Chief Innovation Officer at Altus Consulting, a Cisco partner based in Costa Rica. Started my company at 23. I'm currently head of the technical department, in charge of the networking, software development and cloud focused engineers. Married, father of two.
Another good resource to learn about NETCONF and YANG are the tail-f videos (Now Cisco NSO) (Tail-f Systems - YouTube). At least for me, those videos were helpful to understand both concepts.

Adam, Amazing blog post. Very clear and with lots of interesting information. I love the netconf-console recommendation. My starting point in the learning curve of NETCONF/RESTCONF were the DevNet learning labs and also the Programming and Automating Cisco Networks: A guide to network programmability and automation in the data center, campus, and WAN book. I highly recommend both resources.

Sebastien, If you are talking about APIC-EM, it is linux-based appliance. Configuration is done over a web interface or API. What Adam is showcasing here is the PnP functionality of APIC-EM. best regards, -- Jose

What I really like about DevNet is the very friendly community that you have built. It's very welcoming to novice users and developers. It is a great bridge for a Partner, that allows to go from the traditional reseller role to the software development world if they are interested.

Olivier, Check this thread APIC-EM Demo installation We were able to use 32 GBs, we didn't try Adam's suggestion of 22 GB. However, that was for version 1.2. I don't know if that has changed with version 1.3 Best, -- Jose B

Hello, First of all, congrats to everyone that worked in the 1.3 APIC-EM release. I did a quick scan of the release notes and couldn't find information about API changes. Would really help if you can guide me in the right direction about what was added, changed, deprecated, etc API-wise. Thanks

Rob, If you use Prime, you can also do PnP there. http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/3-0/user/guide/pi_ug/plugandplay.html

The EEM stuff is really cool. Would never have thought of it. Very useful. Integrating Spark with APIC-EM is great. I'm still thinking about use cases for POST calls but for GET is quite nice. We are working in a project with a big rollout and we are working in this chat bot to allow the project manager to get the information that he needs without having to go to an engineer. I don't know if it's a feature in the roadmap but I think that having some kind of webhook in APIC-EM would be great for a use case like this. For example I can register to a PnP event and trigger an action in the chat bot, or any other system for that matter, when a new device is configured. Again, great blog.

The 22 GBs installation didn't work but the disks in that server are really slow. For the moment, we went with the 64 GBs installation. As soon as we can, we'll try to do installations with lower memory settings and share our results.
