Day One: Junos PyEZ Cookbook

Day One: Junos PyEZ Cookbook is a complete network automation cookbook with a set-up guide, a start-up sandbox, and a complete showcase of automation scripts that are readily available on GitHub. The cookbook is a joint effort by Juniper’s engineers and all the many Junos users and customers who want to show you how ‘EZ’ network automation can be. You don’t have to be a coder when you can leverage Junos as your network OS. 


“The decision to read a technical book involves a cost-benefit analysis. ‘Is the information I’m going to learn worth my time and energy?’ If you’re currently operating a network of Juniper devices using the Junos OS command line interface, then the unequivocal answer is ‘Yes!’ Written by an experienced team of Juniper’s customers, ambassadors, partners, and employees, Day One: Junos PyEZ Cookbook demonstrates its authors’ real-world experience in operating and automating networks. More importantly, the book breaks what could be daunting tasks into small and relevant recipes. You will be creating useful network automation tools with the Junos PyEZ library on day one. Happy Automating!”
