Really good pod/intro to pyATS. As an engineer the use cases presented herein - going beyond config-automation & focusing on automated network validation/testing - speaks volumes to me. Think I'll dip my toes into this end of the automation pool first. Exciting stuff. #pyATS #Cisco #neteng

7️⃣ Test Like a Developer
Would you push untested code to production?
Then why push configs without validation?
Use pyATS, Batfish, or even custom Python to simulate changes before deploying.

3️⃣ Use the Right Tools
• ✅ Python for quick scripts
• ✅ Ansible for configuration consistency
• ✅ Terraform for infra lifecycle
• ✅ pyATS/Nornir for testing
Each has a place. Don’t force one tool to do everything.
