“MCP is the USB-C for AI agents.” @John_Capobianco used that analogy on The Forward Slash podcast to explain why infrastructure teams are paying attention to MCPs right now: less glue code + one-off integrations, more reusable ops context for AI. 👉bit.ly/4nwYFjG

When a ServiceNow incident opens, someone in the NOC has to log in, run diagnostics, trace the issue, and write it all up. FlowAI handles that first layer automatically. Joksan Flores shows how its done in this troubleshooting agent demo 👉 bit.ly/4cXNDAi

What happens when AI agents interacts directly with your source of truth? In a webinar with @NetBoxLabs, @John_Capobianco uses FlowAgents to demo: ✓ Full NetBox MCP population in <2 min ✓ Bidirectional device sync ✓ Autonomous provisioning + config 👉 bit.ly/3OxfZYL

Script sprawl created years of ops debt for network teams. Now AI agents are doing the same, only faster. @John_Capobianco explores why “agent sprawl” is emerging as an ops challenge + why leading teams treat agents like mature automation: Full insights: bit.ly/42v999v

AI initiatives fail when teams skip steps. When "I tried ChatGPT for a config" jumps to "let's build autonomous remediation," and then trust + control feel like an afterthought. We built a 5-phase AI Maturity Roadmap for infrastructure teams to fix that:bit.ly/4u3sZoh

The VibeOps Lounge schedule is live for Cisco Live! Join @John_Capobianco all week for live sessions, demos, + hands-on discussions around where network operations is headed next. More of a pre-event planner? Book a 1:1 with the team before you land 👉 bit.ly/42SVGbn

The 3 hardest networking skills to hire for right now, according to @ema_research: network security, networking for AI, + network automation. See why these are exactly the skills needed to keep pace with infrastructure in the era of AI 👉 bit.ly/4uioLJX

A remote office loses reachability. Ticket opens in ServiceNow. Someone has to log in, run the commands, chase root cause, + write it up. Joksan built an agent that does all of it before a NOC engineer even opens the ticket. Watch the full demo 👉 bit.ly/4cXNDAi

"Can you give me your prompt?" Joksan Flores asked that twice in one day. Same question used to be about scripts years ago. What he's learned: more tools available to an LLM ≠ better output. He unpacks what matters for context engineering teams 👉 bit.ly/3MklIQu

16 automated workflows in production after year 1. 32 after year 2. 100 after year 3. 360+ today, running over 5 million times per year, with almost 10 workflows launching every minute somewhere across the Lumen ecosystem. See how they did it: bit.ly/4umhBET

That automation from 3 years ago –no docs, no owner, nobody wants to touch it? Itential’s new project-to-spec skill reads it (documented or not) and generates a retroactive spec + solution design. Learn more about Itential Skills for Claude Code 👉 bit.ly/4cHUg9A

Cisco Live doesn't end when the floor closes. 🍹 Tacos, Agents & Great Connections w/ @selectorai. Special guest: Ethan Banks of @packetpushers. 📍 Border Grill, Mandalay Bay 📅 Tuesday, June 2 | 6:30-8:30 PM RSVP today! Space is limited 👉 bit.ly/4nkGmOv

One agent per task, each with its own prompt, its own tools, its own edge cases. Same maintenance debt as the script era – just slightly faster. Joksan Flores shows another way: one FlowAgent, 5 health check personas, one workflow. Watch the full demo 👉 bit.ly/3QIPws1

When every domain executes changes differently, even a simple ticket turns into cross-team coordination + risk. A global credit services company fixed it with Itential: one orchestration layer across the stack, built-in governance, reusable automation. 👉 bit.ly/4n3DEwJ

IaC can get more complex the more you scale it – these are solutions reshaping how to get to what comes next: • Orchestration that actually executes • Policy enforced before plan-time • Drift detection that scales • Intent-driven access 👉 bit.ly/3OG7Bq1

Built for the people who actually read the docs. 🚀 Itential's new docs site is live – rebuilt from the ground up around how automation builders actually work. Smarter search, AI-assisted answers, action-based content organization. Start exploring: bit.ly/48bOI5j

AI workloads are changing how infrastructure runs. GPU neocloud enviornments mean tighter constraints, faster change & zero tolerance for disruption – putting pressure on ops. Dan Sullivan breaks down what shifts, and how to scale without added risk. 👉 bit.ly/3QFdODd

"Self-healing" isn't a switch you flip. It's a progression, and most teams are still in the middle. Donnie Page talks what it actually talks with @PlatformEng_: detect, act, confirm. And how to design with reliability built in, not bolted it on. 👉bit.ly/4tBqVDX

Some network engineers haven’t automated – not by choice. Old path: learn Python, APIs, debugging before delivering value. That’s changed. @John_Capobianco demos a real "Hello World" for AI in networking on @artofneteng: from prompt → NetBox → CSV: bit.ly/48O9WpN

Ankit Bhansali breaks down why spec-driven development is what infrastructure automation actually needs at scale: a way to make intent explicit, decisions visible, and outcomes traceable, so what gets built actually holds up. Explore his full insights 👉 bit.ly/4eSxbCy
