Cisco Open NX-OS Programmability Book Sprint

Yesterday a new Book Sprint started at the Cisco’s System Campus in Milpitas, California. During five days, ten Cisco’ engineers are pooling together their expertise to co-write the Open NX-OS programmability guide (Camden specifics).

Discussing the outline

Cisco has opened up its NX-OS, making it more programmable than ever. The NX-OS is a network operating system designed by Cisco to support high performance and high reliability server access switches used in data centers.

The guide will address the NX-OS programmability advantages and extensibility. The aim is to provide support to users and costumers in how to program and automate their networks switches with the same tools and workflow as their servers.

This first day opened with a vivid conversation to define the manual scope, the target audience and its structure. The first sections are being written up.
