In this course you will learn about the software-defined and open source networking landscape. This includes how networking hardware is being disaggregated, what open network operating systems (NOS) are and how they run on different networking hardware, ways to automate networking tasks, how SDN controllers manage underlay networks, what NFV is and how it can help reduce the complexity of today’s data center environments, orchestration tools that can build a bridge between applications and networking, and more.
Designed for open source enthusiasts, university students, network architects and engineers, security architects and engineers, and systems engineers, this course offers a great introduction to open source networking.
The key to a successful open technology project is to ensure a neutral playing field for all developers, technologists, and companies to collectively contribute to project evolution and growth. The Linux Foundation was built on the idea of the democratization of code and scaling adoption, for all projects equally. Expert legal and governance support programs ensure everyone is on the same playing field.
