What Is SPAUTO?

SPAUTO (Automating Cisco Service Provider Solutions – 300-535) is a Cisco certification exam that validates your ability to implement automation and programmability in service provider networks. 

Unlike traditional routing certifications, SPAUTO goes beyond manual CLI configuration and focuses on: 

  • Automating SP network operations 
  • Working with APIs and model-driven interfaces 
  • Using Python and automation tools to manage large-scale networks

The SPAUTO exam also serves as a concentration exam for CCNP Service Provider and helps you earn the Cisco Certified DevNet Specialist – Service Provider Automation credential. 

Key Takeaways from the SPAUTO Course

  • Learn how automation is actually used in service provider networks 
  • Gain hands-on experience with Python, APIs, and YANG models 
  • Understand how to manage large-scale SP environments programmatically 
  • Build skills required for the SPAUTO (300-535) certification exam 
  • Prepare for automation-focused roles in telecom and ISP networks
