This document discusses network automation using PyEZ, an open-source Python framework for working with Juniper devices. PyEZ provides an abstraction layer and micro-framework on top of NETCONF to allow users to work with Juniper devices programmatically in Python. The document provides instructions on setting up a lab environment with Juniper VMX and installing PyEZ via Pip. It includes examples of using PyEZ to retrieve a router's routing table and load a configuration file.
