We live in a world with a rapidly evolving threat landscape, where adversaries are employing sophisticated techniques, exploiting the dynamic nature of IT infrastructure and launching asymmetrical attacks. Next week at Cisco Live there is a session in which you can learn how to leverage Cisco’s inte…

Cisco DevNet enables developers to use APIs to code and program their infrastructure, and that is quite powerful. Cisco ACI, with its pervasive DevNet presence, has been designed with programmability in mind and its object model allows complete programmatic access and enables customers to integrate…

Previous posts in the NetDevOps Series are available here. Let’s continue our review of the different foundational coding building blocks that network engineers need to understand and use when entering the programmability world. NETCONF and RESTCONF Now that we understand data models and data…

This blog is an interview with Joel W. King, Principal Architect at World Wide Technology, a Cisco Gold Certified Partner and Learning Partner. Joel’s contribution to the DevNet community was recognized at DevNet Create in Mountain View, CA in April 2019. In this interview, he shares with the DevNet…

As part of working at the info desk at the DevNet zone, another common question I get is: “How can I find (DevNet team member)?  I need to talk to them about (product name).” Sometimes you can get lucky and I happen to see them walk by, but most of the time you are not. Sorry, I might kn…

One of the questions that gets asked most often around NetDevOps is, “I love the concept of NetDevOps, but I’m not a software developer. I’ve been a network engineer for X years, and I don’t know how to code…where do I  start?” You can start with Python. It’s a great programming la…

300 DevNet Express events in 50 countries – thank you! Why is the fact that we’re offering the first ever DevNet Express for Meraki the weekend before Cisco Live in San Diego so exciting? Well… not only is a DevNet Express for Meraki something we’ve been asked for many, many times over the past few…

What distinguishes us as human? Complex cognitive abilities, of course. But beyond our intellectual prowess, the way humans change, adapt, evolve, and make use of tools is perhaps what sets our species apart more than anything else.1 As Network Engineers, we apply the network first principle – where…
