Join me as we design, implement, operate and troubleshoot a variety of automation solutions in a complex network. This scenario is straight out of my personal career and contains hard earned tips and tricks from production. You'll master the core principles of answerable based network automation, including unique challenges in automating networks versus other. IT systems the concept of infrastructure as code a wide variety of design options. Both CLI and API based a bit of python coding for answerable customization and bulletproofing your playbooks for production use. After completing this course, you'll be skilled in deploying and maintaining answerable in any type of network. Before beginning this course, I'd recommend the following prerequsites courses. Basic python coding skills will help you follow the answerable customize ations I teach. You'll need basic networking skills, and this CCN A course is a good choice. Mpls expertise is not required, but an introduction to Layer three VPNs provides additional context. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn about modern network management with this automating networks with danceable the right way course at Pluralsight
