Abstract

The described technology is generally directed towards an automation agent for network equipment configuration. The automation agent can be incorporated into a network automation platform. The network automation platform can include, inter alia, a communication channel, such as a data movement as a platform (DMaaP) communication channel, which is used by various components of the network automation platform. The disclosed automation agent can monitor the communication channel for network equipment configuration communications generated by other components of the network automation platform. In response to a network equipment configuration communication, the automation agent can create an interface update file comprising the updated interface configuration data, and send the interface update file to a network equipment configuration update service for deployment to the network equipment.
