Look Who Is Taking Over the DevNet Zone at CLEUR!

Cisco Live Europe opens next week in Barcelona, and as always the DevNet Zone has an awesome agenda of hands-on workshops, speaker sessions, and more ready for attendees. In addition, this year we will have FIVE “DevNet Zone Takeovers” – sessions during which you can focus in on a specific Cisco technology, see demos, and get your questions answered by experts from the product business units.

Each “Takeover” begin with a 45-minute introductory session to familiarize yourself with the foundational aspects of the technology and learn a bit about associated DevNet Certifications. Then, stay for a special takeover hour with giveaways, light snacks, and the chance to win a backpack full of goodies from the Backpack Challenge. So, hold on tight and bookmark these sessions in your Cisco Live schedule.

Cisco UCS started with a simple premise, “Completely Programmable Compute Infrastructure” with an API First methodology. The core of the Cisco UCS API is an Object Model that encompasses every programmable aspect of Cisco UCS. Python and PowerShell SDKs along with Ansible and Terraform modules have been created to enhance developer capabilities. Cisco Intersight, the SaaS platform that enables Cisco UCS and HX management globally from the Cloud with a modern REST API built on the OpenAPI specification sets a new standard for compute infrastructure management. This session will cover how to get started using the Cisco UCS XML API and the Cisco Intersight REST API with examples from each of the most popular developer tools.

Wednesday, January 29 | 11:00 AM – 11:45 AM
