NSP Infrastructure Configuration Management Operations

Ways to learn:
Instructor-led | eLearning

Course overview

This course enables learners to develop a solid theoretical and practical understanding of NSP Infrastructure Configuration Management (ICM) operations. Learn the relationships between configuration intent types, configuration templates, and configuration deployments. Discover how operators use defined configuration templates to deploy both physical and logical configurations, including setting flexible attributes and selecting either individual targets or pre-defined groups. Learn the lifecycle states of both configuration templates and configuration deployments. See how to migrate configuration deployments from one template to another and perform how the intent-based system tackles configuration drift through the usage of audit and align functionalities.
