Description

“Automate what makes sense” sounds practical. In many network orgs, it becomes a permanent excuse to not automate anything.

This talk explains why automation stalls even when the tools are fine: unclear definitions of “safe” and “correct,” fragile inputs, and changes that can’t be proven before they ship. You’ll get a pragmatic way to turn automation from a special project into a normal way of working — with guardrails and evidence instead of optimism.

You’ll leave with a clear first step you can implement immediately, plus a simple path to build confidence and scale without betting the network on heroics.
