Mastering Python Networking - Second Edition

By: Eric Chou

Overview of this book

Networks in your infrastructure set the foundation for how your application can be deployed, maintained, and serviced. Python is the ideal language for network engineers to explore tools that were previously available to systems engineers and application developers. In this second edition of Mastering Python Networking, you’ll embark on a Python-based journey to transition from traditional network engineers to network developers ready for the next-generation of networks. This book begins by reviewing the basics of Python and teaches you how Python can interact with both legacy and API-enabled network devices. As you make your way through the chapters, you will then learn to leverage high-level Python packages and frameworks to perform network engineering tasks for automation, monitoring, management, and enhanced security. In the concluding chapters, you will use Jenkins for continuous network integration as well as testing tools to verify your network. By the end of this book, you will be able to perform all networking tasks with ease using Python.

Other AWS network services

There are lots of other AWS Network Services that we do not have the space to cover. Some of the more important ones are listed in this section:

  • AWS Transit VPC (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws-solution-transit-vpc/): This is a way to connect multiple virtual private clouds to a common VPC that serves as a transit center. This is a relatively new service, but it can minimize the connection that you need to set up and manage. This can also serve as a tool when you need to share resources between separate AWS accounts.
  • Amazon GuardDuty (https://aws.amazon.com/guardduty/): This is a managed threat detection service that continuously monitors for malicious or unauthorized behavior to help protect our AWS workloads. It monitors API calls or potentially unauthorized deployments.
  • AWS WAF (https://aws.amazon.com/waf/): This is a web application firewall...
