Templates for the WIN! - Modern Config Mgmt w/ CatCenter Templates *LAB DAY*
·OnlineOnlineIf you’ve ever needed to make a “simple” network change — new AAA servers, syslog updates, DNS changes, or compliance tweaks — and worried about consistency, drift, or breaking something, this LAB DAY is for you!
In this MN Bytes & Brews session, we’ll focus on how Catalyst Center Templates help IT teams make network operations easier, safer, and more compliant — without relying on one‑off CLI changes.
This includes a hands‑on, real‑world session, not just a slide deck.
Why Templates? Because modern networks require:
✅ Consistent configurations across many sites
✅ Safe, repeatable changes
✅ Reduced risk from manual CLI work
✅ Better compliance and auditability"Catalyst Center provides the automation, and the templates are the foundation."
What we'll cover:
- Practical use cases
- Day-0 vs Day-N templates
- Prerequisites that matter
- How CatC leverages templates
- Live demo with BYO-Lab follow-along!
Who should attend?
- Anyone who works with Catalyst Center
- K-12, Higher-Ed, and local Government IT teams
- Engineers, Admins, Supervisors and Directors

MN Bytes and Brews & Barks - Wed. 5/27 @ Arbeiter Brewing *Bring Your Dogs!*
Arbeiter Brewing Company, 3038 Minnehaha Avenue Minneapolis, Minneapolis, MN, USJoin us with your DOG for a very special MN Bytes and Brews!
It will be an evening of casual conversation about working in technology AND celebrating our fur-fam. We don't have a panel of experts, but we have our four-pawed friends and some liquid social-lubricant!
Maybe you're a seasoned developer, a systems administrator, a network architect, or you run an animal rescue... this event is a great opportunity to meet and drink with like-minded individuals and learn from other industry professionals.
It will be a relaxed atmosphere, with not too much scheduled. Mostly we socialize over a variety of craft beers and shoot the breeze with others interested in technology careers and dog-care.
Whether you're looking to expand your skillset, make connections in the tech industry, or simply enjoy a fun evening with great company and candid canines, this event is the perfect blend of learning, networking and cute animals.
