Overview of the Automating Cisco Service Provider Solutions (SPAUTO) Exam
Network engineers and automation developers must demonstrate proficiency in implementing programmatic solutions across Cisco Service Provider infrastructures. The curriculum focuses on deploying network programmability using Python, Ansible, and REST APIs to interact with IOS-XR and IOS-XE platforms. Candidates implement model-driven telemetry, NETCONF, RESTCONF, and gRPC interfaces to facilitate automated configuration management. Mastery involves integrating Cisco Evolved Programmable Network Manager and WAN Automation Engine to orchestrate service delivery. Furthermore, the assessment validates the application of CI/CD pipelines, Git version control, and data serialization formats like YAML and JSON within scalable service provider environments to optimize operational efficiency and cross-domain service orchestration.
