There are now a handful of organizations (ESnet and Internet2 to name a few) in the global research and education community leveraging Cisco Network Services Orchestrator as part of their network automation and orchestration platforms. This half-day workshop will provide an introduction to NSO, why you might consider using NSO, and hands-on experience with creating NSO service models and running NSO against simulated devices.

Agenda:

• The what and why of NSO [presentation]
• NSO in Docker – intro to the environment [hands-on]
• Anatomy of an NSO service [presentation]
• Creating an NSO service [hands-on]
• Using your new NSO Service [hands-on

Game Day is a collaborative learning exercise that tests skills in implementing AWS solutions to solve real-world problems in a gamified, risk-free environment. This is a completely hands-on opportunity for technical professionals to explore AWS services, architecture patterns, best practices, and group cooperation.

Our approach is unconventional compared to other learning formats.  Ambiguity and non-prescriptive guidance allow teams the flexibility to think creatively as they navigate a wide array of technical challenges.  There is no one right answer; teams pave their own path based on resources we provide them with in live AWS accounts.  If you enjoy open-ended challenges without step-by-step instructions, look no further.

Game Day is not intended for those with no hands-on AWS experience. Pre-event training designed for this specific Game Day scenario will be made available through Cloud Academy to all registrants in order to review and refine the skills needed for the simulation.
