Cisco CCNP Implementing DevOps Solutions and Practices (300-910 DEVOPS) v1.1

When network automation and application delivery practices vary by engineer, teams risk slower releases, inconsistent infrastructure changes, and harder-to-troubleshoot outages. This professional-level Cisco DevOps course is a strong fit for IT Directors assigning training to network engineers with roughly three to five years of networking experience who need to support DevOps workflows, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, containers, cloud resources, and monitoring.

Plan for about 21 hours per learner across 24 skills. Because the course spans Jenkins, GitLab, AWS EC2, Docker, Ansible, Terraform, Python testing, Kubernetes, network state validation, and application monitoring, Team Leads may want to assign it in phases aligned to current tooling or upcoming automation projects. It also supports DevNet Professional exam preparation for teams standardizing Cisco DevOps capability.

CBT Nuggets can help Training Managers operationalize the rollout with Playlists for role-based sequencing, Practice Exams for certification readiness, and Team Reporting to track progress across assigned learners.

IT teams complete this training to connect DevOps practices with the real operational work of building, deploying, validating, and monitoring modern networked services.

• Reduce manual deployment friction: Engineers practice concepts around Jenkins and GitLab pipelines, pipeline troubleshooting, and CI/CD error management.
• Standardize infrastructure changes: Teams build familiarity with Ansible and Terraform for configuration management, web service deployment, Terraform variables, and infrastructure workflows.
• Improve container and orchestration readiness: Practitioners learn Docker basics, Docker Compose, Docker Swarm, Kubernetes architecture, and creating pods, services, and deployments.
• Strengthen operational visibility: Teams cover application monitoring, AppDynamics and Kubernetes monitoring, API interactions with Python, and network state validation to support faster issue detection and response.
