Cisco DevNet Explained

How to get certified

Cisco DevNet Training and Certification.

Software and IT infrastructure are growing more and more interconnected. Applications deliver innovative new experiences, and IT professionals can now take advantage of automation and DevOps through NetDevOps. NetDevOps brings network teams together with development and operations teams, so you can scale and secure your infrastructure faster and more efficiently than ever before.

To maximize all this potential, NetDevOps professionals need a broad-based foundation of skills, and deeper focus in strategic technology areas.

Cisco Certified DevNet Professional certification gives you that breadth and depth. The certification covers core skills and knowledge, plus a concentration area of your choice. And completing any professional-level certification exam earns you a Cisco Specialist certification, so you get recognized for your accomplishments along the way.

Whether you’re a software developer, a networking professional, or some of both, Cisco Certified DevNet Professional training and certification prepares you for professional-level job roles in designing and writing applications that use Cisco platforms as a base.

To earn DevNet Professional, you pass two exams, a core exam and a software developer concentration exam of your choice. And now every exam in the DevNet Professional program earns an individual Specialist certification, so you get recognized for your accomplishments along the way.

  • The core exam focuses on your knowledge of software development and design including using APIs, Cisco platforms, application deployment and security, and infrastructure and automation. The core exam earns a specialist certification, so you get recognized for your accomplishments along the way.
  • Concentration exams focus on emerging and industry-specific topics such as enterprise automation, collaboration automation, data center automation, service provider automation, security automation, DevOps automation, IoT, and Cloud.

Cisco’s certification and training program now includes DevNet certifications and is designed for both the network professionals and software developers to optimize and write applications for the new network and choose the technology skills they want to develop:

Automation at scale.

You want to ensure repeated, trusted, network configurations, even for complex hybrid cloud deployments. Your teams deserve to be equipped to share configurations and repeatedly deploy those, keeping your automation scripts under version control for continuous deployments. Scaling automation best practices gives you agreed-upon terms of engagement to make sure that IT services of the future deliver business value over and over.

Self-serve network operations.

The future holds opportunities beyond compute and storage services to improvements in network implementations, configurations, and deployments. When you can offer self-service network operations, you wholly trust that your network improvements provide network enhancements finely tuned to each purpose. Whether in a health care center or a campus job fair, the networks of the future provide the exact networks needed for the context.

Distributed applications.

Today’s modern applications can be widely distributed to devices that compute power at the edge of the network where it’s most efficient or secure to do any required processing. The opportunities and innovation available with edge deployments make your networks even more powerful.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is DevNet?

Cisco DevNet is Cisco’s developer program to help developers and IT professionals who want to write applications and develop integrations with Cisco products, platforms, and APIs. Cisco DevNet includes Cisco’s products in software-defined networking, security, cloud, data center, mobility, internet of things, collaboration, services and open-source software development. The developer.cisco.com site also provides learning and sandbox environments as well as video series for those trying to learn coding and testing apps.

The industry comes to DevNet to find Cisco Community resources like Code Exchange which includes code repositories related to Cisco technologies, Ecosystem Exchange to connect with the Global Cisco Partner Ecosystem and find solutions, and now DevNet Automation Exchange which is the industry leading code repository of network automation use cases.

Why is Cisco now offering DevNet certifications?

Cisco is announcing new DevNet certifications focused on validating the skill sets of software developers, DevOps engineers, automation specialists, and other software professionals.

The new offering will help unleash the full capabilities of the new network by educating network infrastructure engineers and software developers in application development, automation, DevOps, Cloud, and IoT.

How are DevNet certifications different than Cisco’s traditional certifications?

Cisco certifications are already known worldwide as some of the most prestigious networking credentials in the industry. DevNet certifications are a subset of Cisco certifications, intended to validate software skills, such as programming, application development, DevOps and automation.

While Cisco certifications are unique and distinct in their subject matter, they are very much complementary. Together, these certifications provide a comprehensive catalog that validates skill sets in both networking hardware and software. As Cisco has blended hardware and software to reflect the demands of the industry, so, too, are these certification programs aligned, making it easy for learners to fluidly move between technologies, solutions and programmability.
