Getting Started¶
This example outlines how to use arista.cvp
to create a containers topology on Arista CloudVision.
A complete end to end demo using Arista Validated Design collection and CloudVision modules is available as an example.
Below is a very basic example to build a container topology on a CloudVision platform assuming:
- create a tree of containers
- Move devices under
MLAG01
container - Create configlets with MLAG devices configuration
- Attach configlets to device.
