Organisations are increasingly adopting automation to simplify data centre operations, improve consistency, and accelerate service delivery. We believe network automation is essential for modern data centre teams, enabling them to reduce manual effort, minimise configuration errors, and respond more quickly to changing business requirements.

This five-day instructor-led course equips learners with the knowledge and practical skills to automate Cisco data centre environments using industry-standard tools and technologies. You'll explore programmability concepts, automation frameworks, APIs, Infrastructure as Code, and model-driven programmability while developing practical skills that can be applied immediately within production environments.
