In our last DevNet Specialization episode (i.e., S7|E44), we introduced DevNet Specialization—a program that recognizes Cisco partners who have built business practices around software programmability and automation. We also heard from three Cisco partners as they shared their experiences pursuing this certification. 

In this follow-up session, we check back to hear what they’ve been up to and how their developer capabilities have translated into business value for their teams and customers.

S8|E36 DevNet Specialization, Programmability and You! (Part 2)

Routed optical networking, part of the Converged SDN Transport Architecture, is a new network paradigm that delivers improved operational efficiencies and simplicity. The solution works by merging IP and private line services onto a single layer where all the switching is done at Layer 3. Routers are connected hop-by-hop with standardized pluggable coherent optics.
 
With a single service layer based upon IP, flexible management tools can leverage telemetry and model-driven programmability to streamline lifecycle operations. This simplified architecture integrates open data models and standard APIs, enabling a provider to focus on automation initiatives for a simpler topology.
