Shedding Light on Automation and Programmability
As you can see from the listed domains, one more area that gets sharpened once you become a CCNA certification holder is the process of automation as well as programmability. This section covers the tasks that were done previously by humans and are now performed by machines. In preparation for your CCNA test, you will learn how to create a good program for automation and encounter the know-hows of configurations when glitches arise along the way. In particular, you will get to know more about REST-based APIs, Puppet, Chef, and Ansible in addition to learning how to define JSON encoded data.
