IP routing, network security, and device automation can powerfully combine to solve real-life business problems. In this course, Automating BGP Routing Security with gRPC, gNMI, and YDK, you’ll first gain insight regarding the business scenario that the remainder of the course will address. This includes a detailed network review, plus some preparatory automation work. Next, you’ll develop Python scripts using Google Remote Procedure Call (gRPC) and gRPC Network Management Interface (gNMI) to automate the injection of routes onto a network device. This course teaches you the core gRPC and gNMI technologies without using pre-made simplification libraries. Last, you’ll see how to solve the business problem a different way, using the YANG Development Kit (YDK). This powerful tool introduces additional structure to your software design. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills necessary to automate network devices using gRPC, gNMI, and YDK. While the use-cases may differ over time, the method by which these tools are deployed remains the same.
