Cisco NSO Administration and DevOps

Cisco Platinum Learning Partner Logo

The Cisco Network Services Orchestrator (NSO) Administration and DevOps (NSO303) course continues the learning journey of the NSO Essentials for Programmers and Network Architects (NSO201) and NSO Advanced for Python Programmers (NSO300) courses by introducing you to system administration and DevOps with a focus on NSO; the robust solution that combines network automation and orchestration tools, exploring the functions of development, operations, and management tasks. You will learn how to set up, configure, deploy, and maintain a Cisco Network Services Orchestrator solution and learn best practices for deploying DevOps. The examples shown in this course demonstrate real-world scenarios to prepare you to deploy and manage new or existing NSO instances. The course guides you through setting up a production-ready NSO instance using a system installation with access control, deploying NSO in Docker containers, and introduces modern DevOps concepts and tools such as Git and Continuous Delivery/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD). You will learn how to migrate CDM devices, how to create NETCONF NEDs via the NSO CLI, how to handle NSO alerts, and many more features that will benefit you on your journey with Cisco NSO.
