Arista Automation increases proficiency both conceptually and operationally for the deployment, operation, and management of various Arista EOS based networks using several tools such as CloudVision, Python with EOS API’s and the open-source Arista AVD (Architect, Validate, Deploy). Arista AVD uses Arista best practices to generate configurations for various types of environments and topologies, including Layer 2 Leaf/Spine, Layer 3 Leaf/Spine with EVPN/VXLAN, and MPLS. Candidates will learn how to build data models, deploy configurations through Arista CloudVision, and perform post-deployment validations using the AVD validation tools.
