Cisco Platform Abstraction (CPA) is a model-driven, administrative platform software development kit (SDK) created by Cisco developers that disaggregates software and hardware from a Network Operating System (NOS) like Cisco IOS XE. CPA streamlines the work of the hardware development team, the diagnostics team, and the platform team, saving time and money for development.

Containerized applications and edge computing have advanced app hosting. The Cisco IOS XE team created a platform for the development, deployment, and management of apps on Cisco enterprise and IoT devices.
