What you’ll learn

The Implementing Automation for Cisco Data Center Solutions (DCAUI) training is designed to instruct individuals in the implementation of automated solutions for Cisco Data Centers, covering programming concepts, orchestration, and automation tools. Participants will gain hands-on experience managing tools, understanding the advantages of programmability, and exploring automation within Cisco-powered Data Centers. The course covers various topics, including Cisco ACI, SDN for data center and cloud networks, device-centric automation using Cisco NX-OS platforms, and Data Center compute with Cisco UCS. The training delves into the examination of APIs, software development toolkits, workflows, and industry standards such as Python, Ansible, Git, JSON, YAML, NETCONF, RESTCONF, and YANG.
Successful completion of this training qualifies individuals for the 300-635 Automating Cisco Data Center Solutions (DCAUTO) certification exam. It’s essential to have prior completion of the Introducing Automation for Cisco Solutions (CSAU) training as it provides foundational knowledge necessary for success in DCAUI. Additionally, participants earn 24 Continuing Education (CE) credits towards recertification.
