DEVASC - Developing Applications and Automating Workflows using Cisco Platforms

Introdução

The Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) v1.0 course helps you prepare for Cisco® DevNet Associate certification and for associate-level network automation engineer roles. You will learn how to implement basic network applications using Cisco platforms as a base, and how to implement automation workflows across network, security, collaboration, and computing infrastructure. The course gives you hands-on experience solving real world problems using Cisco Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and modern development tools.

This course helps you prepare to take the 200-901 DevNet Associate (DEVASC) exam. By passing this exam, you earn Cisco Certified DevNet Associate certification.

This course will help you:
• Take advantage of the network when you implement applications to fulfill business needs;
• Gain a foundation in the essentials of applications, automation, and Cisco platforms;
• Prepare for the 200-901 DEVASC exam, which earns Cisco Certified DevNet Associate certification.

The 200-901 DEVASC exam certifies your knowledge of software development and design including understanding and using APIs, Cisco platforms and development, application development and security, and infrastructure and automation.

After you pass 200-901 DEVASC, you earn Cisco Certified DevNet Associate certification.
