Open Source Summit + ELC North America 2019

The journey to cloud and automation is a rocky one, with many twists and turns, and often full-on roadblocks.

Antidote is a new project based on the idea of "curriculum-as-code", which allows teachers to create lesson content as simply as possible, while the back-end infrastructure creates complex topologies for dynamic and immersive learning experiences. All of this complexity is hidden to the learner, as they get everything they need in the browser, including an interactive terminal.

In this session, Matt Oswalt will dive into the Antidote project, and the freely available public runtime, NRE Labs (https://labs.networkreliability.engineering). We'll explore live, interactive lessons where you can learn the fundamentals of automation, specific tools in this space, and even some relevant workflows inspired by real-world production use cases. We'll also explore how Antidote allows experienced engineers to more easily contribute their expertise to this powerful new learning tool.
