Why is Cisco Teaching Me Python?
Is learning topics related to programmable networks - like Python, JSON, REST APIs - really critical to your success as a network engineer?
DevNet
Cisco DevNet is your hub for building the next generation of intelligent infrastructure with agentic AI. Discover how AI agents can call Cisco APIs, reason over network data, and take action on their own, with hands-on guides to Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, agent frameworks, and the SDKs that connect them to real Cisco platforms.
Go beyond scripts and playbooks with AI-driven network automation that can detect issues, recommend fixes, and run multi-step workflows across your environment. Learn how to apply shift left security to agentic systems, from guarding AI-generated code to setting guardrails on what autonomous agents are allowed to do. You’ll also find patterns, sample code, and best practices for enterprise application development where AI agents work alongside your teams.
Explore the latest from the Cisco DevNet community below, and join a global network of developers turning AI ideas into working code.
