Introducing Automation for Cisco Solutions

Introducing Automation for Cisco SolutionsCSAUCICiscoCI-CSAU1.2After taking this course, you should be able to: <ul> <li>Articulate the role network automation and programmability play in the context of end-to-end network management and operations</li><li>Define and differentiate between waterfall and agile software development methodologies</li><li>Interpret and troubleshoot Python scripts with fundamental programming constructs built for network automation use cases</li><li>Describe how DevOps principles, tools, and pipelines can be applied to network operations</li><li>Understand the role of network automation development environments and associated technologies such as Python virtual environments, Vagrant, and Docker</li><li>Understand and construct HTTP-based application programming interface (API) calls to network devices</li><li>Articulate the differences among and common use cases for XML, JSON, YAML, and protocol buffer (protobuf)</li><li>Construct and interpret Python scripts using the Python requests module to automate devices that have HTTP-based APIs</li><li>Understand the role YANG plays in network automation</li><li>Understand that several tools exist to simplify working with YANG models</li><li>Describe the functionality of RESTCONF and NETCONF and the differences between them</li><li>Construct Ansible playbooks to configure network devices and retrieve operational state data from them</li><li>Build Jinja2 templates and YAML data structures to generate desired state configurations</li></ul>There are no formal prerequisites for this training. However, the knowledge and skills you are recommended to have before attending this training are: <ul> <li>Routing and switching including open shortest path first (OSPF), border gateway protocol (BGP), and basic configuration features such as interfaces, simple network management protocol (SNMP), and static routes</li><li>Fundamentals of Python data structures and programming constructs, such as loops, conditionals, and classes, or the equivalent of 3–6 months of experience writing Python scripts</li><li>Basic Linux commands for navigating the file system and executing scripts</li><li>Knowledge of working with text editors</li></ul>The following recommended Cisco offering may help you meet these prerequisites: <ul> <li><a class="fl-href-prod" href="/ibb/en/course/cisco-ccna"><svg role="img" aria-hidden="true" focusable="false" data-nosnippet class="cms-linkmark"><use xlink:href="/css/img/icnset-linkmarks.svg#linkmark"></use></svg>Implementing and Administering Cisco Solutions (CCNA) v2.2</a></li></ul>This course is designed primarily for customer engineers and systems engineers in the following job roles: <ul> <li>Automation Architects</li><li>Automation Engineers</li><li>Consulting Systems Engineers</li><li>DevOps Engineers</li><li>Network Administrators</li><li>Network Architects</li><li>Network Consulting Engineers</li><li>Network Design Engineers</li><li>Network Engineers</li><li>Network Operators</li><li>Network Reliability Engineers</li><li>Sales Engineers</li><li>Site Reliability Engineers</li><li>Systems Engineers</li><li>Technical Solutions Architects</li><li>Application Developers</li><li>Collaboration Developers</li><li>Collaboration Solutions Architects</li><li>IT Directors</li><li>Mobile Developers</li><li>Network Operations Center (NOC) Managers</li><li>Software Architects</li><li>Web Developers</li></ul><ul> <li>Examining Network Management and Operations</li><li>Exploring Software Development Methodologies</li><li>Using Python for Network Automation</li><li>Describing NetDevOps: DevOps for Networking</li><li>Managing Automation Development Environments</li><li>Introducing HTTP Network APIs</li><li>Reviewing Data Formats and Data Encoding</li><li>Using Python Requests to Automate HTTP-Based APIs</li><li>Exploring YANG</li><li>Using YANG Tools</li><li>Automating Model-Driven APIs with Python</li><li>Introducing Ansible for Network Automation</li><li>Templating Configurations with Jinja2</li></ul>After taking this course, you should be able to: - Articulate the role network automation and programmability play in the context of end-to-end network management and operations - Define and differentiate between waterfall and agile software development methodologies - Interpret and troubleshoot Python scripts with fundamental programming constructs built for network automation use cases - Describe how DevOps principles, tools, and pipelines can be applied to network operations - Understand the role of network automation development environments and associated technologies such as Python virtual environments, Vagrant, and Docker - Understand and construct HTTP-based application programming interface (API) calls to network devices - Articulate the differences among and common use cases for XML, JSON, YAML, and protocol buffer (protobuf) - Construct and interpret Python scripts using the Python requests module to automate devices that have HTTP-based APIs - Understand the role YANG plays in network automation - Understand that several tools exist to simplify working with YANG models - Describe the functionality of RESTCONF and NETCONF and the differences between them - Construct Ansible playbooks to configure network devices and retrieve operational state data from them - Build Jinja2 templates and YAML data structures to generate desired state configurationsThere are no formal prerequisites for this training.
