DEVASC - Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Core Platforms (DEVASC)

Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Core Platforms (DEVASC) v1.0 is an associate-level course designed to prepare learners for the Cisco Certified DevNet Associate certification and for roles focused on network automation and application development. The course introduces the fundamentals of application development, automation, and programmability using Cisco platforms and APIs.

Participants learn how to build basic network-enabled applications and automate workflows across networking, security, collaboration, and computing infrastructures. Through hands-on labs and real-world scenarios, learners gain practical experience working with REST APIs, model-driven programmability, YANG, and modern development tools. The course bridges the gap between traditional networking and software development, enabling learners to leverage the network as a programmable platform to meet business needs.

This course prepares learners for the 200-901 DEVASC exam, which earns the Cisco Certified DevNet Associate certification.
