Course overview

This 2-day hands-on course introduces students to Nokia’s Event Driven Automation (EDA) platform. The training will cover how EDA leverages Kubernetes concepts to automate the network configuration and operations in a data center.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to define, deploy and operate a data center network using EDA’s declarative, intent-based approach.
