Lecture and Hands-on Labs
Overview
Cloud networking has become code. Learn how to build a network from the ground up using open source software. You will learn the essential components that will allow you build, test, and troubleshoot any cloud network. Once you understand the fundamental networking components, you can eliminate vendor lock-in and deploy your own high performance, secure network, all from code. You develop the skills and knowledge needed to build a network from SD-LAN to SD-WAN by performing real hands on examples that just work.
Build, configure, and deploy the most popular SDN, NFV, and SD-WAN technologies to create networks, control routing and bridging, and secure applications. Integrate these components with external nets, even the internet, and perform verification testing.
