At the end of this course, you will understand API and Automation concepts and be aware of a variety of tools and methods for automating ExtremeCloud IQ deployments. Automation is about turning repetitive jobs into self-proceeding procedures with use of scripts. Besides automating day-to-day tasks, this course is also about automating deployments. All these automations, tasks, workflows, and scripts result in a more efficient and effective way of doing business, but it also reduces human errors for “simple” and recurring tasks. Scripting skills are required to master automation and implement solutions independently, but instruction about custom scripting is limited. All scripts required for the labs are provided.
