A Conversation on the Future of Network Engineering

This course is structured as a discussion between David Bombal and Hank Preston, exploring how network engineering is shifting toward automation and programmability. It's less a step-by-step tutorial and more an exploration of where the field is heading and how to prepare for it.

Topics Covered

Transitioning from traditional networking to NetDevOps
Whether to prioritize CCNA, CCNP, or CCIE study versus learning Python or Ansible
Cisco DevNet, including free labs, training, and a live RESTCONF/NETCONF demo
Containers, Docker, microservices, and Kubernetes — including a demo of Kubernetes working alongside ACI

Who It's For

Network engineers weighing certification paths against programming skills, and anyone curious how DevOps concepts map onto networking infrastructure.
