How to Build a Spine and Leaf Fabric with Ansible

Introduction Within this article we will be exploring the world of Ansible and how it can be used to automate the network. We will start with automating the provisioning of an L3 spine and leaf fabric. Once complete we will then automate the connectivity testing across the fabric. Let's go... Topology The topology of the network we will be automating is shown below. Figure 1 - Topology. At a high level our topology will be configured based upon the following: * Spine and leaf. * OSPF L3
