Automation.Day NYC '24 - Observability at a Large-Scale Conference: The CiscoLive NOC
Since 1987, CiscoLive has been the premiere event for networking education, collaboration, and fun. Las Vegas 2023 brought 19,600 attendees to the Mandalay Bay Conference Center and adjacent properties. To support the event, the CiscoLive team has a few days to provision 2300 wireless access points, over 650 switches, and a mobile data center. This session was a behind-the-scenes look at the automation and network monitoring done to support such a significant event in a short amount of time. In this session, we heard about open-source solutions like InfluxDB and Grafana and the importance of standardized management interfaces like gRPC and NETCONF/YANG.
