Cisco Network Services Orchestrator (NSO)

Cisco Network Services Orchestrator (NSO) introduces learners to a model-driven approach for automating network services across physical, virtual, and multi-vendor environments. The course explains the purpose of NSO, its architecture, service models, device packages, transaction behavior, and the role of YANG in creating repeatable and consistent network services. Learners understand how orchestration can reduce manual provisioning effort, improve service consistency, and simplify lifecycle operations across complex network environments. The course also shows how NSO supports controlled changes, reusable service definitions, and more efficient management of network devices and services at scale. By combining core concepts with practical workflow understanding, this course gives learners a strong foundation for using Cisco NSO to deploy, automate, and manage network services in a scalable and reliable way.
