Network Automation Resources

These are my personal notes on where to go to find specific vendor documentation to enable automation. This is a live document as I it will be updated as I get more useful links to share.

“Just remember, you can do anything you set your mind to, but it takes action, perseverance, and facing your fears.” – Gillian Anderson

This resource list covers the following vendors:
Cisco - Arista - Juniper - F5 - Palo Alto - Azure - AWS - GCP
