In cloud networking, automation is the difference between long, tedious, resource-draining manual processes with great risk of human error and simplified, streamlined deployments that enable you to scale effectively. Innovations like Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Terraform are essential for networking projects from design to migration, but they are only as useful as the people who know how to use them well.
As part of our mission to equip cloud networking heroes with the skills they need, we at Aviatrix proudly announce the launch of a highly-anticipated addition to our Aviatrix Certified Engineer (ACE) program: the ACE Automation Instructor-Led Training (ILT) course. Designed by John Smoker, a DevOps expert with a wealth of industry experience, this offering provides cloud networking professionals to efficiently automate and optimize their cloud infrastructure.
While the self-paced version of this course is still available, this live option connects you with expert instructors who can answer your questions and peers with whom you can discuss common challenges. The course also includes:
- A detailed curriculum covering essential infrastructure as code concepts and practices, including Terraform code, DevOps tools, GitHub, and CI/CD pipelines
- A guided overview of automating Aviatrix technologies, including Network Segmentation, Cloud Perimeter Security, Distributed Firewalling, Traffic Engineering, and more
- Hands-on labs that allow you to practice with the latest automation tools and techniques
- Certification upon course completion, recognizing advanced expertise in cloud network automation
As founder and head of the ACE global certification, I am thrilled to introduce the ACE Automation ILT course. As cloud networking continues to evolve, the demand for skilled professionals who can automate and optimize these environments is higher than ever. This course represents our commitment to providing the best training opportunities for our community, ensuring that they are at the forefront of innovation and excellence in cloud networking.
The ACE Automation ILT course is now open for enrollment. Cloud networking professionals looking to advance their skills and enhance their career opportunities are encouraged to sign up.
