Automation shapes the operation of modern data centers and is changing the way networks are planned, deployed, and controlled. In the Cisco data center environment, the focus is on programmable structures, clear standards, and repeatable processes.

Key topics

  • Automation approaches in the Cisco data center.
  • Programmability of network environments.
  • Use of APIs, controllers, and automation tools.
  • Model-based configuration and orchestration.
  • Integration of network operations and DevOps principles.

Prerequisite
Solid knowledge of classic network technologies and practical experience with Cisco Data Center solutions. A basic understanding of scripting and automation is recommended.

Target audience
Network administrators, data center engineers, architects, and technical specialists responsible for operations, automation, and infrastructure design.

Automated infrastructures increase efficiency, consistency, and operational reliability. The expertise acquired supports the structured implementation of modern network architectures and sustainable operating models.
