How can you use Pydantify?

Once you try a jinja-less automation experience, returning to the dark ages is hard. All you want is more of the same. This video is a part 2 of the YANG-based model-driven network automation introduced in    • Network automation with YANG and Python is...   , where we build more elaborated use cases with Pydantify. We start by first parametrizing the configuration and using functions to decompose the task of creating a configuration object. Then, we introduce custom classes to add methods to build relationships between individual configuration components. Next, we look into the testing aspects and introduce simple pytest harness to demonstrate how classes can be tested for positive and negative cases. And finishing off with the Nornir-based concurrent provisioning of an ISIS lab without a single line of templating. We are looking forward for others to give Pydantify a try and share their experience. We have hashtag#bof-yang channel in the NAF slack where we can help you get on the path of yang-based automation ☯️ Repository with examples: https://github.com/srl-labs/pydantic-...
