AOL's J.McCollum: Trigger; configuring network hardware so you don't have to

Joint meetup with LAWebSpeed (https://www.meetup.com/LAWebSpeed/events/78583602/):

Trigger - Configuring network hardware so you don't have to:
AOL has a huge network. Are you done laughing? No seriously, we have a HUGE network. Yes, the network has shrank over the years, but we still have over 5,000 network devices we have to keep up and running. In this presentation I will talk about Trigger, a network toolkit we created to manage our network hardware at scale.

He is focused on unifying all network engineering configuration and interaction under a suite of service-based components.
