Fast Arista cEOS Container Configuration
Exploring Arista cEOS, the author attempted to replicate a speedup achieved with FRR containers by mapping host-side configurations into container scripts, utilizing the FastCli command to handle EOS configuration snippets.
MAIN POINTS
- Attempted to replicate FRR container speedup with Arista cEOS.
- Arista allows running its software on standard Linux.
- Netlab-generated EOS configurations are device snippets for EOS CLI.
- FastCli command in Arista cEOS aids in executing configurations.
TAKEAWAYS
- Arista cEOS can potentially be optimized like FRR containers.
- Host-side configurations can be mapped into container scripts.
- FastCli is a valuable tool for handling EOS configurations.
- Netmiko documentation remains a secondary consideration for this project.
