Fala galera beleza?
Faz um tempo que não falo sobre o GNS3, porém a plataforma anda investindo muito na área de learning e uma novidade que vai chegar no próximo mês é o GNS3 Certified Associate, certificação que irá validar as habilidades dos candidatos na utilização do emulador, além de uma série de funções como a utilização de docker, emulação multivendor, Ansible, SDN e mais.
