SD-WAN with Contrail Service Orchestration (SD-CSO) Course Overview

The SD-WAN with Contrail Service Orchestration (SD-CSO) course is an in-depth training program designed to provide learners with a comprehensive understanding of how to deploy, manage, and troubleshoot Juniper's SD-WAN solution using Contrail Service Orchestration. The course is structured into eight modules, each focusing on different aspects of the SD-WAN technology and its orchestration.

Starting with an introduction to the basics of software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV), the course progresses to a detailed exploration of Juniper’s CSO solution, including its architecture and components. Learners will gain practical knowledge through lessons on CSO user interfaces, SD-WAN deployment models, Secure OAM, Dynamic VPN, AppQoE, intent-based policies, and SD-WAN SLA policies.

Further modules guide students through the configuration process, from setting up deployment workflows and hubs to configuring application routing and firewall policies. For advanced learners, the course also covers standalone and brownfield NGFW deployments. Administration and monitoring techniques, along with role-based access control and reporting features, are also part of the curriculum.

Upon completion, participants will possess the skills necessary to effectively implement and manage an SD-WAN using Contrail Service Orchestration, making them valuable assets in network management and operations.
