• Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and REST APIs--APIs are published instructions to interface with a product or service
• Continuous Integration/Continuous Development (CICD)--a CICD system provides automated builds and tests for creating software, making configuration changes, or completing other deployment tasks
• Data formats (XML, JavaScript Object Notation [JSON], YAML Ain’t Markup Language [YAML])--common data formats that are both machine-readable and human-readable for providing input to programs and applications using interfaces (APIs)
• DevOps--a combination of Development (Dev) and Operations (Ops), DevOps focuses on automation, regularly allowing failures that can be automatically fixed with mitigated risks, as well as connecting business outcomes to the availability goals for a given system
• Infrastructure, containers, and virtual machines--infrastructure is a generic term for the underlying devices, physical or virtual, that provide computing power or storage capacity or networks, used to deliver software or applications
• network data models (YANG, RESTCONF, NETCONF)--YANG is a data modeling language for configuration and state data for network devices.
• Python--a general-purpose, interpreted programming language. Python emphasizes code readability with whitespace requirements, so it’s approachable and powerful
• Software Development Kit (SDK)--A platform for writing programs and applications targeting an API.

You’ll also get access to a robust set of online interactive learning tools, including review questions, a bonus practice exam, flashcards, and a glossary of key terms. This Study Guide is your one-stop resource to taking your career to the next level!
