Interested in learning from WWT, industry experts, and skilled professionals on various infrastructure automation and programmability topics?  If so, join us at a Programmability and Automation Meetup Group.

Upcoming Sessions

Our goal is to have a monthly cadence with new and exciting topics to discuss.  Below you will find upcoming meetings, including the session abstract and presenter information.  If you are interested in presenting a topic, please see the Call for Presenters block below.  

Session Details:

During this session, we will show how Slurp'it and Netpicker can solve the three main challenges that engineers face in their network automation journey:

1. How to discover, onboard & reconcile network data with your NSoT (NetBox, Nautobot, or Infrahub)
2. How to validate your network with Python-based network testing
3. How to ensure you stay in control of your network intent vs state

It's for network engineers using NetBox, Nautobot, or Infrahub who are considering using slurpit.io and netpicker.io for network discovery and validation.

More info on what to expect: https://netpicker.io/how-to-succeed-with-network-automation-using-netbox/

Are you interested in presenting at one of the Programmability and Automation Meetup Groups?  If so, please fill out the questionnaire located here to get on the schedule.  If you have any additional questions, please reach out to  Nick Thompson.
