DevNet Associate (DEVASC) v1.0Cisco Platforms and DevelopmentEasy
A developer needs to quickly test API calls to Cisco platforms without setting up dedicated infrastructure or purchasing physical devices. They require a pre-configured environment with sample data and API keys to experiment with integrations. Which Cisco resource is specifically designed for this purpose?
- ACisco Learning Network
- BCisco Live On Demand
- CCisco DevNet Sandbox
- DCisco dCloud
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Cisco DevNet Sandbox
The Cisco DevNet Sandbox provides free, on-demand, pre-configured environments with Cisco products and APIs. It's ideal for developers to test code, explore APIs, and learn about Cisco platforms without needing their own hardware or extensive setup.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Cisco Learning Network is for certification training and community, not API testing environments.
- B. Cisco Live On Demand provides recorded sessions from Cisco Live events.
- D. Cisco dCloud offers more complex, often multi-product, demo environments, but Sandbox is specifically for quick API testing.
