On last Friday my college Jose Montero wrote an Ansible playbook using the module I wrote. He used this module for configuring Cisco PCE by the serial port giving only a few incoming parameters. The result was spectacular: he configured dozens of default CPE routers in a few hours.
Recently I wrote another playbook that configures all the equipment of our network for provisioning a customer VRF: a couple of MPLS PE, NAT servers, switches and several couples of BRAS in remote nodes. Some of these devices are Cisco, and some others are Netgear swtiches, Openwrt routers, etc., so the playbook is not Cisco dependant and configures different manufacturers devices. Do the VRF provision procedure by hand could take some hours, but with this playbook only take a few minutes.
The power of Networt Automation!
