Bridge the gap between traditional networking and modern software engineering with the Cisco Certified DevNet Associate program at Cordoba Training Center. As the industry shifts toward Infrastructure as Code (IaC), the role of the network professional is evolving. It is no longer enough to simply configure hardware; you must now be able to automate, program, and integrate systems using software.
The DevNet Associate certification is designed for those who want to master the art of network automation. You will move beyond the CLI to explore the world of APIs, Python scripting, and DevOps workflows. This course provides a comprehensive foundation in developing and maintaining applications on Cisco platforms, ensuring you can streamline operations and improve efficiency through code. Whether you are a network engineer looking to add programming to your toolkit or a developer aiming to understand the underlying infrastructure, our DevNet training is your launchpad into the future of IT.
The 200-901 DEVASC curriculum at Cordoba Training Center focuses on the intersection of networking and software design through several core pillars:
1. Software Development & Design
- Modern Paradigms: Understand the software development lifecycle (SDLC), including Agile and Waterfall methodologies.
- Data Formats: Master the interpretation and usage of common data structures like JSON, XML, and YAML, which are essential for communicating with modern network devices.
2. Understanding & Using APIs
- RESTful Architecture: Deep dive into how REST APIs work. Learn to use HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and interpret response codes.
- Cisco Platforms: Gain hands-on experience interacting with Cisco-specific APIs, including Cisco DNA Center, Meraki, and SD-WAN.
3. Infrastructure & Automation
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Learn how to manage your network as if it were software. Explore tools like Ansible, Puppet, and Chef for automated configuration management.
- Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD): Understand how DevOps practices apply to networking to ensure faster, more reliable deployments.
4. Application Deployment & Security
- Containerization: Introduction to Docker and Linux fundamentals for deploying applications in modern, lightweight environments.
- Secure Coding: Learn the basics of application security, including how to protect API keys and implement secure authentication methods.
5. Network Fundamentals for Developers
- The Layered Approach: For those coming from a software background, we cover the essentials of the OSI model, IP connectivity, and common network protocols (HTTP, SSH, Telnet).
