You will learn about virtualized network function infrastructures and how to use programmability and orchestration to manage virtualization cloud infrastructures. You will also learn about cloud computing and implementation of cloud interconnect and data center interconnect solutions. In addition, you will learn how to monitor and secure virtualization cloud infrastructures and provide optimization and high availability within the infrastructures.

This training prepares you for the 300-540 SPCNI exam. If passed, you earn the Cisco Certified Specialist – Service Provider Cloud Network Infrastructure certification and satisfy the concentration exam requirement for the Cisco Certified Networking Professional (CCNP) Service Provider certification.
