This self-paced course provides students with foundational knowledge required to automate Junos using NetDevOps automation tools, protocols, and technologies. Students receive hands-on experience with tools and languages relevant to automating the Junos OS platform in a NetDevOps environment. The course includes an introduction to the basic NetDevOps practices, Junos APIs, and Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF). It also focuses on using Python, Junos PyEZ, Representational State Transfer (REST) API methods, and the Junos REST API to automate Junos. This course introduces XML, JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), and YAML, as these languages facilitate Junos automation. This course also introduces Juniper platform automation using REST API. Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience with automating the Junos operating system. This course uses Junos OS Release 24.2R1, Junos PyEZ 2.6.3, and Python 3.8.10.
