Network Automation in the Data Center (NA-DC)

 

Course Overview

This three-day course is designed to provide students with the knowledge required to automate SDN/NFV solutions in their data centers. Students will build on their knowledge of data center networking and learn how to use Ansible to automate building scalable IP fabrics. Students will also augment their knowledge of different L2 and L3 protocols to automate data center services that use virtual machines, containers, and bare metal servers using Contrail Cloud. This course is based on Contrail Release 3.2.0 and OpenStack Liberty.

Who should attend

This course benefits individuals responsible for working with software-defined networking solutions in their data center.

Prerequisites
