Cisco IOS XE offers advanced programmability and automation capabilities that simplify network management and reduce complexity. By utilizing open, standards-based APIs such as NETCONF, RESTCONF, and gNMI, network administrators can efficiently provision and configure devices, minimizing manual errors. The integration of Zero-Touch Provisioning with DevOps toolkits accelerates device onboarding, while model-driven telemetry provides real-time data collection for enhanced monitoring and troubleshooting. Cisco\u2019s automation solutions are extensible across the entire device lifecycle, supporting seamless software upgrades and patching. These features allow our customers to drive business outcomes and be at the cutting edge of network automation, enabling faster, more secure, and efficient network operations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nReady to dive deeper into Cisco IOS XE programmability, automation and telemetry? Join us at Cisco Live AMEA in San Diego June 8 \u2013 12, 2025! <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n
These sessions cover topics ranging from getting started with Cisco IOS XE programmability and automation, tooling with YANG Suite and Terraform, and topics ranging from modern approaches for IOS XE network management to Streaming Telemetry to Atomic Configuration Replace. For the first time ever, there will be a four-hour technical seminar covering an overview of all things programmability with Cisco IOS XE. See the details of the upcoming Cisco Live sessions below:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nTechnical Seminar<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\nAutomating All Things YANG, All the time \u2013 Programmability and Automation 101 with Cisco IOS XE [TECOPS-2314]<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\nThis programmability and automation on Cisco Catalyst IOS XE includes an overview of the YANG based APIs and the associated tooling. The session will cover automation at every device stage including device onboarding, device configuration management, device monitoring and device optimization. Many tools such as YANG Suite will be used to demonstrate finding a YANG model and building API calls to push to Catalyst devices. The Model-Driven Telemetry capabilities will also be discussed and the example Docker container for collection and visualization will be demonstrated. Guest Shell, the Python and NETCONF API, and other innovations that enable our devices to be deployed, managed, and configured with ease at scale.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nBreakout Sessions<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\nAtomic Config Replace with Cisco Catalyst 9000 [BRKENS-2604]<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\nAtomic Configuration and atomic config replace is becoming more and more requested, and this session dives deep into the newly introduced features within IOS XE and the Catalyst 9000 family. Being able to manage configuration in an atomic fashion allows teams to more effectively manage the change and network configuration drift. Using CLI or API the atomic config replace features will be demonstrated so that you can immediately benefit from leveraging either partial config or complete config replace. Easily replace ACL, policies, or interface configurations, or supply a complete config and that config will be set regardless of existing configuration.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nCisco IOS XE: Telemetry, Automation, and YANG\u2014Oh My! [BRKOPS-1401]<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\nThis programmability and automation on Cisco Catalyst IOS XE includes an overview of the YANG based APIs and the associated tooling.

An Enterprise Network Automation Journey [BRKDEV-2017]<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\nHow many Google API micro services are there on Cisco IOS XE, and what are their capabilities? At the end of this session not only will you be able to answer this question with confidence but you will also have a deep understanding of the solutions and real world use cases that are enabled as part of the Google Network Management API. But what about Model-Driven Telemetry? What are the best practices for mutual TLS authentication and collection of large amounts of telemetry data ? This session covers the complete Programmability & Automation lifecycle of the Cisco Catalyst 9000 when managed using gRPC, gNMI and gNOI\u2026 oh my!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe Network of the Future is Here \u2013 Let\u2019s Automate your IPv6 deployment with Python! [BRKOPS-2223]<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\nIPv6 marks a new horizon in the world of networking, promising limitless IP addresses and enhanced network performance. It is time to embark on this journey \u2013 but let\u2019s do it the right way from the beginning: using automation! In this 90 minute breakout you will learn how to plan your IPv6 transition and how to use Python to automate setting the plan into action. You will learn about the must knows of IPv6 as well as useful Python libraries that can help you on this journey, and see practical real life Python examples of deploying IPv6 configurations in your network. Workflow decisions such as automated testing and sources of truth will also be covered. This session is designed for network engineers who have a need to start implementing IPv6. The session\u2019s target audience has little or no prior experience with Python automation and is fairly new to IPv6 as well. After the breakout, the attendees have a possibility to try the presented topics in practice through Capture the Flag missions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nDEVNET & Cisco U Sessions<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\nModern approaches for IOS XE network device management on Cat9k [DEVNET-1110]<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\nIf you manage any number of IOS XE devices directly then this session is for you because it will very quickly make you an expert in the operating system\u2019s Day0-N features so that you can manage the network more efficiently.
