Campus Configuration: Assembled
Explore how to automate full campus network configuration management by using assembled Ansible playbooks. Understand the benefits of compiling tasks to optimize execution time while maintaining accuracy. Learn to run playbooks in check mode for safe execution and how to integrate these processes into a continuous deployment workflow.
We'll cover the following...
The complete configuration management of a device can be accomplished. We can use the same templates, but utilize a different playbook task (assemble) to compile a single task. The advantage is that only a single configuration change is made per device, optimizing the execution time.
However, there are a few drawbacks. They are primarily the loss of control over the scope of the tasks and visibility into the playbook at execution time.
