[grnog] GRNOG9 Network Automaiton discussion

[Kostas Zorbadelos]

Θεωρώντας τον εαυτό μου έναν από αυτούς τους ομιλητές, απαντώ λέγοντας
ότι δεν κάνεις automate *τα πάντα*, κάνεις στοχευμένα tasks και περιοχές
που έχουν νόημα. Επαναλαμβανόμενες εργασίες και περιοχές που η
αυτοματοποίηση θα δώσει μετρήσιμο benefit.

Ξεκινάς με μικρό και στοχευμένο scope και επεκτείνεσαι στην πορεία.

Επιπλέον, από το ξεκίνημα της Python έχουν αναπτυχθεί σημαντικά frameworks
και βιβλιοθήκες που δεν υπήρχαν στην αρχή.
