NetInfra - A Framework for Expressing Network Infrastructure as Code

Published: 08 July 2022 Publication History

Abstract

NetInfra is a framework designed to manage both DHCP and DNS services. It does this through single source of truth formatted to be consumed by configuration management software which reduces duplication of efforts and unifies the configuration of these interrelated services across otherwise unrelated software systems. In this paper, we review a production deployment of managing DHCP and DNS services via the NetInfra framework and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the the framework itself.
