NetOps (Network Operations) is a modern approach to managing and automating network infrastructure, emphasizing agility, automation, and scalability. As networks grow in complexity due to cloud services, virtualization, and IoT, NetOps focuses on using software-defined tools, automation, and orchestration to streamline network management and operations.

NetOps enables network automation, real-time monitoring, and analytics through tools like Ansible, Puppet, and Terraform, which help automate configuration, deployment, and monitoring processes. This shift from manual network management to automated, software-defined operations allows network teams to respond faster to business needs, reduce downtime, and improve network performance.

In cloud environments, NetOps integrates with DevOps and CloudOps to ensure seamless operations across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, aligning network management with software development and IT operations.
