NetBox Turns Ten and Becomes a Compliance Engine for AI Agents
NetBox turns ten and ships a compliance engine for AI agents — plus Nokia brings MCP-grounded agentic AI to carrier-scale IP networks, and a new arXiv paper makes the case for EVPN-VXLAN as the foundation for geo-distributed AI training.
Welcome to Amaze Networks for Friday, June twelfth. NetBox turned ten years old this week, and it marked the occasion by shipping something that changes what a source of truth actually does.
The anniversary framing is almost too neat, but the technology is real. This is not a cake-and-blog-post release — they shipped four substantive platform additions, and the one I keep coming back to is the Validation engine.
Let's start there. For anyone who has not been tracking it — NetBox has been the system of record for infrastructure for a decade. Where is every device, how is it connected, what is the intended state. What changed this week?
New episodes, every weekday.
