New Training: Advanced Network Automation with Cisco and Python

In this 215-video, intermediate training, CBT Nuggets trainer John McGovern covers the knowledge network engineers need to incorporate Nornir’s inventory abstraction and concurrent task execution into your network CI/CD automation environment.

Watch this new Cisco training.

Technologies around continuous integration and delivery/deployment continue to improve, and make it all the more possible to build, test and merge code seamlessly. But at the same time, many of the tools and languages that are made to monitor, maintain and, ultimately, release code into the wild are so complicated and nuanced that learning the tools themselves is a harder task than just implementing and maintaining CI/CD practices in the first place.

The 31-part series covers topics such as advanced filtering, handling connections to devices, and inspecting complex structures.
