Learn how to implement Network-as-Code operating models to reduce network change failures through this 35-minute conference talk from NANOG. Discover practical approaches to applying CI/CD workflows, structured intent, and automated testing to daily network change operations, moving beyond manual processes that often lead to configuration drift and validation gaps. Explore how configuration data, schemas, validation rules, and automation pipelines integrate to create effective guardrails that minimize rollback events and improve consistency across devices and domains. Gain insights from real-world customer environments that have successfully transitioned to these methodologies, including lessons learned from incremental adoption strategies, operational successes and challenges, and practical starting points for implementation. Watch a recorded demonstration showing validation behavior and post-change verification within CI/CD-driven workflows, presented by Cisco Principal Architect Navin Suvarna, who specializes in network architecture, operations, and large-scale transformation initiatives across enterprise, data center, and service provider environments.
