Key benefits

  • Leverage Python's powerful libraries and frameworks to build production-ready network automation solutions efficiently and effectively
  • Implement network security, monitoring, and management solutions using modern DevOps tools and cloud-native approaches
  • Utilize AsyncIO and cloud capabilities in Python 3 for AWS and Azure network solutions

Description

Networks in your infrastructure set the foundation for deploying, maintaining, and servicing applications. Python is the ideal language for network engineers to explore tools that were previously available to systems engineers and application developers. Mastering Python Networking, Fourth edition, guides you on a Python-driven journey from traditional network engineering to modern network development. This new edition incorporates the latest Python features and DevOps frameworks. In addition to new chapters on introducing Docker containers and Python 3 Async IO for network engineers, each chapter is updated with the latest libraries and working examples to ensure compatibility and clarity of the concepts. Starting with a basic overview of Python, the book teaches you how it can interact with both legacy and API-enabled network devices. You will learn to leverage high-level Python packages and frameworks to perform network automation tasks, monitoring, management, and enhanced network security, followed by AWS and Azure cloud networking. You will use Git for code management, GitLab for continuous integration, and Python-based testing tools to verify your network. By the end of this book, you'll be a confident network developer capable of automating modern infrastructure using Python, DevOps practices, and cloud technologies.

Who is this book for?

Mastering Python Networking, Fourth edition is for network engineers, developers, and SREs who want to learn Python for network automation, programmability, monitoring, cloud, and data analysis. Network engineers who want to transition from manual to automation-based networks using the latest DevOps tools will also get a lot of useful information from this book. Basic familiarity with Python programming and networking-related concepts such as Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) will be helpful in getting the most out of this book.

What you will learn

  • Use Python to interact with network devices
  • Explore Docker for efficient network application development and deployment
  • Extract network insights using Python and monitoring tools like NetFlow and SNMP
  • Analyze network data with ELK for real-time visualization
  • Build high-level API with Flask for in-house applications
  • Discover the new AsyncIO feature and its concepts in Python 3
  • Explore test-driven development concepts and use PyTest to drive code test coverage
  • Understand how to implement DevOps best practices with GitLab in networking

I recently read Mastering Python Networking and was thoroughly impressed with the depth and breadth of information covered in this book. The author does an excellent job of explaining complex concepts in an easy-to-understand manner. The examples and use cases provided throughout the book are practical and relevant to real-world scenarios. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to expand their knowledge of Python networking.

The media could not be loaded. If you're looking to get the foundation and basic structure of python so that you can learn your way into tensorflow and start running epochs on your softmax three layer neural networks, you got to get into the groove somehow and even if you're not a computer person and you're like me who's tossed Pig bellies down a pork assembly line for years, you'll find this book grants you the basic access to python syntax while paying close attention to the scope of function and implementing callbacks while learning how to assemble.json objects organize a raise, cut them subtract from them add to them and so on. I'm going to like my new job as a software engineer the guys at the slaughterhouse are going to be jealous as heck when I start banging my face on those keys and making money come out. Pigbellies going down the shoot, going to train retrain and install Transformers to model large language samples and pay special attention to something called self attention. That's what's going to bring in the money for a new pickup truck and a donkey. When you start talking about self-attention and attention heads you start looking at the interrelationships between words as a matrices that helps computers crack what we call intelligent speech or sentient reasoning with language. I wonder when they'll be able to do that with bacon.

Having enjoyed the third edition of Mastering Python Networking so much, I had the opportunity to review the 4th edition in advance and let me say that the additional content for container networking is enough to make this book a great tool for engineers looking to migrate from CLI into a move automated mindset. Definitely getting it in paperback and again cannot recommend it enough!

This is a great book and reference.The book starts from basics and works its way through device interactions, automation frameworks, device automation and CICD. Topics also included are yang, docker, PY ATS and even all the main cloud vendors.The examples are simple to follow and extremely well written.Don’t get left behind.

This book offers a great jump start to learning how to use tools such as Python, Ansible, Docker, and much more within network engineering. I've read through the previous edition and can say that this book offers a lot more up to date information. There's also plenty of real-world examples that are useful, especially to beginners. They also offer a GitHub repository to go along with the book that has all of the code examples, which I find to be a nice benefit. I'd definitely recommend pulling some of the code and using them within your own lab for practice.Overall, it's a solid book. Always enjoy Eric Chou's content, especially his podcast. Would recommend this for any network professional to add to the book shelf.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created.

As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published.
