Network automation project - Sridhar Rao , Jie Niu - 30 min

  • The idea come up in the CIRV meeting – presentation by @jie niuon the network configuration automation tool project.  Based on work that is being done by China Telecom and previously by OPNFV

  • In a real world cloud deployment the following steps are required

    • HW integration

    • Network configuration

      • Configuration of network devices based on network planning

    • Cloud deployment

    • App deployment

  • So what is in the network configuration spec

    • Topology requirements

    • aggregation switch configuration

    • TOR configuration

    • VRF-s ... (rest is on the slides)

  • Tools – Recommending using Ansible for the scripting – Can it be some other tool?  How can the text template be more generic to support other tools?  Is that even possible?

    • Ansible have a network module what can support lots of network devices

  • Participants

    • There are already 2 persons from CMCC who are willing to work on the project

    • Sridhar might be also interested

    • Would suggest seeing if another Telecom is interested contributing to this project.

  • Questions

    • Is Ansible a design decision of the tool or the tool can produce an abstract output what can be translated to different automation frameworks, like Ansible, Puppet or whatever
