The first and the foremost is setting up a lab device for practising network automation. No matter how much theory you read but at the end of the day, its the actual hands-on that will teach you network automation. Cisco Always ON Devnet Sandbox Lab is one the great ways we can leverage to get hands on practise.
In this post we are going to talk about the Cisco Always ON Devnet Sanbox Lab that you are use for your network automation practise without having to setup any local GNS3 or Eve-ng labs.
Always-On (AO) sandboxes are always ready to go when you are! AO sandboxes don’t require a reservation. These environments are shared among all users so administrative access is restricted. This provides access to “kick the tires” with non-admin APIs on the fly.
Pros
- Instant access – no setup time
- Always available
- No reservations required
- Powerful access to APIs
Cons
- No admin access
- Shared environment
Here are the lab details that you must use responsibly taking care of the fact that others are also using these devices.
