Juniper Networks Juniper Cloud Fundamentals

Skip to Scheduled Dates

Course Overview

This three-day course provides students with the foundational knowledge required to work with basic cloud components in a Juniper environment. The course summarizes cloud concepts, virtual networks, containerization, and cloud management. Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience in configuring and monitoring cloud automation tools and using various cloud configuration formats. Students will also become familiar with several cloud-native applications. Students will learn and better identify the Juniper solutions for cloud infrastructure, including virtualization (vSRX, vMX), and containerization (cSRX, cRPD).
