DevOps is slowly becoming the new norm in the networking industry. It is also true if we look at the Wi-Fi industry. DevOps allows companies to automate a lot of time sensitive and tedious tasks. It also helps us to be proactive and identify issues before they can have negative impact on the Wi-Fi network.
A company such as Mist provides extensive API capabilities that allows Engineers to use programs in order to interact with their cloud platform. At SemFio Networks, we are loving it!
At SemFio Networks, we have been developing tools and resources to take advantage of the Mist API in order to automate the following tasks:
- Zero day provisioning of access points
- Deployment of new access points
- Configurations of access point for site surveys
We are looking at adding more tools to the list in order to help our customers save time (and money) when they deploy their new Mist network.
This page presents a few good resources that can help you develop your own tools in order to take advantage of the Mist API platform.
