NO,
only external real HW DNAC can be deployed using cloud network, but as virtual node DNAC is impossible

Is anyone using Cisco DNA Center? I do not see the market need for it however it looks like Cisco is doing a forced integration with forcing to buy the licensing with new hardware. I'm having a hard time envisioning a Market need for it other than very large enterprises. Is anyone in large or medium shifting their upcoming hardware purchases because of this to say Aruba, Extreme or Arista?

I managed to install DNAC in my Esxi with (CPU -14core intel i9-10940X - Ram 60 GB , storage 1Tb SSD ) and connected with EVE-ng VM but the problem its need a cisco CCO credentials (Cisco manager account)

Hi Guys
Yes you can run Cisco DNA Center software using ESXi. I saw a demo of this however I no longer have access to Cisco Image due to my contract ending.
If someone could somehow be able to obtain or share its image (maybe upload it here) I would be happy to team up with you and build it.

Thanks
Mike

For this guy you will need more resources but you are on the right track....can you share the version of DNAC you were using?

Thanks
