Cisco folded its DevNet Associate certification into the core CCNA family and renamed it CCNA Automation. This course walks you through that shift step by step: Python fundamentals, Git-based version control, REST/NETCONF/RESTCONF APIs, YANG data models, and Ansible playbooks for Cisco infrastructure. Built for networking professionals as well as developers moving into network engineering, it combines mentor-led sessions, hands-on labs, and a capstone project so you walk away genuinely job-ready, not just exam-ready.
