Course Information
As a key enabler in digital transformation, network automation changes the way organizations conduct business.
Organizations synergize and harness power from various platforms (such as clouds, IoT, social networks, ERP, MES, ICS, and CSS) with interconnected networks. However, for organizations to remain competitive and agile, manual and repetitive network configuration and monitoring tasks must be simplified and automated.
Python, has transformed software, IT, finance, banking, insurance and healthcare industries with its AI and data science libraries. Therefore, network automation with Python is a must-know skill today.
