NSP Infrastructure Configuration Management Operations

Course number: OS00115-W

Course duration: 2 hours

Price: €200

Course overview

This eLearning course enables learners to develop a solid theoretical and practical understanding of NSP Infrastructure Configuration Management 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 demonstrate how the intent based system tackles configuration drift through the usage of audit and align functionalities. 

Course objectives

 

After completing the course, students should be able to:

 

  • Describe the NSP Infrastructure Configuration Management (ICM) solution and process.
  • Describe the role of intent types and views in NSP ICM
  • List the ICM product artifacts
  • Describe the differences between physical and logical configuration templates
  • Describe the role of configuration templates
  • Explain the configuration template lifecycle states
  • Explain the difference between global and local configuration
  • Describe the use of targets in configuration templates
  • Describe and demonstrate physical and logical configuration deployments
  • Demonstrate how to drill down into a template to view all associated configuration deployments
  • Demonstrate how to create a deployment based on a node configuration (Brownfield discovery)
  • Demonstrate how to migration objects between configuration templates
  • Explain and demonstrate the audit and align functionalities
