Highlighted Learning Maps

  • Full-Stack Observability
    Cisco's platforms provide opportunities at every layer of IT operations and application deployment for organizations to "see" what is going on with their internal and external applications. Be it from network layer traffic management to security vulnerabilities in the actual code, come see how integrations can be utilized across Cisco's portfolio to truly realize full stack obeservability.
  • Infrastructure-as-Code
    The concepts of infrastructure and code can seem diametrically opposed, yet the fundamentals come from a route of repeatability and simplification. In this session, you will learn developer concepts for how you can automate the “sweaty armpit work” in your network.
  • Observability & Beyond
    Find all observability and beyond here! From Cisco’s full-stack observability platform, Calisti, Panoptica to open source solutions and anything else you might need to develop and secure today's modern applications.
