About this course
This 5-day course which focuses on the three main areas that are requested the most during typical new deployments: re-tooling the operations teams to use EOS, understanding Leaf-Spine technologies such as MP-BGP, EVPN and VXLAN, and leveraging CloudVision to reduce OPEX. Modern Data Center technologies such as Leaf-Spine architectures, MP-BGP, EVPN, and VXLAN are a major focus of this course, while utilizing Arista’s CloudVision for management and automation.
Audience profile
It is best suited for new customers in the Data Center space and is focused on increasing confidence and reducing risk by ramping up engineering and operations teams during or shortly before they deploy Arista the first time.
At course completion, you will learn:
Focuses on the three main areas that are requested the most during typical new deployments: re-tooling the operations teams to use EOS, understanding Leaf-Spine technologies such as MP-BGP, EVPN and VXLAN, and leveraging CloudVision to reduce OPEX.
