NSP Advanced Workflow Design and Management

Course number: OS00116-V
Course duration:  2 days
Price: €1,600

Course overview

This course is intended to enable the learner to understand the concepts and technologies associated with the NSP Workflow Manager. The course explores how the NSP Workflow Manager allows the design and management of “workflows” to automate network operations. Discover the workflow structure and related technologies such as Mistral, YAML, and JSON. Learn Mistral DSL advanced concepts, actions, expression functions, and NSP actions and expression functions to design your workflows. See how the Workflow Manager (WFM) provides a user-friendly interface to design, create, execute, and manage workflows. Explore WFM-enhanced functionality such as environments, Kafka triggers, and Jinja2 templates. Demo workflows execute multiple use cases, such as commissioning a Nokia 7750, CFlash drive cleanup, and SSH user creation.  This course version is based on 24.8.
