<div>Dear NOG-gers with an interest in Software Defined Networking (SDN):</div>
<div>
<p>The <a href="http://www.anzsdn.net/">ANZ-SDN Alliance</a>, with support from the
<a href="https://www.opennetworking.org/">Open Networking Foundation</a>, is proud to offer a 5-day hands-on intensive SDN training workshop in Sydney during the week of 28 Nov – 2 Dec. This workshop is meant for network operators,
<b>not</b> software developers. The aim is to learn how to set up and operate an OpenFlow based environment for various applications such as routing, firewalling, and traffic classification. You will operate an OpenFlow switch by manipulating its flow-table
rules, and you will install and configure SDN controllers for the enterprise and carrier networks (Faucet and ONOS respectively). The training workshop will be hands-on, vendor-neutral (we will be using OpenFlow compliant switches from Noviflow, Allied-Telesys,
and NorthBoundNetworks), and you will also have the opportunity to obtain formal SDN certifications from the ONF.</p>
<p>Please note that this is a <b>paid</b> workshop. The cost of the 5-day workshop is AU$5500 (GST inclusive), and it includes the SDN training and certification offered by the ONF – namely the ONF certified SDN Associate (OCSA) and the ONF certified SDN Engineer
(OCSE). Individual days of the workshops can also be availed of (at a price of $1100 per-day), but participants need to be aware of the pre-requisites and assumed prior knowledge for each day. The workshop details and registration are visible from the ANZ-SDN
Alliance main web-page or you can directly go through to the event page: <a href="http://www.anzsdn.net/index.php/event/sdn-hands-on-training-and-certification/">http://www.anzsdn.net/index.php/event/sdn-hands-on-training-and-certification/</a></p>
<p>Due to the hands-on nature of this workshop, spaces are strictly limited - so please register as soon as possible via the event registration/payment link above.</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Vijay</p>
