Even with the theme from the last couple of skills we've done together,
I wanted to provide some examples that allow us to be able to see under the
hood with Cisco
when it pertains to platform as a service. So let's move on over to the side
screen.
We did it. And I have here on the screen right now developer.sisco.com. Now the
reason I have
this up on the screen is because this is where Cisco allows us to be able to go
through and do what's
called sandbox mode and basically try out some of these cars and test drive WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
called sandbox mode and basically try out some of these cars and test drive
them before we want
to go ahead and mind them. Now I'm going to have the link for this right below
the video and do
note that you have to use your Cisco login to be able to do this. Some other
finer things that I've
found out was that this at least on my end was not chrome friendly. So if you
run across that error,
I'm using edge of out of all the browsers I run over here. So that way I was
able to pull up this
demonstration for you. Now after you go into launch sandbox and put in your
credentials, you'll be able
to move on over to this, which is where we have a bunch of different labs, not WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
to move on over to this, which is where we have a bunch of different labs, not
really labs, but
different products that Cisco offers in that platform as a service model. Now
why is it platform
as a service? Because again, we're taking a look at the application side of the
house
in our whole brand scheme of the actual cloud infrastructure and we have
application
responsibilities. So this would actually be given to us as a product that we WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
responsibilities. So this would actually be given to us as a product that we
can configure and
maintain inside of our platform as a service model for our organization. Now we
're going to take
a look at a couple of these in particular and take a look at them. But one
thing I do want to point
out and I put a better explanation for below this video is Cisco Kinetic. Now
it was retired earlier
this year, but if you want to take a look at some of the replacements for it,
this is actually one
of the best spots to do it. Now I do want to point out that while we're here, WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
of the best spots to do it. Now I do want to point out that while we're here,
yep down there,
inside of our sandbox environment for DevNet, there are a couple of things that
we need to point
out as well too. For instance, you can only run one environment at a time and
it does do a real-time
startup. So I want to show you an example real quick. We were taking a look at
potentially going into
the Catalyst Center sandbox, which is second row, second from the left, and we
just simply click on
launch. And it'll show us a launch form here to be able to configure how long WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
launch. And it'll show us a launch form here to be able to configure how long
we want to run this
in its duration for our sandbox environment and then we just go into launch
environment. Now if I
click launch, it's going to give me an error saying that I've already got one
in use already and I'll
show you where it's at. We're going to click OK because that was the action
that was we were trying
that I wasn't allowed to do. And on the left side of the screen, you have a
what looks like a little
circle with a half of a triangle in it called environments if you've over over WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
circle with a half of a triangle in it called environments if you've over over
it. And you click on
that and you can see all the different environments that you have launched. And
you can see here that I
have the Cisco or Catalyst Center sandbox running and it's going for one day.
Now on the left side of it,
you'll check your status right here and then we have a status of launching.
This is where I was talking
about that real time environment because if we click on that and go into it, we
can see that we have
about 54 minutes left for it to actually actively launch. But some of the key
information that we're WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
information that we're
looking for here in platform as a service is here on the right because it gives
us an overview and
explanation of what it is that each of these applications does for us inside of
that platform as a
service model for our sandbox. Now we're taking a look at Cisco Catalyst Center
here and for those
that have been around Cisco for a little bit, it was formerly known as Cisco
Digital Network Architecture.
So what did this really do? Well, it allowed us to be able to manage our Cat
alyst environment WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
alyst environment
basically for folks like me way back in the day, we'd have to go into these one
by one. But now with
stuff like this, we can go in here and manage from a remote session and also
push out things like
configs and other great stuff to where we don't have to touch these one by one.
Now it gives you
information down below as to how the environment is going to be set up and how
the configuration is going
to generally look and also some links if you want to get more in depth inside WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
to generally look and also some links if you want to get more in depth inside
of this. Now a couple
of things I want to walk you through here real quick is that let's say that we
want to close this
and open another one. Go back to your left and go to Blueprints catalog right
above where the
environment was and now you can look through here and see all the different
possible sandbox
environments that we can open up. Now on the bottom left right here, excuse me,
this is a few
rows down and you can search for it as well. We are looking at iOS XE on Cat 8K WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
rows down and you can search for it as well. We are looking at iOS XE on Cat 8K
V and this is basically
Catalyst 8000 sandbox provides access to iOS XE environments. Now why is that
important? Well there's
a couple of things coming up that are going to be discussing throughout the
remainder of this program
where we're talking about different APIs and how to practice them. Now for
those at home that don't
want to spend Bukku's about amounts of money to be able to buy all of that
stuff, this is where we
would actually start practicing that kind of thing and get as close to a real WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
would actually start practicing that kind of thing and get as close to a real
time hands on environment
as we want to. So I'm going to go ahead and click on watch on that and you can
see that the same
duration window comes up as well and on the bottom left I'm just going to click
on launch environment
and you can see that I am still restricted to one. So it's going to be a one
time one at a time
type situation here but I just wanted to point this out for a second and we
will come back to this
in Catalyst center sandbox that we are working on after my duration closes down WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
in Catalyst center sandbox that we are working on after my duration closes down
or for the startup.
So I got about 51 minutes left we're going to keep boobing on and some of the
other stuff that we
need to cover for platform as a service.
