Recording: API/DevOps Live - May 2026

Thank you to everyone who joined our recent API/DevOps Live.

If you’re looking to move from manual network/security operations to scalable, automated workflows, this session walks through exactly how to do that using Cato’s DevOps toolkit.

What we covered

• How to apply DevOps principles to your Cato environment
• Using the CLI for day-to-day operations and bulk changes
• Leveraging Terraform for infrastructure as code (including brownfield environments)
• Going deeper with the SDK for custom automation and integrations
• How these layers connect: SDK → CLI → Terraform → AI-assisted workflows

Key highlights

• Real-world examples of bulk config changes (DHCP, WAN priority, rules)
• How to export operational data like degraded sites
• A practical look at a “day in the life” of an operator
• Demo of AI-assisted workflows with built-in security guardrails (including blocking sensitive data like API keys)

Questions we addressed

• What should I be automating first?
• How do I handle existing (brownfield) environments with Terraform?
• When should I use CLI vs Terraform vs SDK?
• How can I safely use AI tools in a DevOps workflow?
