Description
Why Cisco ACI?Automation and consistencyAchieve resource elasticity with automation through common policies for data center operations.Multi cloud accelerationExtend consistent policy management across multiple on-premises and cloud instances for security, governance, and compliance.Protect your network with zero-trustGet business continuity, disaster recovery, and highly secure networking with a zero-trust security model.Assurance and insightsTransform Day 2 operations to a more proactive model and automate troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and remediation.What is Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure ACI ?It is SDN solution from Cisco for Data Centers, simply ACI is a Network policy-based automation modelThe end goal of this solution is about enabling software control of the network and how it operates, so that software can automate and change the network based on current conditions in the network.ACI uses a concept of endpoints and policies. The endpoints are the VMs (or even traditional servers with the OS running directly on the hardware). Because several endpoints have the same needs, you group them together into aptly named endpoint groups. Then policies can be defined about which endpoint groups can communicate with whom—for instance, a group of web servers may need to communicate with a group of application servers. The policy also defines other key parameters, like which endpoint groups can access each other (or not), as well as QoS parameters and other services.ACI uses a centralized controller called the Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC),It is the controller that creates application policies for the data center infrastructure...this is your SDN controller for Data Center.ACI uses a partially centralized control plane, RESTful and native APIs, and OpFlex as an SBI. The NBIs allow software control from outside the controller. The controller communicates with the switches connected to the endpoints, and asks those switches to then create the correct flows to be added to the switches. Interestingly.ACI has three main components: Nexus 9000 switches, APIC and ecosystemTopics to be covered: ABC of Cisco ACI 6.0Section 1:Fundamentals of ACILecture 1:IntroductionLecture 2:Topics covered in this trainingLecture 3:Introduction to ACILecture 4:ACI TheoryLecture 5:Components of ACISection 2:ACI Bring-up ProcessLecture 6:Great Job -- Now Start ACI bring up processLecture 7:ACI Bring up processLecture 8:ACI Bring up process part 02Lecture 9:ACI Fabric Membership oldLecture 10:Great Job - Do the Lab in ACI 6.0Lecture 11:ACI Fabric MembershipLecture 12:ACI - Rest of Basic configurationSection 3:ACI PolicyLecture 13:ACI Policy -- Next 2 videosLecture 14:ACI Understand ACI Security policyLecture 15:Fabric access policySection 4:VMM IntegrationLecture 16:ACI VMM theory next 2 videosLecture 17:ACI - VMM integration part 01Lecture 18:ACI - VMM integration part 02Lecture 19:Next 20 minutes -- You will be master in VMM integrationLecture 20:ACI - VMM integration part 01Lecture 21:ACI - VMM integration part 02Section 5:EPG ESG Starts from Here..Lecture 22:ACI - Tenant BD EPG config part 01Lecture 23:ACI - Tenant _BD_EPG config part 02Lecture 24:Next is what -- ESG the greatLecture 25:Next is what -- ESG the greatLecture 26:ESG-Secure the Finance lab 1Lecture 27:ESG-Secure the Finance lab 2
