Explore Cisco IOS XE Automation at Cisco Live in Melbourne

Ready to dive deeper into Cisco IOS-XE programmability, automation, and telemetry? Then join us at Cisco Live APJC in Melbourne December 5 – 8, 2023!

These sessions cover topics ranging from getting started with Cisco IOS XE programmability and automation, tooling with YANG Suite and Terraform, and gaining hands-on experience with open source solutions for Model Driven Telemetry. See the details of the upcoming Cisco Live sessions below:

Breakout Sessions

Catalyst 9000 Virtual topology simulation and configuration management solutions [DEVNET-2525]
Cisco Modelling Labs, Container Lab, KVM and Dockers… oh my! The way in which we can model networks and create infrastructure from code is evolving. In this session we will use virtualization technologies like CML and Docker in order to virtualize and simulate common network topologies and configurations. We will gain confidence in configuration management processes and tooling in the simulated lab and make the transition into production easier. The complete IOS XE programmability and automation lifecycle will be demonstrated and discussed using the virtual form factor alongside YANG Suite for testing and validation.

How to Become a Cisco IOS XE Terraform Expert [DEVNET-2476]
Infrastructure as Code (IAC) allows us to automate provisioning and management of Cisco Catalyst 9000 devices more efficiently. In this session, automation tooling will be used to programmatically deploy BGP EVPN network fabric. Infrastructure as Code concepts will be demonstrated on the Catalyst 9000 using Terraform. Both enterprise campus and cloud-native use cases and examples will be shared. You’ll leave this session with ideas to help you get started with Infrastructure as Code, understand benefits of IAC, and understand more about the Terraform tooling. With IAC and Cisco IOS XE, you can automate any tooling on any interface.

Hands-on with Programmability, Automation Model Driven Telemetry on Cisco IOS XE with a dash of YANG Suite [DEVWKS-1487]
This programmability and automation session on Cisco IOS XE and Catalyst includes an overview of the YANG based API’s and the associated YANG Suite tooling will be used extensively. The Model Driven Telemetry capabilities will also be discussed and the example Docker container for collection and visualization will be demonstrated. As well as ways to create new telemetry subscriptions using the Telegraf, Influx and Grafana stack and YANG Suite.

How to Become a Cisco IOS XE Terraform Expert – Hands on! [DEVWKS-2461]
Infrastructure as Code (IAC) allows us to automate provisioning and management of Cisco Catalyst 9000 devices more efficiently. In this session, automation tooling will be used to programmatically deploy BGP EVPN network fabric. Infrastructure as Code concepts will be demonstrated on the Catalyst 9000 using Terraform.
