2.2.7 Lab - Explore DevNet Resources
hello everyone in this video I will walk you through the Devnet site using lab 2.2.7 from Devnet associate course from cisco this lab has two parts and at the beginning in the scenario like you have to understand what is available for you to use so as a developer you should learn or have a complete view about what are things that you can use to develop or in your work what you need to this to do this set actually you need only a computer with internet access you don't need to use in this lab the Devnet virtual machine let's start directly with part one which is a find and navigate a learning lab first we will go to developer.cisco.com and login so we are here and then you can log in from here you can choose any of your accounts you have so you can log in with github with google account facebook with cisco and so on i'm going to log in to login now with my google account and as you can see I am now logged in okay so then let's click to learning tracks as you can see here we click here and then a new browser will open for Devnet and it's okay we can see for example scroll down and click introduction to Devnet you can go down or you can simply search for the lab you want so I will click ctrl and f and then introduction let's go down from here introduction to Devnet as you can see there is another version in Spanish but we are going to use the one in English and then let's click on this and as you can see here we have the lab learning lab here we have models each model has a labs so for example for this one here as you can see I already finished the first one okay let's keep going and continue reading the tutorial so what is in this lab and this is a beginner's track which covers some fundamentals such as python coding and network programmability these skills will be necessary for sexes and discourse this is a great place to start okay so now that let's see the first model and overview and Devnet resource beginner model this is the first model it has two reading labs as you can see this is log one this is the second lap that provide you a quick overview on the div net click the overview of div net link to begin the first lab reading the first lab reading the lab so you can click here and you can start reading the first lab here we have the objective here we have about Devnet here we have some instructions to do you can click next here like this also you can continue the slab and then here you can see here we have we reached the fourth page from before the lab so then click finally your tm bug to the Devnet introduction to Devnet track so as you can see here navigate to and read each page on the overview of Devnet lab when then click the arrow at the button on the last page to return to the introduction to the next track so we returned here already okay so let's start now with part two which is about explore more resources and in this part we are going to explore more resources in this site so with step one let's explore the start now page so we can go to the main page here and as you can see here it says that as a beginner start now link is a great way to get started so let's start here with this start now and then we can click the networking part 101 again you can search here or it is this one here this is a combination of labs that teach you that teaches the fundamentals of networking so how many how many labs are linked on this page as you can see we have three laps which what is the total length of the labs so you can see here we have two hours and then let's return back to the home page we can simply click on this one so from this start now as a summary or to rub up we have here many like labs that you can start from here you can see here the data center networking enterprise networking coding and application programming interface cloud and containers security IOT data center compute and so on so I recommend you find which one of them like of these you are interesting on and then start to do these slops networking here it is mentioning or it was mentioned here in this tutorial because it's like a fundamental so I also if you don't have any knowledge or you need to review your skills and networking I also recommend you to do this lab or these three labs okay let's move forward to explore the video course page as you can see here we have a video course click on it and here you can see are some videos here module one module two and so on and as you can see many people prefer to use videos as a primary way to learn videos can also help to reinforce the content learning and in other ways however from the Devnet homepage click video course I already clicked it you can simply or you can sample any of the models by clicking any of the videos and you can also play the entire model or jump to any video of your choice so here we have a question how many modules are available as a video based as you can see here we have module one till module six so we have six and the second question how many videos are available in the network device api model let's search for model network device api as you can see here we have one two so if we are counting them again so we have five here we have five videos and then let's return here to the Devnet home page again you can click bug okay so let's see explore or step three it's about explore the sandbox page now let's click on the sandbox the sandbox and let's read a little bit about the sandbox if you haven't hear about this yet so one of the greatest things about Devnet is the sandbox this is a place where you can run your code against real equipment there are virtualized environments simulators and real hardware available for free some labs are always running while others require a reservation okay so here you can have like an environment when you can use devices or simulators it's already there in the sand box or sandbox so let's we already clicked on the sandbox and then which type of sandbox provide private access to packaged lab so as you can see here to learn more about the sandbox it is mentioned in bar and b you can click learn more and your page will be opened about the sandbox here we have pros and cons and here we have his reservation sandbox here you can see the reservations and boxes are private access environment and require a reservation okay so the pre-packaged sandbox often includes supporting equipment for the highlighted technologies these samples contain a network domain name resolution development servers and more reservation sand boxes are accessed by connecting to the virtual private network and full administrative access is granted to all equipment and the samples so to answer this one which was which type of sandbox pro provide private access to a package lab as you can see this is the reservation sand boxes or sandboxes and here you can see where can you go or where can you go for help if you have difficulty or which to ask a question about the sand boxes as you can see here having difficulty using sandbox or want to ask questions ask a question in the divnet sandbox community form so you can hear ask questions in this Devnet community form as you can see here you have already some questions and answers and so on so let's return back to the close the lab entry 10 to the Devnet sandbox stuff let's do this we are here again one more time as you can see here in part d we have the sandboxes are grouped by technology type click data center a new tab will open let's go here one more time and let's go and click on that center a new tab will open with some featured sandboxes now to notice that the sandbox category can be found on the left of the page this allows you to open any of the other sand box technology type so if you can click here you can see here this is the sandbox catalog you can close it from here you can