Course
Name: Implementing Automation for Cisco Enterprise Solutions (ENAUI) v1.0

Duration:
3 Days

What you’ll learn in this course:

The Implementing Automation for Cisco Enterprise Solutions (ENAUI)
v1.0 course teaches you how to integrate programmability and automation in the
Cisco®-powered Enterprise Campus and Wide Area Network (WAN) using programming
concepts, orchestration, telemetry, and automation tools to create more
efficient workflows and more agile networks. Through a combination of lessons
and hands-on labs, you will gain knowledge and skills for using Cisco
Internetworking Operating System (Cisco IOS®-XE) for device-centric automation,
Cisco Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA™) Center for the intent-based
enterprise network, Cisco Software-Defined (SD) WAN, and Cisco Meraki™. You
will study software development toolkits, industry-standard workflows, tools,
and Application Programming Interface (APIs), such as Python, Ansible, Git,
JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), YAML Ain’t Markup Language (YAML), Network
Configuration Protocol (NETCONF), Representational State Configuration Protocol
(RESTCONF), and Yet Another Generation (YANG).

How you’ll benefit:

This course will help you:

• Gain high-demand skills using modern programming languages, APIs,
  and systems such as Python, Ansible, and Git to automate, streamline, and
  enhance business operations
• Acquire the skills and knowledge to customize tools, methods, and
  processes that improve network performance and agility
• Prepare for the 300-435 ENAUTO exam
