This week we’re using torero 🐂 to execute Automation playbooks; learning NetBox for free 🆓 with the netboxlabs free Cloud Plan; understanding Azure vWAN 🌐 by example; cleaning our Inbox down 📉 to ten rather than zero; spinning the Chaos Wheel 🛞 of Misfortune to test our DR; fearing for the Self-Driving IDE 🦾 and getting swamped in a rising tide of Network Automation jobs. Let’s dive in; ⬇️
