Abstract:  Telindus, SURFnet and T-Mobile share their outcomes of different automation strategies. How to go above and beyond the traditional way of networking to experience the thrill of foiling. The thrill to master core and B2B connectivity services in full flight with automation is changing the networking landscape for good. The future of networking is like foiling is for sailing: agility and speed with less effort and reduced risks. Telindus enabled this foiling state with Cisco NSO for T-Mobile and SURFnet with different approaches.   Speakers: Wouter Huisman, SurfNet Albert Lentink, Telindus ... View more

Abstract: A key challenge when adopting a multi-cloud strategy is to achieve a solution that is fully automated, highly secure and quality assured. A core component in the multi-cloud is the cloud exchange that interconnects end-users securely to applications in various cloud locations, across virtual networks and virtual functions. This is where Cisco's Secure Agile Exchange (SAE) provides a unique offering.    This session explains how Cisco SAE works together with Netrounds to achieve automated active assurance of newly created network services and virtual service chains. The live demo will show an innovative assurance solution with Cisco NSO deploying Netrounds Active Test Agents as part of service chains running on Cisco SAE.   Netrounds on SAE enables advanced and automated sectionalisation of the virtualised data plane and ensures that new services are delivered right the first time, and that they remain right all the time during their life cycle.   Speakers: -  Sujay Murthy – Cisco NSO Application Team/SAE - Jonas Krogell, Technical Product Manager Netrounds ...

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! //NSO team ... View more
