Cisco Public April 2020 6 Emerging Technologies Workshops Overview Workshops Career Prep Emerging Technologies Workshops are short, hands-on experiences that expose you to the latest internet technologies. In each Workshop, you will learn new concepts, see how they work on real-world equipment, and quickly develop new skills for today’s job market. Gain emerging skills for Networking professionals and Software professionals interested in working in the networking domain. The first two workshops are developed in partnership with DevNet: • Network Programmability with Cisco APIC-EM • • Experimenting with REST APIs using Webex Teams • Model-Driven Programmability • Networker skillsets are evolving to meet the opportunity and demands of programmable networks Developers with networking knowledge expand their horizons into an entirely new domain Features Students are exposed to and use free real-world development tools and Communities of Practice (CoP) commonly used by Software professionals and increasingly by Network professionals: • • • • • Cisco DevNet CoP GitHub CoP Stack Overflow CoP Python programming language APIs, REST, JSON, Git, JSONView, Postman developer tools © 2020 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Cisco Confidential 9 Instructor Training: Required, self-paced option available Emerging Technologies Workshop Model-Driven Programmability Workshop Overview With the increasing size of the modern network and the frequency of changes required by the business, managing and automating networks via a Command Line Interface (CLI) is ineffective and error prone. A new approach, using Model Driven Programmability, enables transactional changes, by defining standardized device models and APIs. This workshop introduces students to device level programmability competencies, to automate configuration and management tasks using standardized YANG device models and using the RESTCONF and NETCONF device level APIs. Benefits Every networking student will benefit in grasping the importance of YANG, as language to “model” a networking device, combined with the robustness of the RESTCONF and NETCONF device level programmability APIs. Students will also experiment and develop Python scripts to manage networking devices at scale, using the Model Driven Programmability approach. Learning Outcomes • Use Python with combination of Understand the value, set-up and RESTCONF and NETCONF APIs to use of software concepts and tools relevant to network programmability retrieve and update the device's configuration (Python scripting, Git, JSON, Postman, APIs). • Understand the value of joining professional communities of • Describe a different approach to software-defined networking (SDN), practice to working in the network programmability domain.
