Interview in the Network Automation Nerds Podcast
I had a nice chat with Eric Chou in his Network Automation Nerds Podcast about some of the topics that I’ve talked about on my books, like Software Architecture and Automation. We also covered topics like how I started my journey into Python or the difference between different roles.
The chat is available in podcast format

#026: Netris Discussion with Alex Saroyan – Network Automation Nerds Podcast
In this episode, I talked to Alex Saroyan about his network engineering journey, automation opportunities, founding Netris, and scaling up its operations. Netris wants to let you run your network with a cloud-like experience by creating NetOps software for your private cloud. The use cases include hybrid/private cloud, on-premise Kubernetes, Edge computing, and many more. In this episode, Alex talked about his moment of clarity when he realized he wanted to create a company to satisfy an unmet need. This amazing journey where he took his ambition from Europe to the states, where he saw the next movements in the network automation industry.
