I Rebuilt My Arista Lab Using ONLY Ansible… After One Week of Learning!
In this video I revisit my Arista lab, but this time I’m doing everything the smart way fully automated with Ansible. No manual CLI marathon, no repetitive configs… just clean automation. I walk through how I use my core playbook to deploy the entire MLAG core, then run my NAD playbook to configure the access switches. With a few variable tweaks in the host file, the whole setup is built in around five minutes. The wild part? I’ve only been learning Ansible for a week.
