Ever since Cisco DevNet announced its certification track, the excitement just continued one after another. From "DevNet 500" to "Class of 2020", the Network DevOps scene had never been the same. At DevNet Create 2021, the Cisco DevNet team announced its long awaited Expert level exam, Cisco Certified DevNet Expert. In this episode, Hank sat down with me on the YouTube stream to answer some of the questions we collected over social media. You wouldn't want to miss this episode if you are remotely thinking about the DevNet certification track. Even if you are not the certification type, there is also insights to be gained from Hank and team's experience in developing an expert level exam. See you on the other side!

  I never do quite know when I will stumble across someone who I think “I must have this person on my podcast”.  A Cisco Network Automation webinar was one such place, when I met Hank Preston, the NetDevOps Evangelist for Cisco Networks.  He had a HUGE amount of great knowledge to share with us... The post EP013: Cisco NetDevOps Evangelist Hank Preston on smart people learning new things (even when it’s scary). appeared first on Angle Free IT.

Four years ago, Cisco DevNet didn't exist. Today it's a vibrant, rapidly growing community, and DevNet Zones are quickly turning into the most popular areas at Cisco Live events. Tune in to hear Hank Preston talk about why that's happening and what the program has to offer.
