On Monday at the Cisco Live event in San Diego, Cisco’s developer program DevNet announced an update to its professional certification program. The update joins software developers with network professionals under a new community-based developer center, with the hopes of accelerating the progress of network automation in organizations, according to a press release.
“Networking technology has evolved significantly over the last five years and the new network
can accelerate business, catalyze new applications, and bring DevOps practices to networks,”
Susie Wee, senior vice president, CTO, and founder of Cisco DevNet, said in a press release. “We are bringing software skills to the networking industry with new Cisco DevNet certifications. In addition, we are bringing software, practices to networking by having a community of networkers and developers work together to solve tough network automation problems through shared code repositories. This will allow the industry to take full advantage of the capabilities of the new network to accelerate business.”
Network automation is one of the biggest challenges for IT, a Cisco report found. However, organizations can combat this by creating a network based on the Walk-Run-Fly method: Walk through the networks to gain insight or visibility on success and failures; run activation policies and implement them across domains; and fly by managing applications and devices with DevOps workflows.
The new certifications include the DevNet certifications to validate software professionals, streamlined certifications to validate engineering professionals, and training to help entry level professionals in both the network and software industries.
