In the first month I joined I was asked, 'How do I put a firewall between our subnets in AWS?'. What seemed like a simple ask turned into a real deep dive as I got into it. I'll talk about some history here, but first the announcement: aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/ins… 🧵 (1/n)

This Python library, scrapli, that @carlrmontanari developed can help you connect network devices via SSH or Telnet. It supports the super-fast SSH2 protocol library, ssh2-python, along with text-fsm/ntc-templates and PyATS parsing. Check it out: ow.ly/U4OG50z4t1K
