This is a five day hands-on course on Cisco SD-WAN Cloud Configuration, Monitoring and Troubleshooting. This course starts out with an overview (AWS, GCP, AZURE) networking components that are needed to provide student with the base knowledge to connect SD-WAN to the Cloud Providers. Students then learn how to connect Cisco SD-WAN to AWS, AZURE, and GCP using SD-WAN Multicloud. Student then use SD-WAN to connect to Pre-Built SaaS Applications, as well as custom SaaS Applications. Students will also learn about Software-Defined Cloud Interconnect (SDCI), students will then learn how to connect to SDCI using MegaPort, Equinix and Google Cloud. Lastly students will learn how to Configure SDWAN Co-Locations .

The software applications that are covered in this course include:

• Cisco SD-WAN
