HN781: CCIE Service Provider Free Workbook & Track Update

The podcast explores the CCIE Service Provider track, contrasting it with the Enterprise Infrastructure track. Guest Andrew Ohanian, a network engineer, shares insights into why the SP track offers a deeper dive into routing and forwarding mechanisms, with less Cisco-proprietary content. He notes the SP track's relevance to industries like cloud and data center providers due to its focus on technologies like segment routing and EVPN. Ohanian highlights the practical aspects of SP, such as CLI-based automation and virtualized lab environments, and recommends resources for those starting in service provider networking, including his free CCIE SP workbook. The discussion also covers job opportunities and the value of the CCIE SP certification.
