Cisco Open APIs for Network Device Programmability with Kevin Kuhls

Kevin Kuhls, TME Enterprise Solutions at Cisco, gives an overview of open APIs. These are available on network devices. Something besides CLI (Command Line Interface) actually does exist! In this introductory talk, he discusses open APIs for use in environments to support configuration management, along with the ability to retrieve (or stream) operational data. He also discusses protocols/encodings (NETCONF/RESTCONF and XML/JSON) along with how the data from devices are described through YANG with IETF/OpenConfig/Native models.
