Designing and Implementing Cisco Network Programmability (NPDESI) v1.0

Transcription

1 Data Sheet Learning Services Designing and Implementing Cisco Network Programmability (NPDESI) v1.0 Overview The Designing and Implementing Cisco Network Programmability (NPDESI) version 1.0 Cisco Training on Demand course addresses the evolving role of network engineers toward more programmability, automation, and orchestration, enabling you to leverage the powerful level of abstraction provided by controller-based architectures to create real added value. You learn how to minimize the number of manual interactions with the network, and increase the use of scripts and automation tools to reduce operational inefficiencies. The course teaches you how to review network programmability fundamentals, including Linux and Python, common automation protocols such as Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) and representational state transfer (REST), and explains how they relate to YANG data models. The course also enables you to understand software-defined networking (SDN) controllers, including Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC ), APIC Enterprise Module (APIC-EM), and Open SDN Controller (OSC), as well as how to use device-level APIs such as Cisco NX-OS, Cisco IOS XE, Cisco IOS XR, and ASA OS. Finally, it introduces you to DevOps and Agile software development methodologies, and helps you get started using automation tools such as Ansible, Chef, and Puppet. Duration The NPDESI v1.0 Training on Demand course is a self-paced course based on the 5-day instructor-led training version. It consists of 26 sections of consumable segments via instructor video and text totaling more than 9 hours of instruction along with interactive activities, 43 hands-on lab exercises, content review questions, and challenge questions Cisco and/or its affiliates.
