Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Modern networks require modern solutions. Those solutions should be implemented fast, scale well and, most importantly, work. Devices aren't configured anymore one by one. Network environments should be able to change on the fly as virtual machines and containers are spawned and destroyed in minutes, driven by demand or cost. All of this requires a new set of skills from network engineers and this course is the right step to acquire them. Along the way, you will get ready to pass Cisco DEVASC certification and industry-recognized achievement which will prove your ability to implement network applications and automation workflows using Cisco platforms.

This course is for everybody interested in passing Cisco's DEVASC 200-901 certification or broadening their Network Automation knowledge. You will no longer be scared by buzzwords like DevOps, API, Agile, and Microservices Architecture and you will also learn why Network Engineers and Developers aren't two separate species anymore.

 The course will start with a coverage of fundamentals and an explanation of some recommended learning techniques. After this, you will dive deep into the network automation concepts, in alignment with the Cisco DEVASC exam topics.

Practically it will be a combination of PowerPoint presentations, live demonstrations and hands-on exercises to make sure that you understand the theory and can apply it in practice using various tools and techniques

The course consists of many hands-on exercises spiced with some short explanations of the theory and concepts behind them.

The necessary resources for this course are in the "Resources" section of Video 1.1. You can also access them through this direct link - https://github.com/ec-council-learning/Cisco-DevNet-Associate-DEVASC-200-901
