Cisco Certified DevNet Specialist - Service Provider Automation and Programmability
Simple. This is an incredible book for any and all Network Engineers interested in learning technologies used in Service Provider environments. The book is heavily focused on MPLS, SDN, Segment-Routing, BGP, L2VPN/L3VPNs, over-all traffic engineering and much more. These are common terms within SP networks and the book does an incredible job in guiding the audience while exploring the device configurations in this topology.
This book goes through a number of device configurations in a multi-vendor lab topology (Cisco IOSXR && Juniper)
For this lab, all devices have been replaced with Cisco-IOSXR/XE as we are working on a Cisco Certification.

My goal is to gather all of my self-training in this repostiroy and cover all the major Cisco Certified DevNet Specialist (300-535 SPAUTO) topics. Starting with NSO because I have zero exposure to it professionally.
There will be some extra material in this repository that can be an aid for other areas including but not limited to: - Batfish - Nornir
It would be expected for you to have access to a virtual lab environment that can run this topology. There are a total of 17 devices running in the lab scenario. 8 of them are IOSXR devices, which can consume up to 3GB each.
A local or remote instance of NSO running to take advantage of all of the scripts.
A wiki will be created with study notes, material, etc.
Explore the content, break the scripts and have fun with it.
I learn better when I am doing, not just reading and specially when breaking things. Having this complicated topology, building all the services in an automated way will be key to our success in passing the certification. There will be tons of material in the end that will cover all the topics in the exam.
