F5 Networks introduced the Super-NetOps initiative, an industry training and community-based program aimed at evolving network operations functions and enabling application services to be delivered through a service model rather than a traditional, ticket-driven approach.
The goal of the Super-NetOps program is to help network operations professionals learn the skills necessary to standardize critical application services and provide them within automated toolchains. This will enable teams to reduce time to service from days to minutes, while ensuring all applications meet necessary compliance, policy, and performance standards.
“Network operations expertise is more important than ever. The cloud is driving exponential growth in applications, along with requirements that they be faster, more secure, and always available,” said Kara Sprague, SVP and GM of the Application Delivery Controller Business Unit at F5. “Super-NetOps will help network operations professionals build on their decades of experience deploying, managing, maintaining, and securing applications, and equip them to deliver the automation and agility needed by DevOps teams.”
F5 is launching a free, on-demand Super-NetOps training course with two modules covering DevOps methodologies and the concepts of automation, orchestration, and infrastructure-as-code. The training is delivered through a combination of video instruction and hands-on labs with guides to show participants how to deliver an application service in an automated toolchain. This online training augments the reach of live trainings F5 has piloted over the past several months and will continue to deliver all over the world.
In the coming months, F5 will roll out expanded curriculum incorporating security into automated deployment methodologies for the burgeoning DevSecOps role. The curriculum will also expand to address other fundamental topics such as agile methodologies, application language frameworks, and third-party automation toolchain enablement.
