Hello all! You may have seen Cisco has performed some layoffs recently. My role in Cisco's DevNet team, a group focused on developer advocacy, network programmability and API quality was eliminated.
I’m seeking a new role and would appreciate your support. If you hear of any opportunities or just want to catch up, please send me a message or comment below. I’d love to reconnect!
About me & what I’m looking for:
💼 I’m looking for Director of Information Technology and Distinguished Engineer roles.
🌎 I’m open to roles in Raleigh, but flexible if the opportunity is right.
⭐ If you've been to a CiscoLive conference or followed my posts here you've seen some breadcrumbs of the kind of work I do in Network Management, Automation, Orchestration, Network Programmability and Observability.

WEmulate (wemulate.github.io/wemulate/), a simple and modern WAN emulator, can now also be used in a container.
I created a demo setup with @go_containerlab to demonstrate and try it.

Most likely, something big is coming soon.

oh wow, I know @ubaumann_ch and I desperately need Wemulate to support interface in containers so that we can hook it up with containerlab.
This might be a killer combo.

For an easy way to try NUTS, I created a @go_containerlab demo. It is based on the example 5-stage Clos fabric topology.
It uses the NAPALM srlinux driver.

If this post gets 100 likes, I will create gNMI-based test cases. 😉

First new release jq in five years

I think we [(need to be)|are] aware of this peculiarities. I still prefer YAML. And we should anyway always verify the input.
I can still not believe why we see so little JSON Schema for YAML. It's really simple and nice

Do you know WEmulate?
github.com/wemulate
It uses TC in the end but has a nice UI. 100% open source and simple
The most promising way I see at the moment would be to use the Rich feature to export it as an SVG and post it as a picture using the upload endpoint.

The console output looks great but not the note (at least not out of the box. I need to investigate what GitLab supports)
Did you know you can use nice-looking scripts leveraging Python #rich by @textualizeio in CI/CD pipeline and posting it as a note into your Rull Request and it looks astonishing.
