Programmability and Automation Meetup Group
The Programmability and Automation Meetup Group focuses on programmability, automation, and Infrastructure as Code using both Open Source tools and vendor-specific solutions. All skill levels are welcome. We will cover many topics from various technologies and provide hands-on lab opportunities.
Network Service Management and Orchestration
Managing and automating services across networks and infrastructure to scale.
Infrastructure Automation Briefing
Infrastructure Automation is the cornerstone that allows IT to provide consumable infrastructure for development and application teams inside your organization. Automation is also key to reducing toil and having engineering and operations teams focus on important work and driving your business into the future. However, for many, getting started with Automation can seem like a daunting task, and prioritizing where to start can be a difficult decision.
Network Service Orchestrator (NSO) Lab: Creating a Basic Service Model
This is the follow on to the NSO Fundamental Lab. In this lab, you will create a basic service model (template-based) from scratch. You will apply a simple "bottom up" method to capture a manually created service, parse its components into XML and YANG, then build and test the service model.
Network Service Orchestrator Lab (NSO)
The Cisco Network Service Orchestrator (NSO), formerly known as Tail-F, is a powerful service orchestration engine. Service Providers use it to deliver and manage services across their networks. However, many enterprises have adopted NSO for large-scale operations tasks and their own service management needs. This lab environment is used to support WWT's NSO workshop and training content. You can also use it for general NSO learning and experimenting with NSO service models.
Mid-Market Service Provider Automation Alternatives and Strategy Briefing
Mid-market service providers are faced with numerous operations challenges every day. Network rollout, new services and ever-tightening budgets are driving operators to find new solutions, particularly in the area of automation. But service automation and IT automation can be very different matters. Tools that work for data center rollouts may not work for deploying and managing new customer services. Operations managers, network planners and solution architects are asking: what tools are best for service automation, can we automate without a costly consulting project, how would automation affect my operation, could we support it, how can we get beyond CLI-based operations, and what are other mid-market service providers doing?
What Is "Model-Driven" Orchestration -- And Why Would I Use It?
Learn the difference between "model-driven" orchestration and other methods, and when to apply it.
