Description

Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Core Platforms (DEVASC) is a 5-day course which helps students prepare for Cisco® DevNet Associate certification and for associate-level network automation engineer roles. Students will learn how to implement basic network applications using Cisco platforms as a base, and how to implement automation workflows across network, security, collaboration, and computing infrastructure. The course gives you hands-on experience solving real world problems using Cisco Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and modern development tools.

Course Objectives:

Upon completing this course, the learner will be able to meet these overall objectives:

Describe the importance of APIs and use of version control tools in modern software development
Describe common processes and practices used in software development
Describe options for organizing and constructing modular software
Describe HTTP concepts and how they apply to network-based APIs
Apply Representational State Transfer (REST) concepts to integration with HTTP-based APIs
Describe Cisco platforms and their capabilities
Describe programmability features of different Cisco platforms
Describe basic networking concepts and interpret simple network topology
Describe interaction of applications with the network and tools used for troubleshooting issues
Apply concepts of model-driven programmability to automate common tasks with Python scripts
Identify common application deployment models and components in the development pipeline
Describe common security concerns and types of tests, and utilize containerization for local development
Utilize tools to automate infrastructure through scripting and model-driven programmability
