Design-Driven Automation: Hands-On Labs with Nautobot & Digital Twins
Roll up your sleeves and experience design-driven automation in action. This technical workshop immerses practitioners in a complete automation workflow: programmatically create a site design, populate Nautobot’s Source of Truth, spin up a digital twin with Containerlab, deploy configurations with Golden Config, and validate changes using NUTS ( Network Unit Testing System) testing bundles. Guided by experts from Network to Code, you’ll gain practical skills to accelerate your automation journey and leave with confidence to replicate these methods in your own environment. Ideal for engineers and practitioners ready to explore cutting-edge tools and hands-on techniques that bridge design, deployment, and continuous validation.
You’ll complete labs on:
- Programmatically building branch/site designs
- Populating Nautobot’s Source of Truth
- Spinning up a digital twin using Containerlab
- Deploying configs with Nautobot Golden Config
- Validating changes with NUTS
