CCNP Data Center DCAUI – Implementing Automation for Cisco Data Center Solutions

The DCAUI Implementing Automation for Cisco Data Center Solutions course is part of the Cisco CCNP Data Center and DevNet Professional track . This course provides the participant with in-depth knowledge of modern automated management methodologies for Cisco solutions in the Data Center (Cisco-Powered Data Center) context. Technologies and topics will be addressed including: Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI®), Software-Defined Networking (SDN) for data center and cloud networks, Cisco Nexus® (Cisco NX-OS) platforms for device-centric automation, and Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS®) for Data Center compute. Software development toolkits, open tools and APIs approaches will be used such as Python, Ansible, Git, JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), Yaml Ain't Markup Language (YAML), Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF), Representational State Transfer Configuration Protocol (RESTCONF), and Yet Another Generation (YANG) and more. The course contributes to the preparation of the CCNP Data Center Certification exam (Exam 300-635) .
