Center of Excellence

Automate the Future of Network Infrastructure

Deploy network changes with confidence. We combine model-driven automation, version control, and CI/CD pipelines to build predictable, resilient network operations.

Our Philosophy

Manage Networks Following DevOps Principles

Infrastructure as Code

Describe your entire network state using structured data models (YAML/JSON) rather than manual device command-lines. Build reproducible, auditable configurations.

Single Source of Truth

Maintain your network's target configuration in Git. Track changes, enable easy rollbacks, prevent configuration drift, and ensure peer reviews through Pull Requests.

Automated Testing

Validate configurations before touching live switches. Run pre-checks in simulated topologies, check routing tables, and verify security postures in CI pipelines.

Operational Excellence

Solving Traditional Network Challenges

Traditional Operations

Manual CLI Provisioning

Engineers manually connect to switches to configure services. High error rates and configuration drift.

Untested Deployments

Changes are deployed to production without automatic pre-validation, risking unexpected downtime.

No Configuration History

Hard to determine who changed what or when, making audit trails and rollback troubleshooting incredibly slow.

NetKode Center of Excellence

Model-Driven Network as Code

Deploy uniform, template-based structures via automation engines across multivendor environments.

CI/CD Automated Validation

Every config modification runs automated syntax checks, validation policies, and dry-runs before rollout.

Git-Based Control & Rollbacks

Full tracking, peer review cycles, and one-click rollback capabilities to maintain perfect alignment.

End-to-End Automation Stepper

From initial infrastructure audit to day-n release management, we guide enterprise adopters through a structured transition.

STAGE 01 — AUDIT & STRATEGY

Network Automation Readiness

We analyze your current networking topology, equipment vendors, CLI scripts, and team capabilities to define your path from manual changes to modern, version-controlled automation.

Multivendor inventory and compatibility assessment
Mapping current CLI workflows to YANG or YAML schema models
Creating an Automation Roadmap aligned to Cisco LCS principles
STAGE 02 — ARCHITECTURE & RUNBOOKS

Setup & Integration

We stand up the toolchain ecosystem, configure the source of truth directories, and establish secure controller hook connections (such as NSO, DNAC, and Terraform providers).

Configuring version control (GitLab/GitHub) repositories for inventory
Deploying Ansible execution environments and Terraform modules
Setting up security tokens, vault credentials, and SSH keys
STAGE 03 — CI/CD VALIDATION

Release Management

Deploy configurations safely using continuous validation. We establish strict pipelines that test changes in staging environments or virtual sandboxes before pushing updates live.

Syntax check, linting, and policy-as-code validations (Open Policy Agent)
Pre-change verification using Cisco NSO commits and dry-runs
Post-change network assertions (confirming ping connectivity and routing)
STAGE 04 — DRIFT PROTECTION & ROLLBACK

Continuous Rollback Capability

If an anomaly occurs post-deployment, rollback instantly to a clean version-controlled state. We design transaction-safe pipelines that revert change steps dynamically.

NSO transaction rollbacks (instant reversal of commits)
Ansible runbooks equipped with error catchers and reversal plays
Daily automatic sync checks comparing actual network configurations to Git
STAGE 05 — TRAINING & STEWARDSHIP

Enablement & 24x7 Support

We empower your teams to build, scale, and manage their automation internally. We support you around the clock to resolve deployment anomalies and design new automation features.

Hands-on labs on Cisco NSO, YANG modeling, Terraform, and Git operations
24x7 expert support SLA for critical pipeline issues
Monthly optimization audits to enhance performance as you scale
