Building the Automation Stack for the AI Era – OpsMill Triple-T
AI is changing network automation in two ways: how we build automation platforms, and how we use them to operate infrastructure.
AI makes it easier to build software, integrations, and automation, but it does not remove the long-term cost of owning and maintaining them. At the same time, AI agents need clean data, clear interfaces, controlled change processes, and auditability to operate infrastructure safely.
This session explores what to build, buy, or assemble, and how to create an automation foundation that works for both humans and AI.