open it one more time you can see here there are IOT clouds networking data centers and so on let's close this and let's move forward and click on aci simulator in the right side a new tab will open with the details about the lab known as blue print so let's move to this aci simulator as you can see here when I click on it a new type or a new tab will be here and this is called a blueprint and here you can see the center of the page shows the topology of the lab if there if there is one this is here and the right side of the page shows the resource structure of the lab if there are any additional resources in the log the overview or instructions for the lab are on the left side of the page there are also details about how to connect to the aci server here we have the overview and here we have the also instructions okay so here we have a question what is the url to connect to the aci server to the to start the lab this is here as you can see how to connect to the sci server and this one is here so this is the url to answer this question and why it why is it important not to upload very large resources to the lab as you can see here the answer can be extracted from here this aci server resources is shared this means that you can see other developers resources and they can see yours please do not erase resources you have not created yourself do not upload very large resources or you may drain capacity from other users also do not perform do not perform performance testing against this shared instance of aci so here we have like some instructions that we can answer here why it is important not to upload very large resources to this lab because it is drying capacity from other users okay so let's close the aci simulator sandbox tab we can close it from here when you would like to begin your fair sandbox on your own time you can scroll down to around the middle of the sandbox page and click begin hello world this will walk you through getting set up and connecting for now return to the net homepage okay so if you would like to start your own you can see here begin hello world it's it's here like a tutorial about using sand box let's click on here and we see what is there here we have also hello world here we have also a tutorial that you can use to create your own sand box we are not going to do this we are going to turn them back to the home page let's close these tabs and we stay this with the Devnet home page in step 4 we have explored the code exchange page we can go and click here directly the code exchange page allows you to work with all kinds of code related to a cisco technologies there these are github projects that help you build and cooperate on projects you can search for specific repository or browse by technology so under this page you will have like a repositories from github that you can there download to the to your machine and or copy them to your machine and then work with them then you can test them so there are here many projects under the code exchange so let's fix our steps to the tutorial here so from the Devnet homepage click code exchange i'm already here click explore repos we can click here and we can see here like categories we have python we have one volt and so on so let's choose the cisco webex category and here you can choose any repo let's choose let's say this one this page tells you all about the project so here you have information about the project as you can see here we have owner we have contributors we have also categories languages and so on so let's ask here for example let's from here we can also have a view on github so if I will open this in a new tab I will have the project in github from here you can get the code or copy from this project and then you can work on it but let's answer the questions here what is the name of the project it's the name of the project is awesome web box what category or category is this this project fall under it is here collaboration and here what support option does this project provide you can also find from here support options and then let's return to the Devnet form okay let's return back but here you can just choose another project so let's see here for example another one which is python called samples network you can see here the code or the project on github here we have resort categories and here we have python like you can go to github and here we have the code we can get the code here we can get instructions from here and so on however the github like as a tutorial will be a lab in this course so if you still don't have an account on github I recommend you to do so and open a new account for there prepare it because we will have a lot on github now how to use github okay so let's return back to the home page let's close ours and now let's explore the ecosystem exchange page now we will move this one is here echo system aqua system exchange let's click on it and then let's return back Devnet is much more than cisco technologies alone the ecosystem exchange connects the ecosystem of cisco partners to provide you an aggregation of the solutions by cisco partner based on cisco platforms you can search for a specific listing or browse by technology areas so here we have under this ecosystem exchange we have like technologies built by cisco partners and here we can like search about them we can learn from them we can develop them or you can do like some experiments or projects with them from the Devnet homepage click echo system exchange I already did this and I have got this page here scroll down and click mobility here we can see technology area we have IOT cloud networking data center security analytic and automation we have corporation and we have mobility but let's stick to the tutorial and let's click mobility and here we have click any solution let's click for example vnet rtls platform and here you can see this page will provide you with a description of the solution and a way to find more information such as requesting information website or even support so here what is the partner name so we have this solution and the partner name as you can see here this mid mark here you have request information or see partner profile what are two ways to get more information about the solution you can request information or here I think you can also get information about there the website is there also and we can also see the support here support coverage hours here support hotline here we have support italias and support url and here let's return back to the home page again so this is all about the Devnet ecosystem and here let's explore Devnet platforms Devnet organizes even more information around different platforms from the Devnet homepage click the category or of platform you are interested so let's move down and you can see here we have platforms again we have IOT cloud networking services collaboration mobility and so on so let's click on networking and here you have to click on there any platform check this for example this one here we have networking Dev center here we have getting started then network programmability we have video and so on so under the platform networking i I already select clicked on networking you can click on data center you can click security but let's do this networking and then let's click any platform you are interested here and let's click this one let's see what information we have here and which category did you choose I chose networking and what platform did you explore i'm exploring this network and so on open is open for businesses and here we have platform capabilities listen click on this let's see here what we have internet or intent api here we can read more about it and here we can do some also experiments so that's all for this lab thank you very much and see you on the next lab
