Software upgrades are a common practice to provide new functionality and upgrade to a newly supported version of the software. This is the case for ConfD upgrades, they are necessary in order to benefit from new functionality or to apply bug fixes. An upgrade can be driven by a new version of ConfD, changes in YANG data models and application code, or a combination of both. Understanding ConfD upgrade best practices is an essential tool in your ConfD toolkit.

Download our new “Upgrading ConfD and the CDB Schema” application note which discusses common ConfD software upgrade scenarios and addresses some challenges and problems that can arise if not planned for ahead of time.

Webinar: NMDA

IETF standards evolve as real-world experience is gained. As a result, network element vendors are also encouraged to evolve, in order to adopt the latest standards and to maintain interoperability and feature completeness. NMDA is one example of such evolution. NMDA helps extend the original set of NETCONF datastores by adding two new datastores: Intended and Operational.

Join us on Thursday, May 13, 2021, for our "Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA)" webinar to learn not only the purpose of these new datastores but also:

New extensions defined for NETCONF and RESTCONF to support NMDA
How NMDA can have an effect on how YANG modules are written
How NMDA is supported in ConfD

When: Thursday, May 13, 2021, at 10:00 am PDT/1:00 pm EDT (60-minute webinar).
