Network Automation and Programming Essentials
About the Bundle
Harnessing Rust and Python for Network Efficiency
This bundle combines "Rust for Network Programming and Automation" and "Mastering Python Network Automation" to provide a comprehensive insight into network programming and automation.
The first book delves into using Rust for designing scalable and efficient network applications, covering topics like network protocols and packet analysis. The second book complements this by focusing on Python for automating container orchestration and configuration management. Readers will gain practical skills in both languages, understanding how to leverage their strengths for network efficiency and automation.
This bundle is perfect for network engineers and administrators aspiring to elevate their programming and automation capabilities.
About the Books
Rust for Network Programming and Automation
Learn to Design and Automate Networks, Performance Optimization, and Packet Analysis with low-level Rust
Rust for Network Programming and Automation is a pragmatic guide that trains you through the Rust to design networks and begin with automating network administration. The book introduces you to the powerful libraries and commands of Rust that are essential for designing, administering and automating networks. You will learn how to use Rust's networking libraries like tokio, mio and rust-async to create scalable and efficient network applications.
The book provides a wide range of practical examples and use-cases, which help to simplify complex coding concepts and ensure that you understand the netwprk programming in-depth. You will discover how to establish network protocols like TCP and IP networks, run packet and network analysis, measure performance indicators and set up monitoring alerts and notifications. The book is an excellent resource for network engineers and administrators who want to gain a deep understanding of Rust programming for networking.
The author of "Rust for Network Programming and Automation" has a wealth of experience in network programming and automation with practical insights.

Mastering Python Network Automation
Automating Container Orchestration, Configuration, and Networking with Terraform, Calico, HAProxy, and Istio
With "Mastering Python Network Automation," you can streamline container orchestration, configuration management, and resilient networking with Python and its libraries, allowing you to emerge as a skilled network engineer or a strong DevOps professional.
From the ground up, this guide walks readers through setting up a network automation lab using the NS3 network simulator and Python programming. This includes the installation of NS3, as well as python libraries like nornir, paramiko, netmiko, and PyEZ, as well as the configuration of ports, hosts, and servers. This book will teach you the skills to become a proficient automation developer who can test and fix any bugs in automation scripts. This book examines the emergence of the service mesh as a solution to the problems associated with service-to-service communication over time.
This book walks you through automating various container-related tasks in Python and its libraries, including container orchestration, service discovery, load balancing, container storage management, container performance monitoring, and rolling updates. Calico and Istio are two well-known service mesh tools, and you'll find out how to set them up and configure them to manage traffic routing, security, and monitoring. Additional topics covered in this book include the automation of network policies, the routing of workloads, and the collection and tracking of metrics, logs, and traces. You'll also pick up some tips and tricks for collecting and visualizing Istio metrics with the help of tools like Grafana.
Key Learnings
- Use of Istio for cluster traffic management, traffic routing, and service mesh
- implementation.
- Utilizing Cilium and Calico to solve pod networking and automate network policy
- and workload routing.
- Monitoring and managing Kubernetes clusters with etcd and HAProxy load
- balancers and container storage.
- Establishing network automation lab with tools like NS3 emulator, Python, Virtual
- Environment, and VS Code.
- Establishing connectivity between hosts, port connectivity, SSH connectivity,
- python libraries, NS3, and network encryption.
