The Evolution of Network Automation: Transitioning from Consumer to Producer (NFD 36)

Network automation is going through an evolution right now. Most network engineers have built awesome scripts or playbooks that solve some problems but you’re nowhere near deploying like AWS. For most, automation likely saves you some time and reduces human error but isn’t the sort of thing you can package up into a product and enable the rest of the organization to consume, let alone be delivered as a self-serve product for app dev teams to utilize.

In this session, Peter Sprygada, VP of Product Management dives into making sense of the evolution of network automation and how network teams can become producers and evolve from building network automations to offering infrastructure products with Itential.
