The first half of 2017 is almost gone, so it’s time to check how far I got with the plans I made in January.

Delivered:

• Total refresh of Networking in Private and Public Clouds;
• Right-sizing the network;
• Open Networking (and single-SKU data center networks);
• Two additional network automation use cases;
• Ansible deep dive material (delivered)

You know you get all the materials with ipSpace.net subscription, right?

Still pending:

• AWS networking (will definitely happen in autumn)
• EVPN (including EVPN with VXLAN) – hope to have it done in autumn
• DCI refresh
• Last section in leaf-and-spine fabric designs

Coming totally out of the blue sky (yes, plans are there to be changed ;)

• PowerShell for Networking Engineers (delivered)
• Server virtualization, virtual machines and containers (delivered)
• Using Ansible with NAPALM (delivered)
• Network visibility with flow data (first session in June)
• Docker Security (August)
• DevOps and Security for Enterprise Environments (September)
• QoS Fundamentals (autumn)

Dropped from the list: DMVPN refresh. With Cisco buying Viptela, I don’t see much sense in spending time updating DMVPN materials.

Did I mention you can get the subscription for your whole team? Or bundle an online consulting session with the subscription? Now you know ;)
