Network Service Orchestrator (NSO) Lab: Creating a Basic Service Model
This is the follow on to the NSO Fundamental Lab. In this lab, you will create a basic service model (template-based) from scratch. You will apply a simple "bottom up" method to capture a manually created service, parse its components into XML and YANG, then build and test the service model.
CNC SR-MPLS Core Networking Guided Lab
This WWT-guided lab demonstrates several aspects of Cisco's Crossword Network Controller (CNC) in conjunction with Cisco NSO, including path control with Cisco SR-PCE (Path Computational Engine). CNC is a Segment Routing SDN Controller for transport networks. CNC allows an operator to create and manage VPN and Transport services with diverse SLAs, such as disjointness, bandwidth awareness, or low latency. It provides for creating engineered transport paths using SR-TE parameters and provisioning and linking VPN services to these paths. CNC performs real-time network optimization based on current network conditions utilizing the Crosswork Optimization Engine in conjunction with Cisco's IOS-XR-based Segment Routing Path Computation Element or SR-PCE. Cisco NSO is also included and tightly coupled to CNC as the Provisioning engine.
Network Service Orchestrator Lab (NSO)
The Cisco Network Service Orchestrator (NSO) is a powerful service orchestration engine. Service Providers use it to deliver and manage services across their networks. However, many enterprises have adopted NSO for large-scale operations tasks and their own service management needs. This lab environment is used to support WWT's NSO workshop and training content. You can also use it for general NSO learning and experimenting with NSO service models.
Programmability and Automation Meetup Group
The Programmability and Automation Meetup Group focuses on programmability, automation, and Infrastructure as Code using both Open Source tools and vendor-specific solutions. All skill levels are welcome. We will cover many topics from various technologies and provide hands-on lab opportunities.
Network Service Management and Orchestration
Managing and automating services across networks and infrastructure to scale.
What Is "Model-Driven" Orchestration — And Why Would I Use It?
Learn the difference between "model-driven" orchestration and other methods, and when to apply it.
