Itential continues to be the only automation platform that can manage configuration and compliance for both CLI physical devices and API-based cloud and virtual services.
With our latest release, IAP 23.1, we have built upon our already robust API compliance capabilities within Configuration Manager and have greatly simplified the process of enforcing compliance rules by providing powerful features that allow you to deal with deeply embedded JSON configurations, as well as applying rules across a list of object configurations. These new features enable users to go further and do more with ensuring configuration compliance for API-managed network solutions like SD-WAN, Cloud, or service configurations in your organization.
In this demo we highlight:
- The new enhanced JSON features that will allow network teams to build more flexible golden configuration rules for API-managed services.
- How to utilize Device Groups and assign them to CLI-based golden configuration nodes.
