Course Description

The course includes hands on demonstrations using both Cumulus VX and physical switches. The best part is you can practice using GNS3 and Cumulus VX locally on your laptop!

Cumulus Linux combines the power of Open Networking with a network

operating system that runs on top of industry standard networking

hardware from vendors such as Dell, HP, Quanta and others. Founded by

veteran networking engineers from Cisco and VMware, Cumulus Networks

makes the first Linux operating system for networking hardware and fills

a critical gap in realizing the true promise of the software-defined

data center. Just as Linux completely transformed the economics and

innovation on the server side of the data center, Cumulus Linux is doing

the same for the network. It is radically reducing the costs and

complexities of operating modern data center networks for service

providers and businesses of all sizes.

By providing a software-only solution, Cumulus Linux is enabling

disaggregation of data center switches akin to the x86 server

hardware/software disaggregation. Data-center networking is rapidly

standardizing on merchant silicon and with Cumulus Linux, networking is

adopting the principals of Linux and disaggregation of the compute

world.

As animaes apresentadas atrapalham um pouco a concentrao. Vdeos muito curtos tambm no desenvolvem bem os conceitos.

By Alejandro Bravo on 7/19/2020

It was a good introduction, lots of concepts. It can be improved by mixing GNS3 and Cumulus VX virtual appliance. To mix real life and practice.

So far I am getting just the background information which is a good warm up. I still interested and believe this course is a good match for me. I need to learn Linux from a networking perspective and I believe this course will deliver that.
