NSP Programmable Network Automation

Course number: OS00100-V
Course duration: 2 days
Price: €1,600

Course overview

This hands-on course explores the concept of “network automation” and how Nokia’s programmable Network Services Platform (NSP) automates network operations with powerful Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to consume and monitor network resources.  Discover how REST and RESTCONF APIs provide a single entry point into the consolidated suite of NSP functions.  Learn REST and RESTCONF terminology and the coding principles required to access these APIs.  See how Nokia’s Network Developer Portal provides automation guides, NSP API documentation and downloadable sample codes.  Sample codes are then imported into POSTMAN to execute use cases for NSP APIs including Network Inventory, Service Fulfillment, Fault Management, Telemetry and Workflows. This course is based on NSP version 24.8.
