Welcome to my first post since I joined Aviatrix.
What is Aviatrix for the first time reader?
In very simple words:
- Cisco/Juniper = the foundation for On-Prem solutions and traditional Datacenters.
- Aviatrix steps in when it comes to the world of Multicloud.
Connectivity, Visibility, Security in the datapath, Cloud born and IaaS powered (Terraform).

Coming back on topic…
Any system you deploy comes with its own alerting capabilities.
Most alerting capabilities offer first the functionality of sending emails to a noc or operations list where the Engineer On Duty usually monitors the events and takes action.
Simple, right?
Not when you’re growing and you have multiple different departments and solutions running in your company…each one sending you emails for each event that takes place.
A “normal” day in the life of an engineer can easily turn into this (yes, that is my very own mailbox):
I’ve been through this, especially when coming back after a bank holiday and it has always been painful to figure out what is still DOWN.
It was also challenging not to skip some alerts while rushing through emails and then be called later in the day
to be asked why connectivity between some application components still does not work => Headache moment…
What if there was a different way of doing it ?
What about the Chatops model ?
MS Teams, Slack, Webex and the list goes on.
A pop-up you can never easily ignore :)
