In our fast-paced network environment, velocity and safety are often at odds with each other. However, the devastating consequences of the access_denied SEV0 highlighted the need for a new approach to change management. In response, Netinfra has adopted a revolutionary Safe Deployment strategy that prioritizes both speed and reliability. Join us as we explore the evolution of change safety management for over 300+ network devices in Meta datacenters and delve into the methodologies and tools that underpin Safe Deployment. We’ll discuss how automated testing, network simulation, and controlled rollouts come together to minimize the risk of network disruptions and downtime. We’ll also examine the benefits and technical challenges of Netinfra’s centralized safety service, which streamlines safety checks and ensures consistency across all network operations and changes. Take away valuable insights on balancing velocity and safety in your network environment and learn from Netinfra’s experiences in creating a more reliable and secure network infrastructure.
