Course Details
Course Description:
The DEVOPS-Implementing DevOps Solutions and Practices Using Cisco Platforms v1.0 course is a 5-day course that is designed to teach students how to automate application deployment, enable automated configuration, enhance management, and improve scalability of cloud microservices and infrastructure processes on Cisco platforms. Students will learn how to integrate Docker and Kubernetes to create advanced capabilities and flexibility in application deployment. The class prepares students for the 300-910 Implementing DevOps Solutions and Practices Using Cisco Platforms (DEVOPS) certification exam.
Topics covered in the course include:
- Describing the DevOps philosophy and practices, and how they apply to real-life challenges
- Explaining container-based architectures and available tooling provided by Docker
- Describing application packaging into containers and start building secure container images
- Utilizing container networking and deploy a three-tier network application
- Explaining the concepts of configuration item (CI) pipelines and what tooling is available
- Implementing a basic pipeline with Gitlab CI that builds and deploys applications
- Implementing automated build testing and validation
- Describing DevOps principles applied to infrastructure
- Implementing on-demand test environments and explain how to integrate them with an existing pipeline
- Implementing tooling for metric and log collection, analysis, and alerting
- Describing the benefits of application health monitoring, telemetry, and chaos engineering in the context of improving the stability and reliability of the ecosystem
- Describing how to implement secure DevOps workflows by safely handling sensitive data and validating applications
- Explaining design and operational concepts related to using a mix of public and private cloud deployments
- Describing modern application design and microservices architectures
- Describing the building blocks of Kubernetes and how to use its APIs to deploy an application
- Explaining advanced Kubernetes deployment patterns and implement an automated pipeline
- Explaining how monitoring, logging, and visibility concepts apply to Kubernetes
Students will learn how to integrate Docker and Kubernetes to create advanced capabilities and flexibility in application deployment. The class prepares students for the 300-910 Implementing DevOps Solutions and Practices Using Cisco Platforms (DEVOPS) certification exam.

The CSAU-Introducing Automation for Cisco Solutions v1.0 course is a 2-day course that is designed to provide students a broad overview of network automation skills on Cisco solutions. Via a combination of lecture and hands-on labs, students will learn the fundamentals of automation such as working on model-driven programmability solutions with Representational State Transfer Configuration Protocol (RESTCONF) and Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) protocols. Additionally, the course covers data formats and types, including Extensible Markup Language (XML), JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), Yaml Ain't Markup Language (YAML), and Yet Another Next Generation (YANG), and their value in network automation, along with DevOps tools such as Ansible and Git.
This course does not lead directly to a certification exam, but it does cover foundational knowledge that can help students prepare for several Cisco professional-level automation courses and exams.

Testimonials
This was the class I needed.
The instructor Jeff took his time and made sure we understood each topic before moving to the next. He answered all of our questions, and I don't know about the rest of the students, but was very pleased with this experience.
I finally understand how to use Excel.
