Your network shouldn't be a snowflake. Every manual CLI change, every undocumented config tweak, every "I'll fix it later" workaround is technical debt that compounds — and eventually breaks something at the worst possible time. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) changes that. By expressing your network's desired state in version-controlled configuration files, you get repeatability, auditability, and the confidence to make changes without fear. In this hands-on walk-in lab, you'll apply real DevOps principles to a real network using Cisco's Common Automation Framework. Choose your path — Cisco SD-WAN or ACI — and experience firsthand how a GitLab CI/CD pipeline can validate, deploy, test, and even revert network configuration changes automatically. No deep automation expertise required. Just bring curiosity and leave with a workflow you can take back to your team.
