Description
Do you have plans to deploy a massive enterprise network containing 1,000s or 10,000s of WAN routers. Do you need to do this quickly and without hassle. Watch our 1 hour 20 minute training course and use our proven source code (bash, python, expect) to make it happen.
Unfortunately the established "out of the box" automation options like "zero touch provisioning" techniques that some vendors offer, or new DevOps techniques like Ansible, Chef, Salt or Puppet may be fine in well documented and fully equipped Data Centres, but don’t work in reality on the massive scales that large geographically distributed businesses require. For Enterprise deployments what is required is scripting (highly customised software programs written in Bash Shell Script, Python and Expect), together with corresponding human processes that keep everything simple and possible on a massive scale, and can cope with the real world practical and logistical problems and challenges that occur when the goal is the deployment of 100s of sites per day. With our proven process, site deployments typically take 10 minutes per site with unlimited concurrency.
There are good approaches and bad approaches. Take a route that is proven to work, and that requires miniminal on-site skills during installation, and allows ultra-simple logisitics.
We provide line-by-line code and config walkthroughs so you will fully understand how the code works and what it is doing, such that you can either use it unchanged with confidence, or adapt it to your needs. Lectures 4 and 5 provide all the source code files and configuration files as downloadable resources on the Udemy course page.

Matthew Taylor CCIE #9125 (Routing and Switching) has over 30 years of experience in the deployment and hands-on implementation of massive Enterprise networks for some of the World's largest Financial, Retail and Utilities businesses. He has worked as an Engineer and Senior Manager for leading European and USA based Managed Service Providers and also worked within the in-house IT departments of Global Enterprises. He has seen what works in the real world.
He has personally written the code of software tools, and managed the successful operation of human processes, tailored to the unique demands of massive Enterprise network deployments. Most recently he lead a team that replaced Europe’s largest Financial sector network that contained over 10,000 individual sites in under 9 months. This was achieved smoothly not just because it was highly automated, but also because the human processes where simple and required minimal skills of on-site installation engineers, and could cope with common real-world problems often encountered during massive deployments such as poorly documented local infrastructure, poor mobile data network coverage and site access issues.
Now Matthew shares his expert knowledge, and provides working code and code walk-throughs with the World's networking engineers in his comprehensive and engaging courses. Because Matthew explains exactly what the code is doing and why, you can adapt it with confidence where necessary to your individual needs. He will consult to those who need additional support and guidance.
