2024-11-18 , Auditorium

This year we deployed a new data center fabric from scratch. A requirement was to use different vendors with different nos. In addition we use Ansible for the whole configuration.

This talk is about:

  • how to efficiently use Netbox with Ansible
  • using Ansible with multi vendor equipment
  • challenges building a multi vendor EVPN fabric from scratch
