Creating a Russ White design certification for network automation

The chapter delves into the importance of a vendor agnostic and open-source network automation certification proposed by Russ White, covering software development, architecture, coding skills, and engineering principles. It discusses the significance of understanding software modularization, CI CD systems, GitOps, and operational aspects within an architecture at various skill levels, from associate to expert. The conversation also explores challenges faced by individuals without a coding background and emphasizes the need for professionals to focus on modularization, defining APIs, and ensuring coherence and reusability of modules in network automation projects.
