Inspiring network engineers and developers

Cisco DevNet is Cisco’s comprehensive home for resources for network engineers and developers working on Cisco platforms. With Cisco solutions, you can innovate and build to deliver applications or infrastructure with reliable, secure networks and systems. The core group consuming Cisco DevNet resources include network engineers using automation, SREs or DevOps practitioners observing application performance and security, and enterprise software developers.

Cisco DevNet supports these technical practitioners with tools and products such as APIs, data models, API documentation, hands-on Learning Labs, live-tech Sandboxes, and developer-focused events. The DevNet program continues to thrive after ten years, addressing core needs of network engineers seeking to automate interactions with network equipment. DevNet is a vibrant community that continues to provide expertise, documentation, and learning experiences for members.

The DevNet story: 10 Years of enabling users to learn, code, and build The DevNet Story began when a gritty, startup-minded group of Cisconians set out to teach network engineers how to automate tasks and systems with APIs. Ten years on, DevNet has created a legacy of enabling users to think like developers and improve their systems. And, we’re just getting started. To celebrate a decade of DevNet, we created an interactive timeline to celebrate you, our users, and rally for 10+ more years of learning, coding, and building.
