Arista DevOps Day in the Life: Config Management and Validation

As part of a maturing NetDevOps practice, operators need confidence that configuration changes will not disrupt the network. Rolling back an erroneous network change could be “too late” to prevent disruption. Performing pre-validation checks on the configuration provides assurances that the changes are not introducing errors into the desired network behavior. In this session, Arista solutions engineer Fred Hsu demonstrates how Batfish network validation can be combined with Ansible and CloudVision to prevent a configuration error from being deployed into the network.
