Arista Automation Workshops¶
The Arista CI Workshops are intended for engineers looking to learn the fundamentals of automation tools and get hands-on experience deploying network-wide configurations with Arista Validated Designs (AVD). The workshops are split into two in-person sessions, allowing time to grasp the basic automation concepts before moving into building Data Models to deploy AVD. The content on this site is an overview of the topics we will cover in person with full details and examples.
Note
The workshops are meant to be leveraged within an Arista Test Drive (ATD) lab. You may follow along using a personal environment; additional setup may apply.
-
Automation Fundamentals
This lab covers the commonly used automation tools, GIT, VSCode, Jinja/YAML, and Ansible.
-
CI/AVD L2LS
This lab utilizes AVD to completely automate the building and documentation of a dual data center, layer 2 leaf-spine fabric, without configuring anything at the command line.
-
CI/AVD L3LS EVPN/VXLAN
This lab utilizes AVD to completely automate the building and documentation of a dual data center, layer 3 leaf-spine fabric, with an EVPN/VXLAN overlay and EVPN gateway functionality, without configuring anything at the command line.
-
CI/CD Basics
This lab walks through the basics of CI/CD pipelines and GitHub actions for creating CI workflows.
-
Arista Network Test Automation
This lab covers automating network validation by using ANTA both as a standalone tool at the cli, or with the AVD Validate State role, to perform automated network testing both before and after deploying changes to a network fabric.
