Developing Applications for ONOS

• Basic understanding of software-defined networking (SDN)
• Familiarity with Java programming
• Basic experience with Linux command-line tools

Audience

• SDN developers
• Network engineers looking to build custom applications on the ONOS platform

ONOS (Open Network Operating System) is an open-source SDN controller designed for high availability, performance, and scalability. It provides a robust platform for building network applications that can simplify network operations and enhance programmability.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level SDN developers and network engineers who wish to develop custom applications on the ONOS platform to address specific network challenges and enhance SDN capabilities.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the architecture and core components of ONOS.
• Set up a development environment for ONOS applications.
• Create, test, and deploy ONOS applications for managing SDN networks.
• Integrate ONOS applications with external systems and APIs.
• Troubleshoot and optimize ONOS applications for performance and scalability.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
