We help developers deliver more secure, better performing software by providing forward-thinking actionable insights into their applications and environments – wherever they choose to build. Visit us online at developer.cisco.com.

In this hands-on workshop we will utilize the Sastre SDK and Ansible modules. Learn the Sastre SDK following the instructor using a Jupyter notebook to build and test your python code. Practice using Sastre Ansible modules and playbooks to backup, restore and deploy your Day-1 Cisco SD-WAN (Viptela).

Hands-on using Sastre automation toolset and Day-1 use case

In this webinar we will focus on Cisco SD-WAN automation, with a webinar introducing you to Sastre - the Cisco SD-WAN automation GitHub repository. You'll learn how to use this toolset to automate Day 1 and Day 2 processes and gain a deeper understanding of Infrastructure-as-Code and DevOps concepts.

Introduction to Sastre

We hosting an online workshop where you'll get to practice hands-on with Day 2 use cases and use the SD-WAN Programmability APIs to explore monitoring, statistics, alarms, troubleshooting and developing custom dashboards using mongodb.

Hands-on Day-2 automation use cases

In this webinar we'll dive into Cisco SD-WAN use cases, with a webinar on Day 0 scenarios. You'll learn how to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot SD-WAN networks, and gain a deeper understanding of the role automation plays in these processes.

Provisioning SD-WAN controllers and branch devices in public clouds

This hands-on workshop session will introduce the audience to the Cisco SD-WAN REST API documentation, the OpenAPI specification for Cisco SD-WAN and to Postman, a popular API platform used for developing and testing APIs. We will use the Cisco SD-WAN Always on sandbox as our test environment and will perform simple API calls to become more familiar with Cisco SD-WAN and REST API interfaces in general. 

 

Note: Please have Postman (https://www.getpostman.com) pre-installed on your computer if you want to follow along with the instructor.

Hands-on navigating SD-WAN API documentation with sample queries

In this webinar we will have a look at what REST APIs are and how they can be used to interact programmatically with Cisco SD-WAN. We will also briefly cover Cisco SD-WAN, how the WAN has evolved to Software Defined WAN, what are the components and benefits of a Cisco SD-WAN fabric and how to use the vManage REST API interface to configure, manage and monitor your own fabrics.

Cisco SD-WAN REST APIs Basics

The IOS XE Switching TME team is producing a series of white papers on device programmability & automation. Join us for a demo-heavy presentation following the release of their first paper. We will cover the Day 0-N lifecycle using the whole alphabet from EEM to ZTP, NETCONF, RESTCONF, YANG, gNMI, gRPC and more. We will explain through demos the programmable feature set and answer your questions.

Cisco IOS XE device programmability and automation

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.

In this session, I would like to show real use cases of how to integrate Meraki APIs with other tools to extract valuable data for monitoring purposes. Integration with platforms such as Kibana, Google sheets, ServiceNow and more will be covered in this session.

Reserve your spot now for this free webinar and be ready with your questions!

Monitoring at Scale with Meraki APIs

This session will introduce the Meraki platform and its integration points. We will look at the three basic ways a developer can integrate with the Meraki platform while covering the Meraki Dashboard APIs in depth. 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.

On this webinar, you will learn more about the "SecureX Serverless Relay". You will also learn about the brand new DevNet Learning Track, which teaches you how to create custom integrations with SecureX. The SecureX serverless relay is used to integrate 3rd party systems into SecureX. The serverless relay allows SecureX Threat Response to observe, deliberate, refer, and respond to observables from 3rd party solutions. The serverless relay can be deployed anywhere, on the application, bare metal server, VM, or in the cloud, such as AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, or Google Cloud Functions. For this DevNet Learning Lab, you will deploy the Serverless Relay Module in AWS.

Cisco Secure Endpoint (formerly known as AMP (Advanced Malware Protection) for Endpoints) has a powerful REST API to enable your security automation use cases. In this webinar we will do a quick introduction to AMP and AMP APIs, we will also explore some simple tasks you can think about for automation of your endpoints security workflows. We will explore automation using APIs for AMP for Endpoints event logs, audit logs, user activity, computer activities, etc. You will learn about simple scripting using Python/Postman. All of the used demos will be available via GitHub at the end of the presentation.

Automating with Cisco Secure Endpoint

Meraki, Cisco’s fully cloud managed network infrastructure, fits a variety of use cases from small business to enterprise networks. Backed by a robust API, Meraki is easily integrated with other platforms to create multi-functional solutions. In this session, we will review the implementation of the Meraki APIs into Cisco Action Orchestrator to provision a branch site and its devices via API as part of a multi-domain solution.
