#052: Innovation in Network Automation with Damien Garros: The OpsMill Solution - Part 1

Network Automation Nerds Podcast

In today's episode, we will go on a journey through the world of network automation with Damien Garros, the brain behind Opsmill.
In part 1 of our conversation, we will discuss his path in networking engineering, including moving from the France to the US with some initial challenges in both the engineering and cultural differences. He eventually became a voice of change at Juniper Networks and beyond.
The search for a reliable "source of truth" in infrastructure management can feel like a quest for the Holy Grail. In our discussion, Damien and I dissect the limitations of traditional databases and the allure of Git for its version control capabilities as we acknowledge both of their shortcomings.
Join us as we explore the journey of OpsMill, understand its impact on the industry, and learn about the future plans from Damien himself. This episode promises to be a treasure trove of insights for enthusiasts and professionals alike.
