Network automation can save IT tremendous amounts of time by relieving staff of repetitive, formerly-manual tasks. However, many in the enterprise still fear the potentially wide-ranging impact of poorly-conceived and -executed automation projects, which can cause cascading problems that overwhelm the network. So how should your IT organization determine which tasks or actions are good candidates for automating, and how does IT implement these projects safely?
