Cisco's Reddit AMA recap outlines their strategic direction for network automation at scale. Key themes include AI as a reasoning layer (not fully autonomous), with human approval required before any config changes. The AgenticOps model aims to unify cloud-managed (Meraki) and on-premises (Catalyst) environments via a single pane of glass and unified APIs. Best practices covered: start with high-frequency low-variability tasks, establish a single source of truth (NetBox, Git), use circuit breakers to limit blast radius, and align NetOps/Security/AppDev teams on standardized processes. Cisco's DevNet Sandbox and Agentic Workflows Exchange are highlighted as developer resources.
