Implementing Automation for Cisco Data Center Solutions 1.1

Course Description

You may learn how to implement Cisco® Data Center automated solutions, including programming ideas, orchestration, and automation tools, from the Implementing Automation for Cisco Data Center Solutions (DCAUI) v1.1 course. You will handle the devices and discover the advantages of programmability and automation in the Cisco-powered Data Center through classes and practical experience. You will look at Cisco's Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI®), Software-Defined Networking (SDN) for data centres and cloud networks, Cisco Nexus® (Cisco NX-OS) platforms for automation focused on devices, and Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS®) for data centre computingAlong with open industry standards, tools, and APIs like Python, Ansible, Git, JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF), Representational State Transfer Configuration Protocol (RESTCONF), and Yet Another Generation, you will research their current ecosystem of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), software development toolkits, and pertinent workflows (YANG).
