Description

The Cisco Elastic Services Controller (ESC300) course is a virtual instructor-led, labbased, hands-on course offered by Cisco® Learning Services. The course introduces the use of Cisco Elastic Services Controller (ESC) in an OpenStack or VMware environment. The Cisco Enterprise Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) framework is a network architecture concept that uses existing virtualization technologies to virtualize network functions for providing services.

Objectives

● Install and maintain Cisco ESC in an OpenStack or VMware environment

● Manage images, flavors, and networks using Cisco ESC

● Deploy new virtual network functions (VNFs) using Cisco ESC

● Monitor VNFs using custom metrics to perform fault recovery or scale-in/out

● Describe integration of Cisco ESC with Cisco Network Services Orchestrator (NSO) to create an NFV solution

Prerequisites

Cisco recommends that you have the following prerequisite knowledge and skills:

● Basic knowledge of the command line of UNIX-like operating systems

 ● Basic NETCONF knowledge

● Basic OpenStack knowledge For completion of Cisco NSO integration, the following additional knowledge is required:

● Knowledge and skills that can be obtained by attending the Cisco Network Services Orchestrator Foundation (NSO100) class or equivalent

● Basic knowledge of YANG data modelling

● Basic knowledge of Java software development
