Introducing network programmability

“

- [Instructor] Learning to code and work with programmable infrastructures is extremely important in today's environment. You saw the value of using APIs in previous lessons. You also saw the capabilities of SDN solutions and the benefits of an SDN solution. So whether you actually have configured large network in the past or you're just getting started, you know that this is actually probably very challenging task, right? To involve a lot of clicking around in GUIs, or typing, or copy and pasting, and many repetitive tasks. So nowadays, network infrastructure devices and components are enabled to support APIs and many programmability capabilities to complete powerful tasks and reduce all that repetitive work and save you a lot of time. So using APIs you can actually make requests like the ones that I'm actually showing here to get status of an interface or get information about the last change that interface was actually a change, or actually applying different configuration changes,…
