## AI overview

The author recommends a deep dive on using GitHub Codespaces for network engineering and education. They briefly describe setting up netlab in a container for Codespaces-based BGP and IS-IS labs and examples, while directing readers to the deep dive for behind-the-scenes details.

## Source excerpt

When I discovered GitHub Codespaces (thanks to a pointer by Roman Dodin), I did the absolute minimum of research to get netlab up and running in a container to enable Codespaces-based labs (BGP, IS-IS) and netlab examples. However, if you want to know the behind-the-scenes details, you MUST read the Codespaces for Network Engineers and Educators deep dive by Julio Perez.
