Arista Networks (NYSE:ANET) today announced a comprehensive
network automation solution with the Arista Continuous Integration
(CI) Pipeline. Built on Arista's EOS Network Data Lake (NetDL™),
the Arista CI Pipeline helps enterprise customers adopt a modern
network operating model. This approach delivers an agile,
data-driven change management process for the network, enabling
faster, more reliable deployment with reduced operational time and
expense.
"Leveraging the Arista Validated Designs network automation
framework with CloudVision, we rapidly matured our operations
through infrastructure-as-code. With up-to-date documentation and
validation test cases, the team configures new network services
easily and consistently," said Gary Nye, Manager of Cloud
Engineering, US Signal Company.
A modern network operating model provides operational efficiency
and cost savings. It is based on cloud networking principles,
including repeatable design patterns, automated operations via
software control, and an open, flexible architecture. To achieve
this operating model, enterprises may attempt to build their own
automation infrastructure but often struggle with the required
resourcing, skill sets, and associated maintenance effort.
This new Arista CI Pipeline addresses these challenges, enabling
enterprises to achieve a modern network operating model, consisting
of:
- Continuous design
- Continuous integration
- Continuous testing
Continuous Design
Arista’s Validated Designs (AVD) are design principles
consumable as code, providing a continuous design framework. As a
part of the Arista CI Pipeline, AVDs accelerate the transformation
of our customer's operating model and improve the reliability of
customer networks with the following benefits:
- Flexibility with Open Data Models: Extensible
fabric-wide network models, simplifying configuration, delivering
consistency, and reducing errors
- Simplification through Multi-Domain Automation: A
framework that can automate the data center, campus or WAN, enabled
by a consistent EOS software image and management platform
- Comprehensive Workflows: Automating the full life cycle
of network provisioning from config generation to pre and
post-deployment validation, and self-documentation of the
network
AVD inputs can be fed directly into CloudVisionⓇ for
provisioning a network through CloudVision automation, studios, and
dashboards and for use with open-source / 3rd party automation
solutions, such as Red Hat’s Ansible Automation Platform.
“Red Hat is delighted to continue our collaboration with Arista
to bring the benefits of automation to network developers and
operators to further transform enterprises and industries. The
Arista CI Pipeline with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform
provides enterprise architecture and ops-as-code, streamlining
tasks for provisioning, deployment and validation,” said Tom
Anderson, Vice President, Red Hat Ansible Automation, Red Hat.
Continuous Integration
Continuous Integration provides an advanced DevOps environment
for managing network operations and change control workflows.
Leveraging the CloudVision platform, CI is a packaged solution that
simplifies and streamlines the execution of a Continuous
Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) workflow for network
automation by providing:
- An easy-to-deploy, packaged solution to operate a CI pipeline
for network operations
- Enhancements to CloudVision’s change control to facilitate a
complete CI/CD operations workflow to facilitate pre/post
validation testing
- The ability to push and pull test results and AVD models into
EOS NetDL
- Enhanced integration for external DevOps and CI tools
By using CloudVision and NetDL, a data lake extending the EOS
state database to a broad aperture and data set of configuration
and telemetry data, users can easily customize their workflows
while taking advantage of having access to all the information
stored in NetDL for data-driven automation.
Continuous Testing
Arista’s Cloud Test services provide a cloud-based virtual
environment to test network designs and configurations. As a
component of the Arista Networks CI Pipeline, examples of Cloud
Test include:
- Change control testing
- Code certification testing
- Automation testing
By creating a digital twin of a customer’s network using a
virtualized version of the same EOS and CloudVision software as is
deployed on physical devices, network operators can develop
confidence in their proposed deployment changes without having to
create a separate physical test environment.
"Through Arista’s infrastructure-as-code approach to networking,
Computacenter has elevated our game by adopting a programmable,
agile service delivery model. This enables us to deliver secure,
efficient, and consistent network services to our customers,” said
Michael Davidson, Chief Technologist, Computacenter.
Availability
Arista CI Pipeline delivers a combination of continuous designs,
continuous integration, and continuous testing to bring a holistic
DevOps solution for modernizing the operating model of enterprise
networks. This results in a faster, more reliable, and cloud-like
experience for network operators and their users.
The Arista CI suite is in trials and will be available in 2023.
Arista Professional Services are available to deploy these
solutions. Additionally, all the above software offerings are fully
supported by Arista TAC globally.
