I did it… 11 videos recorded - the entire series - in less than a week!
I will be uploading and publishing content as I finish the post-production work, so rather than the weeks it took between videos during the first series, I’m hoping post one or two videos a day.
In this video, I discuss the prerequisites for our lab including recommendations on code, topology considerations, issues, caveats, and other bits and bobs that hopefully make your experience a bit easier.
This video ends with our lab topology in place, the Apstra 4.2.1 server online and configured, and our vJunos nodes prepped for Apstra onboarding.
If you want to download my eve-ng lab topology so you can import it and save some time, it is available through the Juniper Elevate Community link at the top of this description. That thread also contains links to relevant downloads, a .jpg image of my topology, and other useful stuff.
Thanks again for watching and for your feedback! I don't have to make these videos - they aren't strictly part of my job - I just really enjoy helping folks and at least for me, I learn by teaching others (along with all the lessons and mistakes I have to overcome along the way).

would you be interested in doing some consulting? I need help setting this up for my company's lab. We have the budget for your services.

I'm a Juniper FTE. I can't do side-hustle stuff like this and keep my job. Sorry, but I'm hoping the video series alone gets you where you need to be. That's why I created it!

@@5minutejunos yes the video was great. I am a Cisco guy my whole carreer hoping to get confidence on this new Platform JunOS

It’s starting again. You didn’t talk about the service chain last time.

[@5minutejunos]

Fair enough, but now I actually work on the global security sales team, so explaining how service chaining works is my job :)
I'll get something together in Q2, I promise.
