Arista Validated Designs (AVD) is an extensible data model that defines Arista's Unified Cloud Network architecture as "code".
AVD Documentation:
- Flexibility with Open Data Models: Extensible fabric-wide network models, simplifying configuration, delivering consistency, and reducing errors
- Simplification through Multi-Domain Automation: A framework that can automate the data center, campus or wide area network, enabled by a consistent EOS software image and management platform
- Comprehensive Workflows: Automating the full life cycle of network provisioning from config generation to pre and post-deployment validation, and self-documentation of the network
Arista Networks supports Ansible for managing devices running Arista's Extensible Operating System (EOS) natively through it's EOS API (eAPI) or CloudVision Portal (CVP). The collection includes a set of Ansible roles and modules to help kick-start your automation with Arista. The various roles and templates provided are designed to be customized and extended to your needs.
