Intent Based Networking with Juniper Apstra

We will demonstrate how Apstra can efficiently and effectively build a basic Multi-Site fabric during this lab. This orchestrator behaves much like Cisco NDFC or Arista CVP. The ultimate differentiator is that Apstra works well with all the major switch manufacturers.

This lab will enable a student to build a basic Multi-Site fabric using Apstra for complete end-to-end connectivity. Apstra was designed from the ground up to be vendor-agnostic, which gives it a distinct advantage and puts you, the customer, in the driver's seat by allowing you to procure whatever hardware meets business objectives, budgets, and timelines.
