DevNet: Infrastructure as Code

In the DevNet Associate course a lot of attention goes to "Infrastructure as Code", implying that we should stop to change configurations manually. Immutability and Idempotency are key terms. This videos explains the importance of making infrastructure changes indirectly.

Key Takeaways

Make changes indirectly and automatically
Use small composable modules
Validate the infrastructure works as expected
test entire deployments and not only units

DevNet: Terraform Intro & Practice Project

For NetAcad users who are familiar with the DevNet Associate course, here is an additional webinar focusing on Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and cloud provider AWS.

Topics:

• Preparation steps for Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Terraform
• Amazon Machine Images (AMI), AWS Console
• Terraform language, HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL)
• Terrafom actions: init, plan, apply, destroy
• Declaring resources, ip addressing, subnets, default gateway, security rules
• Installing Apache2

---

Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code software tool. Learn how it can be utilized to manage and automate your AWS cloud infrastructure. We'll start off by setting up a free AWS account to play around with and move on to setting up and installing Terraform on a Windows/MAC/Linux machine. From there we'll move on to deploying our first resource through terraform and learning other core concepts. You'll even get a chance to setup a simple web server in AWS.

DevNet: Effective Docker Images

In the DevNet Associate course students learn how to create and run Docker images and how to integrate them in to a pipeline. This video teaches the basics of effective Docker images.

Cisco IOS XE Programmability e-book

Cisco IOS XE Programmability e-book
Cisco IOS XE Programmability Automating Device Lifecycle Management

This book provides a summary of the general concepts of programmability supported by Cisco IOS XE. Many books on programmability assume the reader has a background in software development and understands fundamental concepts about how software is built. This book does not make these assumptions. Instead, it is primarily written for network engineers who are new to programmability and wish to understand the basic concepts be fore moving on to advanced topics. For engineers with some programmability experience, this book will summarize the specic capabilities of Cisco IOS XE.

Practical Introduction to DevOps Practices and Tools - DGTL-BRKCLD-1003

Click on image to enlarge

The new Devnet Associate Networking Academy Course and the Industrial Certification are very much related to DevOps, a set of norms and practices that enables the flow of work from development through operations. Here is very good introduction with demos that actually work, taken from CiscoLive. You need to login to CiscoLive to watch the presentation. Enroll for the Cisco NetAcad Europe North Instructor Training Campaign and select the DevASC instructor training.

Contents of the presentation

DevOps practices and tools help IT organizations deploy software releases quicker and with higher quality. We know that there is no magic solution that will prevent bugs from ever happening. However, the tighter alignment of the various groups within the IT organization (i.e. Development, QA, Operations, InfoSec), will get us as close as possible to ideal deployments. DevOps practices and tools will enable your organization to achieve that alignment. This talk will discuss high-level DevOps concepts as well as the tools that DevOps practitioners are using to achieve their goals like containers, Kubernetes, and CI/CD piplines. This session will include numerous demonstrations of DevOps technologies to provide context and real-life examples.

Christopher Jackson, Cisco Systems, Inc.

Introduction to Automating ACI with Ansible - DEVNET-1797 - CiscoLive

Ansible plays an important part in the new DevNet Associate Certification. This presentation from CiscoLive gives you a very clear and practical introduction. The presenter is Thomas Renzy, Cisco Systems, Inc
For viewing the training video registration is required

Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) is a Data Center Architecture with centralized programmability and policy driven capabilities. Ansible is a simple automation language that uses the concept of playbooks to automate configurations of ACI using modules designed for Ansible for configuration provisioning. In this session, we will introduce Ansible and concepts such as playbooks and modules. We will then look at demo of how Ansible can be used to automate ACI provisioning of Tenants as well as looking at deploying a three tier application. We finally will look at scaling ACI playbooks.
