• Resumen

  • This proof-of-concept paper analyzes the ease of a programmability implementation inside modern VXLAN DC Spine-Leaf infrastructure through Ansible API, acting as controller configuration server, and Cumulus Linux as intermediate device Networking Operating System (NOS), conceiving what is called Open Networking Infrastructure. NetDevOps principles are used to demonstrate the implementation feasibility of this innovative sort of automated and programmatic topologies.
