Packet Pushers Interview @ AutoCon 3

During AutoCon 3, Itential’s Chief Architect Peter Sprygada joined Ethen Banks from Packet Pushers to discuss Itential’s debut of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server and our strategic partnership with Selector. They explore how MCP serves as the universal translator between any AI or LLM—whether GPT, Anthropic, Gemini, or your own private models—and your Itential network orchestration workflows. You’ll hear how Selector’s AI models surface critical events, like interface failures or configuration drifts, and then hand them off to Itential for policy validation, automated remediation, and real-time compliance reporting.

Whether you’re curious about integrating AIOps into your existing toolchain or ready to explore AI-driven automation, this video delivers a clear roadmap for bringing AI-powered operations into production.

In this interview, you’ll hear Peter and Ethan discuss:

• The technical architecture behind MCP.
• The best practices for securing AI-driven actions with RBAC and audit trails.
• Real-world use cases being discussed at AutoCon 3.
