Network Changes Without Fear: Automating Network Config with IBM + NetBox

Manual change. Wasted weekend change windows. Risky deployments.

Join us as IBM & NetBox Labs come together to solve one of the biggest challenges in network operations: ensuring what you intend to change is exactly what’s executed – and remains that way.

IBM Concert Workflows bridge the entire lifecycle of network change – from pre-change validation and simulation through to post-change validation – underpinned by NetBox.

In this technical deep dive, see how IBM Concert Workflows, Ansible & NetBox come together for a modern approach to configuration and change management, driven directly by your source of truth.

Key Takeaways:

  • How to automate change at scale without compromising safety.
  • Closing the validation loop – pre-change validation, simulation, & post-change validation.
  • Amplify automation across your organization, bringing your tools together.
  • Real-world demo: NetBox + IBM Concert Workflows and Ansible in action.
