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 Configuration as Code Is Transforming Operations","slug":"how-network-configuration-as-code-is-transforming-operations","published_at":"2026-07-03T22:37:43+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/networking-tech-with-fexingo-internet-infrastructure-routing-and-network-engineering-7871928/how-network-configuration-as-code-is-transforming-operations","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-0089.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/networking-tech/episode-0089.mp3","summary":"Episode 89 of Networking Tech with Fexingo dives into Network Configuration as Code (NetConfig-as-Code), a paradigm shift where network engineers manage router and switch configurations using version-controlled declarative languages like YANG, Jinja2, and Ansible. Lucas opens with a story about a major financial firm that reduced configuration errors by 78% after adopting a Git-based workflow. Luna questions whether this approach scales beyond cloud-native companies and challenges Lucas on the learning curve for legacy engineers. They discuss real-world tooling—SaltStack, Nornir, and Terraform for network—and the cultural shift from CLI-based 'cowboy coding' to automated, peer-reviewed deployments. The episode ties to recent industry data showing a 40% faster time-to-revenue for firms using infrastructure-as-code principles. The hosts also weave in a light donation segment tied to the show's ad-free model. Specific stats, tool comparisons, and a critical look at operational readiness make this a practical listen for network professionals. #NetworkConfigurationAsCode #NetConfigAsCode #InfrastructureAsCode #NetworkAutomation #YANG #Jinja2 #Ansible #GitOps #SaltStack #Nornir #Terraform #CLIMigration #NetworkEngineering #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Coding #DevOps Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 89 of Networking Tech with Fexingo dives into Network Configuration as Code (NetConfig-as-Code), a paradigm shift where network engineers manage r…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":618,"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-configuration-as-code-is-transforming-operations/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-configuration-as-code-is-transforming-operations.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
