Network to Code

A lot of webinar audiences sit quietly. This one didn't. 👀 During our Nautobot 3.1 session, the chat was nonstop with questions about: → Scaling automation across teams → Operationalizing network data → Reducing onboarding friction → Making AI actually useful in production operations What stood out most wasn’t just the excitement around the release—it was who was asking the questions. Some teams were already deep into their automation journey and immediately connecting the new capabilities to real operational bottlenecks. Others are still early in their modernization efforts—but the takeaway was the same: Enterprise infrastructure teams are no longer looking for isolated automation scripts. They’re looking for an operational model that improves speed, consistency, and decision-making across the network. That’s exactly why Nautobot 3.1 stands out. ⭐ This release delivers stronger automation workflows, smarter data management, and more flexible deployment options designed to help teams scale operations while reducing risk. Whether you’re modernizing existing automation efforts or building a foundation from scratch, Nautobot 3.1 helps meet teams where they are—and gives them a path to mature faster. 🎥 Catch the full recording: https://lnkd.in/eazwTnPx If network operations, automation strategy, or infrastructure modernization are priorities for your team this year, this session is worth watching and sharing. #nautobot #networkautomation #netdevops #enterpriseautomation #nsot #nautobotcloud #nautobotenterprise #nautobotprofessional #automation

That’s a wrap on an incredible week at ONUG’s Dallas #AINetworking Summit. ⚡ From nonstop booth conversations and live demos to a packed workshop and engaging Triple-T session, the energy around the future of AI-powered network automation was impossible to miss. Huge thank you to everyone who stopped by to connect with the Network to Code team—we loved every conversation. ♥️ We’re also incredibly honored to receive ONUG’s Community Advocate Award for the 5th time in a row, recognizing the sponsor who brought the most enterprise attendees to the event. Thank you to the amazing #Nautobot community and especially the 72 attendees who joined us and helped make this year’s summit such a success. 👏 And to top it all off, NautobotAI MCP was awarded Best in Show for IT Networking. Built into Nautobot 3.1, NautobotAI MCP makes it possible to securely connect your preferred AI assistants directly into Nautobot workflows—unlocking an entirely new way to interact with and automate enterprise networks. The momentum around #AI + networking is only accelerating, and we’re excited for what’s ahead. Until next time. Happy automating! 🤖 #nautobotgpt #nautobotai #ainetworking #networkautomation #AINetworkingSummit #onug #netdevops #networkops #automationleaders #automationengineer #enterpriseautomation 

Most teams aren’t stuck because of tools—they’re stuck because of structure. 🤔 In his latest piece featured on Digital IT News, NTC’s Tim Schreyack breaks down what modern network teams actually look like in 2026—and why the old model just doesn’t hold up anymore. The takeaway? It’s not about hiring unicorns or forcing everyone to become developers. It’s about evolving your team intentionally: ✅ Platform teams building the automation factory, not just scripts ✅ Network engineers shifting from CLI work to design + validation ✅ Data stewards ensuring your Network Source of Truth actually… tells the truth And the stat that should make every leader pause: ➡️ 44% of automation barriers are people-related. Only 10% are technical. If your automation efforts aren’t scaling, it might not be your tools—it might be how your team is structured. Part 1 dives into the roles and structure shaping high-performing teams today. Part 2 will tackle how to actually make the transition. 👉 Read it here: https://lnkd.in/egH4X7g9 #networkautomation #netdevops #networking #cio #infrastructure #automationstrategy #enterpriseautomation #nsot #networkengineer #digitalitnews

Today’s the day. ⚡ Our hands-on Nautobot workshop at ONUG’s AI Networking Summit is just about at capacity—and we can’t wait to dive in with everyone joining us. This isn’t a sit-back-and-watch session. It’s 3 hours of real build time with our team, turning Network Source of Truth from concept into something you can actually use. With Bruce Rohrich, Adam Byczkowski, and Christopher M. leading the way, attendees are getting hands-on with: ✅ Scalable #NSoT foundations that hold up in real environments ✅ Practical automation use cases you can take back and apply fast ✅ Live Nautobot labs—no demos, you’re doing the work Plus, everyone walks away with a Nautobot Certified Associate exam voucher. If you grabbed a seat—get ready. If you didn’t, stop by the booth to see if there’s still room! #onug #networkautomation #automationtraining #nsot #nautobot #AINetworkingSummit #dallastech #texastech

Day 2 at ONUG’s AI Networking Summit Dallas 2026 — and we’re closing things out strong. ⚡ Yesterday was exactly why we show up to events like this. ♥️ The booth stayed busy, the conversations went deep, and the demos? Nonstop. From automation strategy to real-world use cases, it was a full day of talking through what it actually takes to make network automation stick. This is the part we love—being in the middle of it with all of you. Not just talking about the future, but working through it together. If you haven’t stopped by yet, there’s still time 👇 🎯 Catch a live demo of what’s new across #Nautobot 🎟️ Get in on the raffles before we wrap 🛠️ Ask us about the afternoon workshop and how to get hands-on fast Appreciate everyone who’s already come by, shared challenges, and pushed the conversation forward. Let’s finish strong. 💥 #onug #networkautomation #nsot #ainetworking #dallastech #texastech #ainetworkingsummit 

NetDevOps isn’t stalled—it’s solving the wrong problem. 🔽 In his latest piece featured on Techstrong Group’s DevOps.com, NTC’s Tim Schreyack breaks down what’s really holding automation back—and it’s not the tech. ➡️ Only 10% of teams cite technical challenges ➡️ 44% point to people: skills gaps, silos, resistance Let that land. Python is mature. Ansible is everywhere. The tools are ready. But without the right culture, data foundation, and collaboration model…progress stalls. A few takeaways that hit hard: 🔸You don’t need unicorn hires—you need to evolve the team you already have 🔸Automation success starts with a solid Network Source of Truth (#NSoT) 🔸#AI isn’t the starting point—it’s the outcome of doing automation right This isn’t a tooling problem. It’s a transformation problem. And the teams that figure that out in 2026? They’re the ones that win.

If you’re at ONUG ’s AI Networking Summit today, don’t miss this one. 3:05 PM — NTC’s Jeff Bradbury takes the stage ⭐ There’s a lot of noise right now around #AI in networking. The real question isn’t if you should use it—it’s where it actually fits. This session cuts through that. 👉 Where AI adds real value (and where it doesn’t) 👉 Why execution still demands precision—not probability 👉 How a Network Source of Truth powers #AI and Automation This isn’t theory—it’s a practical way to think about AI + automation in the real world. Bottom line: Use AI to guide. Use automation to deliver. If you're trying to move faster without introducing risk, this is worth your time.
