Red Hat Summit 2025 - Data-Driven Automation with NetBox Hands on Lab
Data is the foundation for scalable, reliable infrastructure automation, but many organizations struggle with inventory management and data configuration as they work to fully automate their infrastructure lifecycle.
On May 21st, 2025, Nick Thompson presented a session at Red Hat Summit in Boston, MA, in which he introduced NetBox, a solution for modeling and documenting modern networks as a single source of truth for network automation, built on Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. In this session, they explored this data-centric automation approach with live demonstrations of automating:
* Device and data onboarding into the NetBox platform using Ansible Automation Platform.
* Day 0 network provisioning.
* Day 2 operations and configuration compliance.
* Testing and validation
This event provides access to the companion lab presented during the session so that attendees can get hands-on experience with the technologies and integrations demonstrated during the talk.
AI at Work: Streamlining Warehouse Operations with Automated Label Scanning
WWT piloted a custom AI-powered label scanning system to streamline warehouse receiving operations. By combining edge computing, multimodal models and real-time system integration, the solution significantly reduced manual processing time and improved accuracy. Built in-house to meet specific operational needs, the system offers a scalable, cost-effective path to modernizing warehouse workflows and enhancing overall supply chain performance.
Automating Label Scanning at Scale with AI at the Edge
Automating label scanning at scale in WWT warehouses posed significant challenges. Our AI-powered solution, leveraging edge computing, computer vision and LLMs, achieved real-time, high-quality label detection and extraction during the pilot program. This system promises improved efficiency by reducing manual reconciliation time from hours to minutes. Future enhancements can enable even greater performance gains.
How AI is Forcing a Redesign of Enterprise Infrastructure
Neil Anderson and Nick Lippis explore the urgent need to rethink architecture for a real-time, data-intensive future.
Data-driven Automation with Netbox
In this hands-on lab, learners will explore how to build and configure a data-driven automation workflow using Ansible Automation Platform and NetBox. The lab guides users through practical exercises that demonstrate how real-time source of truth changes can trigger automated configuration. Participants will configure NetBox event rules and webhooks to emit actionable events, set up Event-Driven Ansible event streams to receive and process those events, and create rulebook activations that respond intelligently. By the end of the lab, learners will have a working solution that tightly integrates their source of truth with automation workflows—enabling scalable, responsive infrastructure management.

You Can't Automate What You Don't Know: Why Visibility Is the Top Automation Priority for 2025
Automation promises faster deployments, fewer errors and greater efficiency—but what if the biggest barrier isn't technical at all? Many organizations are charging ahead with automation strategies without a clear understanding of their own IT environments.
In this episode of WWT Presents Research host Robb Boyd sits down with Nick Thompson Distinguished Solutions Architect at World Wide Technology, to explore the foundational role of infrastructure visibility in automation success.
Unlocking Seamless Digital Workspaces: How AIOps and DEM Work Together
As IT environments continue to grow in scale and complexity, relying on manual operations just doesn't cut it anymore. Advancements in technologies like AI and ML have led to the rise of AIOps and Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) — solutions that extend the power of IT Operations Management (ITOM) to drive deeper insights and smarter automation.
Before we discuss how these two are connected, let's take a closer look at each separately.
Using Data to Pave the Way for AI and Automation
C-level leaders are looking to artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate automation within their organizations. But in the rush to adopt AI, many forget that the success of both AI and automation hinges on an organization's data maturity.
Join Anshul Chaturvedi, a principal consultant with WWT focused on data, analytics and AI, as he talks about how organizations can mature their data capabilities to maximize their AI and automation investments. Anshul breaks down the interplay between automation and AI, pragmatic ways to start incorporating AI into an automation journey and provides tips on communicating progress to executive and line of business stakeholders.
Advancing AI in Healthcare to Improve Efficiency and Unlock Productivity
While typically slow to adopt new technology, healthcare providers appear willing to embrace AI to augment clinical decision making and reduce burdensome administrative tasks. Health systems are accelerating AI adoption to drive operational efficiency and better care outcomes.
Join WWT Chief Healthcare Advisor Dr. Sanaz Cordes and Senior AI Consultant Drew Pikey as they talk about how healthcare organizations can overcome challenges related to AI adoption, the risks involved in integrating AI throughout your organization and use cases that are driving the most value (both today and in the future).
