Views explainability for unknown paths

Big thanks to ‪@Cisco‬ for sponsoring this video and sponsoring my trip to Cisco Live Amsterdam. Will AI replace network engineers in 2026? In this video, I sit down with Joe Vaccaro (VP/GM of Cisco ThousandEyes) to reveal the truth about "Agentic Ops" and how it differs from traditional AIOps. We dive deep into the new "Digital Teammate" concept within ThousandEyes and demo exactly how AI agents can autonomously troubleshoot complex network outages (like DHCP and DNS failures) in seconds. Instead of taking your job, Joe explains how these agents act as a force multiplier for your career—handling the tedious "mean time to innocence" tasks so you can focus on architecture. If you are worried about the future of the CLI or manual troubleshooting, you need to see this demo. Key Topics Covered: • Cisco Agentic Ops Explained: Joe Vaccaro breaks down the shift to autonomous reasoning. • ThousandEyes Demo: Watch an AI agent diagnose a DHCP failure and suggest the exact fix (subnet expansion). • Views Explainability: How to troubleshoot "unknown paths" and ISP outages (like AWS/Azure) automatically. • Career Survival Guide: Why Cisco believes AI will train the next generation of CCIE-level engineers, not replace them. //Joe Vaccaro’s SOCIAL // Cisco Blogs: https://blogs.cisco.com/author/vaccaroj LinkedIn: / joevaccaro X: https://x.com/joevaccaro X: https://x.com/thousandeyes Website: https://www.thousandeyes.com/ // David's SOCIAL // Discord: discord.com/invite/usKSyzb Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: / @davidbombal Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/3f6k6gE...
