Day One: Juniper Ambassadors’ Cookbook for 2019

How-to solutions and network recipes by the community dedicated to up and running Juniper reliability. 

The Juniper Ambassador program recognizes and supports its top community members and the generous contributions they make through sharing their knowledge, passion, and expertise on J-Net, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social networks. 

“This is another great addition to the bulging Juniper Day One library. The Juniper Ambassadors have created recipes for a considerable number of hot-button issues facing engineers and architects today. The recipes explain and guide you through the setup of the solutions and help simplify and speed up the time to operations. There’s a great mix of traditional CLI-based implementation as well the new world of automation and network reliability engineering. I’ll certainly be using this book for some of my forthcoming data center and multicloud projects.”- Bhupen Mistry, Director & Principal Consultant, Operativity Ltd.
