DevOps Tools on ACI

In this course, you will learn how to use DevOps tools for a common datacenter integration scenario. You will practice using the most popular tools on a Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) for classical data center integration. While configuring the ACI fabric, you will have the opportunity to use and compare DevOps tools. Hands-on labs will teach you how to use Puppet, Postman, and Python to create, modify, and upload scripts. You will use GitHub to download existing scripts and back up scripts that you create in order to help you quickly perform configuration tasks. You will also learn to use Visore and API inspector to troubleshoot. By the end of this course, you should be able to prepare a switch fabric for your data center integration.
