Cisco's NSO (Network Service Orchestrator) is a powerful carrier grade orchestration tool. If you're considering implementing NSO, you need to know how it works and how it's different from other orchestration tools. This training is a great way to understand NSO's value, how you should use it and what's it like to operate NSO.
