I want to subscribe to cisco u but I'd like to know how much of inf, labs, manuals ,etc they have.

i.e. Cisco U. shows a video how to configure NDO, manuals, scripts, labs, etc.

Somebody help me to know more about that subscription because it'll be a very expensive purchase.

I'll be waiting your comments.

hello @oscar.cuevas1 Cisco U. has a good amount of content especially for things like ACI, NDO, SD-WAN, etc. but again, the depth can vary depending on the topic. You can get a sneak peek from this link; https://u.cisco.com/learn 

if u ask me It’s a solid platform//

hope it helps....

Hello @oscar.cuevas1,

Cisco U offers a lot of content for the topics you mentioned but like any such vendor the quality might vary heavily.

In general, the content that is related to some certification and prepares for an exam is really good. In regards to non-certification related content, I have seen anything from absolutely amazing down to just a waste of time and money.

Labs: You can check any course to see whether or not it contains labs and how many of them. All labs have a detailed step-by-step solution guide with explanations. Most labs are done on virtual equipment (like CML) but there are also some pre-scripted simulations where you can only follow the scripted flow.

Videos: Most courses contain some videos but you can check this only after starting the course. Some courses contain lots of great videos, others contain none, the majority contains some videos for the important topics. A few courses even have videos for the lab solutions with really helpful additional explanations not mentioned in the printed version.

If you are not already familiar with Cisco U, then you should sign up for the free version first.
This allows access to courses like CNIOS which is a typical example of good quality content and access is free until August 7, 2025.

HTH!
