For IT leaders

What IT leaders need to know before assigning this course

Modern Cisco environments create risk when application delivery, network automation, and API integrations depend on a few specialists or manual runbooks. IT teams complete this Cisco DevNet Professional Core (350-901 DEVCOR) training to standardize how DevOps and network automation practitioners design applications, consume Cisco APIs, automate infrastructure, and troubleshoot production issues.

This course is best fit for DevOps professionals, network automation engineers, and experienced IT Practitioners with several years of exposure to automation tools and DevOps practices. The curriculum is substantial: about 22.5 hours of training per learner, before review or exam prep. Team Leads should plan it as a staged enablement path rather than a one-week assignment.

For IT Directors, the operational value is risk reduction: better logging, data privacy awareness, CI/CD discipline, infrastructure as code practices, and model-driven network automation can reduce configuration drift and improve release reliability. CBT Nuggets Playlists and Team Reporting help Training Managers assign the path consistently and track progress across the team.

Team Impact

How this training helps your team succeed

This training helps teams connect DevOps practices with Cisco infrastructure operations, so automation work is less ad hoc and easier to support in production.

  • Improve troubleshooting workflows: Teams practice diagnosing application issues from event logs, understanding observability, and using monitoring concepts such as AppDynamics and model-driven telemetry dashboards.
  • Standardize API-driven operations: Practitioners work with RESTful API concerns such as caching, pagination, OAuth, and sequence diagrams, then apply those ideas to Cisco platforms including Meraki, Firepower Device Management, Intersight, UCS, DNA Center, and IOS-XE RESTCONF.
  • Strengthen release and deployment practices: Teams cover Git operations, PyPI packaging, Jenkins/GitHub CI/CD pipelines, Docker, Kubernetes, static code analysis, continuous testing, and 12-factor app principles.
  • Reduce manual network configuration: The course introduces automation approaches using RESTCONF, Ansible, Puppet, Terraform, YANG data models, and configuration management concepts.
