Over the weekend, I finally had time to look through the NANOG 93 photos. It gave me some great reflections and a renewed appreciation for the collaborative knowledge sharing at the conference. Seeing the program we worked so hard on come to life and resonate with the attendees was particularly fulfilling. Some highlights that stood out for me: ? The discussions on AI-powered Network 5.0. The discussions around AI-powered Network 5.0 really sparked my interest in how these technologies will reshape our infrastructure. ? Fascinating deep-dives into quantum internet possibilities. ? That thought-provoking session on interplanetary communication. ? The packed house for "Demystifying Clos Fabrics" (pro tip: it's French, the 's' is silent!) ? The energy during our "Whiteboarding 101" workshop. It was great to see so many people engaged in our Whiteboarding 101 workshop! ? And who could forget NANOG Trivia? The perfect blend of education and entertainment, where community engagement had everyone energized as they flexed their networking knowledge muscles! ?? One of my key takeaways was the strong sense of community and the shared interest in advancing internet technology. Want to revisit these moments?

In this fantastic talk from the recently held NANOG 93 in Atlanta, Geoff Huston, Chief Scientist at APNIC, discussed Starlink Protocol Performance and referenced the Cisco ThousandEyes research we presented at NANOG 92 in Toronto on “What’s Up with Starlink Speeds?”. Both Geoff and our team shared interesting new data on Starlink performance. We’re committed to continuing our research and publishing more findings. Highly recommended!

Infrastructure automation starts with data management. At NANOG 93, Damien Garros shared a fundamental truth about automation: before you can streamline processes, you need to solve your data challenges. Across industries, there's a growing consensus—successful automation begins with a clear, organized understanding of intent. Capturing that intent becomes the driving force behind effective automation and efficient infrastructure management. ?? What’s your biggest data challenge when it comes to automation? Let’s discuss in the comments. #InfrastructureAutomation #DataManagement #NetworkAutomation
