About
Build Intelligent Networks with AI
A hands-on workshop teaching network engineers how to leverage AI and LLMs for practical network automation, monitoring, and operations.
Duration: 5.5 hours | Format: Online, hands-on | Date: January 24, 2026
Instructor: William Collins
What You'll Learn
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
- Understand LLM fundamentals using network engineering concepts
- Use Claude Code to accelerate Ansible playbook development
- Build MCP servers that invoke Ansible playbooks via natural language
- Deploy AI-powered monitoring with Prometheus alerting tools
- Create agentic AI workflows for autonomous network operations
Key Concept: Each lab builds on the previous one:
- Lab 1: Create Ansible playbooks with Claude Code
- Lab 2: Add MCP tools that invoke those playbooks ("Add VLAN 15 to leaf2")
- Lab 3: Extend MCP with Prometheus alerting tools
