Cisco Live in sunny (foggy?) San Diego was a memorable one for me. Yes, AI was all the rage, but this was the first year I could call myself a Cisco Press author! In this post we will dive into my experience while attending the conference, everything from human networking to the new networking product/tech […]
It’s been a minute since my blog post, so I apologize – life has been busy over the past year. Coincidentally, my last post recapped AutoCon 0, so I guess it makes sense I come back from my blogging hiatus to talk about my experience at AutoCon 2! Summary AutoCon 2 was special for me […]
Summary AutoCon0, hosted by the Network Automation Forum (NAF), is a conference focused on figuring out ways to increase network automation adoption across the industry. There were presentations, panels, and vendor booths present at the conference to help drive the conversation. I wish I could highlight each presenter/panelist, as I was able to take something […]
Intro So it’s been almost 5 months since my last blog post. I can’t believe it’s been that long 😬… but I’m back! I thought what a better way to come back then recap my experience at this year’s Cisco Live US conference held in Las Vegas, so let’s get into it! This post will […]
Introduction If you follow me on Twitter or LinkedIn, you’ve probably seen me talking about a project I’ve been working on called net-textorial. You may be wondering why the funny name? What does it do? In this post, I’m going to go over net-textorial, the tech it’s built on, and why you should use it. […]
Intro Hello again! It’s been a few months since my last post, so I figured it was time to give a little update on what I’ve been up to! After my last attempt at the Cisco DevNet Expert, I was pretty burnt out studying for certification exams. I wanted to do something that reinvigorated my […]
Brief Intro Hello again! For those that are new or need a brief recap of my first Cisco DevNet Expert lab experience, I failed my first attempt and documented my experience in a separate blog post (check it out here!). I won’t go into as much detail as I did in my first experience blog […]
Intro For those that don’t follow me on Twitter (@devnetdan) or my YouTube channel, I began documenting DevNet Expert study journey in the beginning of 2022 (dubbed #RoadtoDevNetExpert). I’ve learned so much along the way and, in this blog post, I’m going to go through everything I experienced along the way, hoping that it will […]
Overview Before we dive into the content, let’s take a step back to appreciate where we are at in building test network environments. It all started with building a physical lab environment, where we had to purchase hardware, physical space, power, cables, and the list goes on… After physical labbing became cumbersome and costly, we […]
Intro Back in October, Cisco DevNet announced the new DevNet Expert certification. As you can imagine, I was pumped to hear the announcement and ready to begin my study preparations. Ever since they announced the Cisco DevNet certifications at Cisco Live US 2019, my goal has been to obtain each DevNet certification level (Associate, Professional, […]
