IT Certification Overview
The Implementing Automation for Cisco Enterprise Solutions (ENAUTO) course equips network engineers with the knowledge and practical skills to automate enterprise network operations using Cisco automation technologies, APIs, and modern development tools. Learners explore the principles of network programmability, software-defined networking, infrastructure automation, and AI-assisted operations while developing practical automation workflows.
Throughout the course, participants gain hands-on experience using Python, Ansible, Cisco Catalyst Center, NETCONF, RESTCONF, streaming telemetry, webhooks, and controller APIs to automate device configuration, software deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting. The course also introduces AI capabilities within network controllers and explores the opportunities and security considerations of AI-assisted network automation.
By combining instructor-led learning with practical labs, learners develop the confidence to automate repetitive operational tasks, improve network consistency, reduce deployment times, and support modern enterprise networking environments.
