What you’ll learn

The training program on Implementing Automation for Cisco Service Provider Solutions (SPAUI) equips participants with the skills to implement and support automation solutions within a Service Provider network infrastructure. This involves leveraging network programmability principles, protocols, tools, and mechanisms. The curriculum, comprising both theoretical lessons and hands-on labs, guides learners in deploying, configuring, monitoring, and operating Service Provider network environments using modern data models. These data models enable the representation of operational data and implementation of new network management protocols, enabling the administration of numerous devices in a single operation. This replaces the conventional, time-consuming, and error-prone device-by-device Command Line Interface (CLI) management. The training also introduces efficient automation solutions to streamline network operations.

Key topics covered include Yet Another Next Generation (YANG) data models and validation tools, Representational State Transfer Configuration Protocol (RESTCONF) and Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) management protocols, model-driven telemetry using Google Remote Procedure Call (gRPC) and Google Network Management Interface (gNMI), traffic automation with XR Transport Control (XTC), Secure Shell (SSH)-based automation tools such as NetMiko and Ansible, orchestration through Network Services Orchestration (NSO), Network Function Virtualization (NFV) lifecycle management with Elastic Services Controller (ESC), and network operations automation using WAN Automation Engine (WAE). Successful completion of this training prepares individuals for the 300-535 Automating and Programming Cisco® Service Provider Solutions (SPAUTO) exam.

It’s essential to note that completion of the Introducing Automation for Cisco Solutions (CSAU) training is a prerequisite for enrolling in Implementing Automation for Cisco Service Provider Solutions (SPAUI). This foundational course provides crucial knowledge necessary for success. Additionally, participants earn 24 Continuing Education (CE) credits, contributing towards recertification.

What to expect in the exam

The 300-535 SPAUTO exam certifies your knowledge and skills related to implementing service provider automated solutions, including programming concepts, orchestration, programming OS, and automation tools.

After you pass 300-535 SPAUTO, you earn the Cisco Certified DevNet Specialist – Service Provider Automation and Programmability certification, and you satisfy the concentration exam requirement for these professional-level certifications:
