BIG UPDATE FOR ALL FUTURE CCIEs 🚨 Cisco is officially transforming the CCIE practical lab exams with AI + Automation integration — and this change will be implemented across ALL CCIE tracks starting in 2027. This is one of the biggest shifts ever introduced in the CCIE program. Cisco has announced: ✅ New AI DOO (Deploy, Operate & Optimize) module ✅ AI-assisted workflows in practical exams ✅ CCIE Automation v1.2 updates ✅ Greater focus on APIs, Terraform & Infrastructure as Code ✅ Real-world automation & operational troubleshooting scenarios ✅ AI-driven network operations concepts integrated into expert-level certification This clearly confirms where the networking industry is heading next: ➡️ Networking + AI + Automation + Programmability + Observability The future CCIE engineer will not only configure networks… They will also need to: 🔹 Use AI-assisted operational workflows 🔹 Automate deployments and troubleshooting 🔹 Work with APIs & controllers 🔹 Understand Infrastructure as Code 🔹 Operate modern enterprise and data center fabrics efficiently 🔹 Troubleshoot faster using intelligent operational tools Cisco is now aligning CCIE with real-world enterprise environments where AI and automation are becoming part of daily network operations. One thing is now crystal clear: The era of “CLI-only” networking is slowly evolving into AI-assisted network engineering. If you are preparing for CCIE Security, Enterprise Infrastructure, or Data Center for 2026–2027 and beyond… Automation and AI skills are no longer optional. 🔥 Reference Blog: https://lnkd.in/gZ3kxkuv #CCIE #Cisco #AI #NetworkAutomation #DevNet #Networking #CCIESecurity #CCIEEnterprise #CCIEDatacenter #Terraform #Python #InfrastructureAsCode #AIOps #SDWAN #CiscoACI #NetworkEngineer #Automation #NetDevOps #CiscoLearning ##networkengineers
