In the “old” days, applications and infrastructure were designed and built by separate teams. But things have changed. Cloud infrastructure has emerged and beckons cloud applications into play. And just like that we’ve entered the world of DevOps, where new applications are being deployed with expec…

With only a few days before Cisco Live Australia and New Zealand kicks off, and still with a couple of open registration spots available, I want to invite the attendees of this event to sign up for the two workshops I will be running in Melbourne: DEVNET-2101:NXOS in the real world using NX-API REST…

CLI programming skills are still relevant in IOS XE, but adding a Linux container with Python natively embedded in release 16.5 takes programmable networks to the next level. With another Cisco Live fading in the rear-view mirror, I find myself reflecting on some of the really interesting events tha…

With Open IOS XE, Cisco is Changing the Game Old-school network engineers probably remember the Cisco 2500-series router.

As a consequence, we not only leverage standard tools for analysis, but we also focus our efforts on innovation, developing our own technology to overc…

You can now use Ansible for configuration management, deployment, and orchestration of Cisco UCS servers, storage, fabric, hyperconverged infrastructure and converged infrastructure as well as Nexus switches.…
