Partner POV | AI-powered App Segmentation: Unlocking Zero Trust at Scale
Imagine a castle surrounded by strong stone walls and a deep moat designed to keep unwanted visitors out. The drawbridge is tightly guarded, and all of the focus is placed on making sure no one from the outside gets in. But what happens when someone crosses the bridge? Inside the castle walls, it's a free for all. There are no locked doors, no security for treasures, and no checks on where people roam. Similarly, in many IT environments, once a user connects to the network, they often gain broad access to applications and data, with little control over what happens inside.

Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 1
This lab is the Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 1, and after completion, the student can launch Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 2 to complete the entire lab. The lab uses the ACI virtual simulator based on ACI Version 6.1(3f), emulating an APIC, 2 leafs, and a spine. Part 2 uses a shared physical ACI fabric to complete the policy and verify data plane connectivity.
The ACI Virtual Simulator was needed to demo the building of the ACI fabric from scratch, bootstrapping the APIC, adding the spine and leafs, fabric discovery, and completing VMM integration. Since the Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab, Part 2 is a shared on-demand environment, to decouple the APIC build process from the APIC policy creation. Due to limitations, the virtual ACI fabric is a control plane-only simulator, and no data plane testing (Ping, SSH) can get done for validation. Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 2 uses a Tenant inside of a physical ACI, and data plane functionality can get tested ( Ping, SSH)
