Course Overview

Are you a network engineer who already knows the basics (like CCNA-level) and curious about how modern networking really works? If so, this SD-WAN Automation course is for you.  In this course You will learn Cisco SD-WAN with hands-on work in Python, Ansible, and Terraform, focusing on automating network tasks with scripts and APIs instead of manually entering commands on each device. 

You won’t need to configure devices one by one anymore. You’ll learn how to automate tasks so that one change applies across many devices at once, making network management much more efficient. You’ll also learn how to troubleshoot these new, software-driven networks not just the old manual ones. By the end of the course, you’ll feel ready and confident to work in enterprise SD-WAN environments and tackle the automation projects modern companies expect network engineers to handle.

What is SD-WAN Automation?

SD-WAN Automation basically means managing networks using software and tools instead of doing everything manually. 

In older (traditional) networks, engineers usually log into each router one by one and configure everything using CLI, which takes a lot of time and effort. But in SD-WAN, things are much easier – you can control everything from one central place using controllers like vManage, and even use automation tools to handle repetitive tasks. 

So overall, instead of doing boring manual work again and again, SD-WAN automation helps you manage networks faster, smarter, and with less effort.
