For organizations having their on-prem cloud, the OPEX for network engineering is enormous. Even then they are not able to provide 99.99% uptime and reliability. Their oncall network engineering expense is huge.
Public cloud providers have already found ways to reduce this cost through automation, a streamlined network framework and process, and numerous enriched solutions. As a technical lead for Azure Networking, Azure Stack, as well as a service provider like ViaSat, I have gained a breadth of knowledge about the best practices SMBs or even large enterprises could adopt to cut their network engineering opex. As a speaker, I am interested in sharing these best practices and case studies with the audience.
