What is DEVASC, a new question actually,
DEVNET Associate from Cisco Systems is their first
DEVOPS derived
DEVNET certificate that was announced on June 9th - 2019.
it is the first version of the
DEVASC exam that grants the Cisco Certified
DEVNET Associate certificate,
and has the exam number of
200-901
DEVASC was not the only exam announced from Cisco regarding
DEVNET, an entire new domain of knowledge and hierarchy was there as well.
DEVASC would be your first step in that hierarchy, then you will see
DEVNET Professional which contains so many exams inside it.
one of them is mandatory, and a selective one of the others is required to become a
CCDevP, that will be for another blog.
and the highest peak is the recently officially announced
CCDevE, an 8-Hours LAB exam to validate how expert you are with Cisco
DEVNET.
Is DEVASC Important?
not just because it is a fresh branch, or not something that is generally provided by other vendors, but because the agenda of the
DEVASC are very useful.
they do as always with Cisco, start from scratch telling you what is
DEVOPS, DEVNET, DEVASC, and start learning all the basics of:
- Data Encoding
- API's and SDK's
- Automating Cisco Platforms
and of course the famous and most desired nowadays "Python"
all from scratch, up to a level where you can use them well in a real environment and be eager to take the next
DEVNET step to develop your automation skills even more.
DEVASC and other Associate exams
Nowadays, there are only 3 Associate exams and certificates from Cisco:
the
DEVASC and
CCNA are related and one needs the other.
each of them had a specific module where it mentions and maybe practices the technologies of the other.
That will be the "Automation & Programmability" module in the
CCNA, and the "Network Fundamentals" module in
DEVASC.
but the CyberOps Associate is away from here, not a familiar topics with
DEVNET.
Enjoy and get Certified
