The Cisco Network Services Orchestrator (NSO) Advance Python Programmers (NSO300) v4.0 course continues the learning journey of the NSO Essentials for Programmers and Network Architects (NSO201) v4.0 course with NSO to include customizing templates with Python programming, Docker deployment, and Nano services. You will learn to create advanced services using the NSO application framework and Python scripting with both new and existing Layer 3 Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) VPN services. You will also learn how to manage and scale these services to reduce operation consumption, and increase both security and available physical space, since virtualized network functions (VNFs) replace physical hardware. You will use Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) orchestration features, and Cisco Elastic Services Controller (ESC) to manage virtualized network functions.

This course will help you:

• Tailor a Cisco Network Services Orchestrator solution for your organization
• Manage virtualized network functions (VNFs) automated, efficient, and dynamic network functioning

• Discovering the NSO Application Framework
• Deploying NSO in Docker Containers
• Developing Python and Template-Based Service
• Integrating Service Lifecycle
• Developing a Layer 3 MPLS VPN Service for New Service Deployment
• Developing Nano Services
• Developing Layer 3 MPLS VPN Service for Existing Deployment
• Introducing Managed Services
• Implementing Stacked Services
• Scaling Service Orchestration
• Discovering the ETSI MANO Framework
• Managing VNF Lifecycle with Cisco ESC
• Orchestrating NFV

You will receive the original course documentation from Cisco in English language as a Cisco E-Book. In the Cisco Digital Learning Version, the content of the courseware is integrated into the learning interface instead.

Before you take this course, we recommend that you have the knowledge and skills obtainable by attending the NSO Essentials for Programmers and Network Architects (NSO201) class, plus have knowledge in the following areas:

• Basic knowledge of the command line of UNIX-like operating systems
• Basic knowledge of Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF)
• Basic knowledge of Yet Another Next Generation (YANG) data modelling
• Basic knowledge of Python software development

This course will help you tailor a Cisco Network Services Orchestrator solution for your organization and manage virtualized network functions (VNFs) in an automated, efficient, and dynamic manner.
