Programmability with the Meraki cloud has enabled countless solutions and opportunities. Much of our past focus has been on the “on-demand” REST API.. i.e Dashboard API. This is great when you want to automate at scale, run reports and get information as needed. But what happens when an unscheduled thing happens?? What happens when my app is calling the API regularly and normally getting the same info? Is that efficient? Don’t call us.. We’ll call you!

Meraki Webhooks - Don’t Call Us, We’ll Call You!

Join us in this session to learn why IT engineers are investing more time on APIs and not CLIs. We will present multiple use cases in which Meraki APIs created business values on top of the built network enabling IT to become a business partner of an organization.

The Dashboard API is the new CLI

Build or buy? As easy as it is to get started with Meraki APIs, sometimes we don’t have the time or knowledge to build entire solutions on our own. That’s where the Meraki ecosystems come into play. Automating dashboard changes? Computer Vision learning models for MV cameras? Analyzing visitors’ sentiment? Measuring waiting time in queues? Our ecosystem partners have already created solutions powered by Meraki APIs so you don’t have to. In this session we will introduce selected ecosystem solutions to address various challenges for IT and other lines of business.

Innovate with Meraki APIs and its Partner Marketplace

Do you want to take your network monitoring up a level? Combining the power of Meraki APIs with some open source tools, you can achieve what the art of the possible is.

Attendees will be introduced to the Location Scanning API, Webhook alerts and the External captive portal.

Meraki 101 - Introduction to Meraki Integrations

Traditional networking has evolved in recent years towards automated solutions. Infrastructure as code has emerged as a new way to manage network configurations using automation tools and frameworks.

One of these frameworks, Cisco pyATS, offers an even more modern approach towards infrastructure as code and network automation: test-driven automation. Test-driven automation combines elements of the popular test-driven development process, which encourages simple designs and inspires confidence in solutions, with Python-based infrastructure as code to create a revolutionary approach to network automation. The Cisco pyATS framework provides developers with the tools required to capture network state, push configurations, and easily test the resulting network state and configuration against intent.

In this webinar, we will be exploring pyATS, providing examples of test-driven automation, and answering your test-driven automation questions in a friendly, open environment

Test Driven Development with pyATS

It is very important for operators in any industry to have good visibility of their assets – either in outdoor or indoor spaces. For example, keeping an eye on their HVAC systems, networking closets, critical inventory, outdoor parking spaces, or even industrial assets on the shop floor. The new Meraki MT sensors, Meraki MV cameras, and Cisco Industrial Asset vision IoT sensor solution allow you to track those assets, get data for your decision making and create actionable notifications. See in this webinar how we integrated these solutions in our Cisco office in Frankfurt and how easy you can process the asset data and integrate it.

Terraform from HashiCorp is becoming a popular tool in cloud and DevOps circles, due to its declarative nature, simple syntax, and portable nature. This presentation will provide an introduction to Terraform and its configuration language (HashiCorp Configuration Language, HCL), the advantages to its use, and how to use the ACI Terraform provider to apply the configuration to a fabric. Additionally, this presentation will cover some resources available through DevNet to assist you in your Terraform journey.

Introduction to Terraform and ACI

Today’s applications are dynamic, using virtualization, containerization, microservices, and workload mobility technologies, with communication patterns between application components constantly changing. The Cisco Secure Workload platform is designed to fully address these challenges, using comprehensive traffic telemetry data collected from the workloads. The platform performs advanced analytics using an algorithmic approach and provides comprehensive workload protection for a multi-cloud data center. This algorithmic approach includes unsupervised machine-learning techniques and behavioral analysis. Based on this, Cisco Secure Workload can automatically generate a micro-segmentation policy based on application behavior and including any existing security policy mandated by business requirements. On top of that, it can consistently enforce this segmentation policy across a multi-cloud infrastructure to minimize lateral movement.

In the webinar, you will learn all about this and also learn how to put it into practice using the open APIs. In the end, you will be referenced to a full training that learns you how to do it yourself!

Protecting your Cloud-Native Applications with Cisco Secure Workload

GitOps and CI/CD provide significant benefits to a Kubernetes environment from an immutable audit trail to pre-deployment testing.

However, Kubernetes, initially, did not make use of a GitOps model but instead provides its own deployment path using writes to the Kubernetes API. There are a lot of Kubernetes users who are comfortable with the native Kubernetes API and the related CLI tool ‘kubectl’. Due to the way the Kubernetes API is designed, it is possible to use a GitOps CI/CD chain, or a kubctl API call to make a modification to your Kubernetes cluster, but you can’t do both. The current tooling makes a kubectl call incompatible with GitOps.

In this talk, we’ll cover the pros and cons of each model, and why they don’t play so well together. We also will discuss some options we are considering on how to harmonize both paths, and, if the code is ready in time, maybe even have a demo to show.

The Benefits of a GitOps Model for a Cloud-Native Environment
