This Junos Platform Automation (JAUT) training course provides the Junos platform automation knowledge through hands-on development. You receive hands-on experience with tools and languages relevant to the Junos OS platform. The course includes an introduction to the Junos XML API, YANG and NETCONF. The course focuses on using Python and the PyEZ library to create commit scripts, operation (op) scripts, and event scripts. It also covers an introduction to automation/DevOps tools using Ansible. Finally the course discuses the use of Autoinstallation and JSNAPy automation tools.
