She is a genious! I was here for a simple understanding of ACI for my CCNA R&S, but damn this is very broadly explained. I respect this woman and hope to reach the knowledge she has one day at Cisco. Good video!

I tried to watch this back in 2015, 2016, 2017 and could not for the life of me understand it. I was an enterprise network engineer, didn't really work with DC technologies like vSphere, storage, nexus switches. Now I'm studying for CCNP Datacenter and work with VMware NSX on a daily basis. All of this makes sense now. Its crazy to me that this tech existed in 2015 and she has such a strong command of the architecture. I think I'm just in awe and having a moment when you understand something clearly that you did not understand previously. I'm even watching it at 1.75 speed and following everything.

I absolutely love this video. Not only because how clearly and cleanly she explained the architecture with practical examples. But the guys in then audience asked all the questions that were popping on my mind as I was watching this. It's as if I was represented in the class. Just awesome. And I was blown away when I realised allnthiswas explained and discussed in such a casual flow in only 30min. Clean and precise 👌👏👏👏👏👏

This video is a good example that if you make any training interactive then it is really fun learning. I do appreciate the audience participation here. They are good. Instructor is too good.

[@izharkazmi]

Fabulous explanation.

[@juggyvplacetobe7679]

That is the neatest whiteboard I have ever seen! Having just learnt about SD Access I thought I better brush up on this also. I think I need to watch it a couple of times to ensure I understand it all.

Real good..the first time I see someone explain VMM Domain to VSphere DataCenter mapping properly ...

Great stuff. Carly, thanks for the excellent explanation. Your GK courses were very helpful in 7K, kudos!

[@edwardkehoe]

Excellent explanation! I'm rather new to this but fantastic job and video.

[@daisyypoon]

I need to refresh some of my technical concepts, I google about Switched Fabric and it took me here. I certainly enjoying see fellow female engineer training a group of men.

The explanation of the fundamental ACI was really clear. Hopefully, I will be able to become an expert in this field in the future. Najib BSN (Malaysia)
