how torero solves the challenge of operationalizing network automation
autocon 1: team dev >_ local dev for network automation
At AutoCon 1, VP of Product Management Peter Sprygada introduced torero, a free community-based tool to standardize and streamline network automation. In his presentation, you’ll learn how torero works — and more importantly, you’ll learn why we built it, what problems it solves, and how it helps operationalize network automation while ensuring network engineers don’t accidentally turn into system admins.
