Datacenter Automation with Ansible
11-07, 13:00–15:00 (Europe/Berlin), Workshop Room 4

From 0 to a full blown EVPN/VXLAN leaf-spine datacenter deployment in <2h? Sounds like a fairy tale.
In this workshop Patrick will show you interactively (participants get there own enviornment) how to define and configure a datacenter design in YAML and Ansible based on the Arista Validated Deisgn. It includes a set of ansible roles and modules to help kick-start your automation.


What should participants bring to your workshop?
  • Unrestricted internet access
  • Knowledge of Linux
  • Understanding of networking (VLAN/VXLAN/EVPN)
  • Browser (ideally Chrome/Chromium)

Florian joined Arista in 2017 and is leading the Systems Engineering team in Germany since 2021. Before his time at Arista he held technical and management positions at SPs and IXPs over the past 17 years, so his knowledge stretches from Engineering over Architecture and Strategic topics. Since the very beginning he has been engaged with the global internet community. In addition to his day job Florian also has been elected as the Deputy Chairman of the Board for DENOG e.V.
