Release MetroÆ v3.0.0b1 Croxley Beta1 · nuagenetworks/nuage-metroae

Release 3.0.0b1

Removal of build_vars.yml There is no longer a single monolithic configuration file for MetroÆ. Configuration is specified through deployments. A tool is provided to convert an obsolete build_vars.yml file to a deployment. See CUSTOMIZE.md for details on deployments.
Removal of build The user no longer needs to issue the build playbook. This will be handled automatically and seamlessly by the MetroÆ tool. MetroÆ also tracks changes and will skip steps not required if configuration is unmodified.
Schema validation of deployment data All configuration specified in a deployment is automatically validated against json-schema.org schemas. This ensures that all required fields are set and every field has the correct syntax. Any error will be found as early as possible and a specific error message will call out the exact problem.
Workflows instead of playbooks To simplify usage, the concept of a playbook is being replaced by a workflow. The .yml extension is no longer required. Thus, issue vsd_deploy instead of vsd_deploy.yml. The MetroÆ tool is renamed from metro-ansible to metroae. It now supports different arguments, including --list which displays all supported workflows.
Cleanup of repo The MetroÆ repository has been cleaned. Only tools useful for users are present in the root directory. The internal workings of the tool have been moved to sub-directories like src/.

The following components/operations are not supported in the beta release.
