{"product_id":"policy-driven-data-center-with-aci-the","title":"Policy Driven Data Center with ACI, The","description":"Using the policy driven data center approach, networking professionals can accelerate and simplify changes to the data center, construction of cloud infrastructure, and delivery of new applications. As you improve data center flexibility, agility, and portability, you can deliver far more business value, far more rapidly. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In this guide, Cisco data center experts Lucien Avramov and Maurizio Portolani show how to achieve all these benefits with Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) and technologies such as python, REST, and OpenStack. The authors explain the advantages, architecture, theory, concepts, and methodology of the policy driven data center. Next, they demonstrate the use of python scripts and REST to automate network management and simplify customisation in ACI environments. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Drawing on experience deploying ACI in enterprise data centers, the authors review design considerations and implementation methodologies. You will find design considerations for virtualised datacenters, high performance computing, ultra-low latency environments, and large-scale data centers. The authors walk through building multi-hypervisor and bare-metal infrastructures, demonstrate service integration, and introduce advanced telemetry capabilities for troubleshooting. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Leverage the architectural and management innovations built into Cisco® Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eUnderstand the policy driven data center model \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eUse policies to meet the network performance and design requirements of modern data center and cloud environments \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eQuickly map hardware and software capabilities to application deployments using graphical tools—or programmatically, via the Cisco APIC API \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eIncrease application velocity: reduce the time needed to move applications into production \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDefine workload connectivity instead of (or along with) subnets, VLAN stitching, and ACLs \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eUse Python scripts and REST to automate policy changes, parsing, customisation, and self-service \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDesign policy-driven data centers that support hypervisors \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eIntegrate OpenStack via the Cisco ACI APIC OpenStack driver architecture \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eMaster all facets of building and operating multipurpose cloud architectures with ACI \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eConfigure ACI fabric topology as an infrastructure or tenant administrator \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eInsert Layer 4–Layer 7 functions using service graphs \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eLeverage centralised telemetry to optimise performance; find and resolve problems \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eUnderstand and familiarise yourself with the paradigms of programmable policy driven networks \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pearson Education","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46286627111150,"sku":"9781587144905","price":76.79,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/policy-driven-data-center-with-aci-the","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
