Speaking Session: Confessions of a CLI Lifer who learned to love automation

Speaking Session: Break down barriers before you build up platforms

Presented by Mark Prosser 
Date: Wednesday November 19th from 3:35PM-4:05PM

My Network Automation transformation initiative failed, like many efforts before it, because I believed a robust technical solution could overcome unidentified sociotechnical problems. The more the sociotechnical barriers presented themselves, the more scope creep the platform sought to solve; this was naive, but I learned a lot in retrospect.

We look forward to seeing you in Austin, Texas!
