，來設定與管理這樣的 IT 生態系統。身為網路工程師，了解各種網路自動化原則並使用適當的軟體工具，對於因應不斷演變且動態的網路基礎設施所帶來的挑戰至關重要。
