Example of a simple NetDev CI pipeline with Gitlab.
-
Gitlab pipeline uses local runner and virtual Python environment.
-
Pipeline scripts rely on Python Invoke tasks in
tasks.py -
Pre-checks run with Python pre-commit.
- Prepare environment (Python venv and dependencies)
- Static checks (black and ansible-lint)
- Deploy lab using Ansible, Docker and vrnetlab
- Configure connections (Docker + vrnetlab) and apply config with Ansible + Napalm
- Validate deployment using Ansible and Napalm validate
- Tear down the lab
