Each episode opens with a recent network outage, a peering dispute, or a routing-table anomaly — then traces the engineering decisions and business incentives behind it. Lucas maps the technical architecture (BGP, MPLS, IXPs), while Luna pushes on the economics: who pays for undersea cables, why ISPs throttle certain traffic, and how network neutrality shapes startup access. They analyze real incidents — AWS’s Tokyo region failure, a Level 3 vs. Cogent peering war, or the latency impact of a new data-center route — and explain what network engineers actually debate in NANOG meetings. This is not a ‘how the internet works’ primer; it’s the layer-3 view for professionals who manage, build, or invest in network infrastructure. Expect granular discussions of dark fiber, CDN caching strategies, and the politics of IP address allocation. By the end, you’ll see the internet as a finite, fragile, and fiercely competitive topology — and understand why a single undersea cable cut can reset stock prices. #InternetInfrastructure #NetworkEngineering…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-18T22:19:10.157593+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/networking-tech-with-fexingo-internet-infrastructure-routing-and-network-engineering-7871928"},"episode":{"title":"How Network Automation with SaltStack Is Transforming NetOps","slug":"how-network-automation-with-saltstack-is-transforming-netops","published_at":"2026-06-22T22:12:03+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/networking-tech-with-fexingo-internet-infrastructure-routing-and-network-engineering-7871928/how-network-automation-with-saltstack-is-transforming-netops","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/networking-tech-with-fexingo-internet-infrastructure-routing-and-network-engineering-7871928","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/networking-tech/episode-0067.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/networking-tech/episode-0067.mp3","summary":"Episode 67 of Networking Tech with Fexingo explores how network engineers are using SaltStack, an open-source automation framework originally designed for server configuration, to manage routers and switches. Lucas and Luna break down a real deployment at a mid-sized enterprise that cut device provisioning time from 45 minutes to under 3 minutes. They discuss the push-vs-pull model, how Salt's event-driven reactor automates responses to network failures, and why this approach is gaining traction over traditional Ansible-based automation. The hosts also touch on the cultural shift from CLI-driven workflows to infrastructure-as-code in networking teams. If you are a network engineer evaluating automation tools or just curious how modern networks are managed at scale, this episode gives you a concrete look at one rapidly adopted solution. #NetworkAutomation #SaltStack #NetOps #InfrastructureAsCode #OpenSourceNetworking #NetworkEngineering #EventDrivenAutomation #ConfigurationManagement #ZeroTouchProvisioning #NetworkDevOps #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast #LucasAndLuna #DevOpsForNetworks #NetworkConfiguration #AutomationTools Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 67 of Networking Tech with Fexingo explores how network engineers are using SaltStack, an open-source automation framework originally designed for…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":482,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/networking-tech-with-fexingo-internet-infrastructure-routing-and-network-engineering-7871928/episodes/how-network-automation-with-saltstack-is-transforming-netops/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/networking-tech-with-fexingo-internet-infrastructure-routing-and-network-engineering-7871928/how-network-automation-with-saltstack-is-transforming-netops.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
