The Implementing Cisco Crosswork Network Controller (SPCNCI) v1.0 course
introduces you to the Cisco© Crosswork Network Controller (CNC) and its
installation. Through a series of lectures and labs you will learn to use Cisco
CNC to streamline, manage, and automate service lifecycle functions spanning
across service provisioning, visualization, monitoring, and optimization. You
will also get an overview of Cisco CNC as an IP transport network controller
platform, of its components, and of its utility in various use-cases such as
boosting operational agility, improving intent-based service delivery, and
reducing the cost of operations.This course will also teach you about creating
custom service definitions, tactical traffic engineering policies, automated
provisioning of services, and real-time traffic optimization. Additionally, you
will learn about implementing closed loop automation workflows for remediation,
optimization, and maintenance. Finally, this course will teach you to understand
APIs to help interface with other systems, as well as best practices, including
sizing guidelines across components of the CNC meant to meet scalability and
high-availability requirements.
