Spring is knocking on the door and early bird is reaching its end! We are working on the agenda details and update the webpage as we progress, and sessions are locked down. I am delighted to see that so many of you are interested to share your automation story using NSO and it makes me feel very confident that we will be able to repeat last year’s success!
We have now opened up the registration for the hands-on labs. Due to a limited number of seats, we apply first come first served. If you have already registered to the event and want to sign up for the labs, just visit www.cisco.com/go/nso2019/ and update your registration.
Lab RFM
In this lab, we develop a basic Reactive Fastmap service application. Reactive Fastmap applications differ from ordinary Fastmap applications by allowing a service to be activated (but not deactivated) in multiple stages. This is useful, for example, if the application needs to allocate an IP-address from another system, or if the application needs to spin up a virtual machine before configuring it. This is an intermediate lab; you need to be comfortable building an ordinary service application.
Lab NSO in and on Kubernetes
In the first half of this lab, we build a k8s deployment of NSO from the ground up. We will start packaging NSO in a docker container, from there we will gradually build up to having Helm charts that can deploy NSO in a k8s cluster. In the second half, we will turn things upside down. We will use NSO to orchestrate deployment and "day-n" configuration of an example cloud-native application running in k8s via NSO integration with Helm. This is an intermediate lab; You need to be comfortable with container concepts.
Lab Nano
In this lab, we develop a basic Nano service application. Nano service applications differ from Fastmap applications by allowing a service to be both activated and deactivated in multiple stages. This is useful, for example, if the application needs to allocate and return a license for the virtual machine it spins up and down. This is an advanced lab; you need to be comfortable building a Reactive Fastmap service application.
Looking forward to seeing you in Stockholm in June!
