This book is designed to help those in a DevOp environment that are new to API, visualization of networking, storage and the control and management of such interfaces. After all technology has changed in so much and in such a short time it is no longer possible to write quick and easy scripts using username and password as authentication. Furthermore we can no longer post the API up for the public without security, authentication and authorization.
Similarly Operations only a few years ago had to managed and control network management systems without any programming knowledge, whereas developers knew nothing of networks – each to their own. However SDN and cloud development has changed everything. Now as DevOps we must understand how the environment we have inherited can co-exist and how we can manage it large scale and once more make it our own to manage and control.
