Testing and validation scripts and playbooks for Cumulus Linux Workshops

NVIDIA Cumulus Linux Virtual Workshop (aka Test Drive) Automation - cumulus-test-drive

This repository holds automation scripts for the NVIDIA Cumulus Linux Virtual Workshop (aka Test Drive) Lab.

This repository is cloned by the oob-mgmt-server-customizations.sh script (located in the repository here) in order to create the Test-Drive-Automation directory on the oob-mgmt-server. This is done during the CI/CD workflow to create the base snapshot and cloned simulation for testing purposes.

The attendees of the event use this automation during two steps that are documented in the lab guide.

The first step in the lab guide is to run the ansible playbook start-lab.yml to set up the base configuration for the servers in the lab. The lab3.yml is run at the completetion of Lab 2 in order to provide a configuration that removes the interswitch links from leaf01-leaf02 so that BGP routing through the spine01 switch can be configured and tested.

The lab guide is available upon request and is provided to the attendees of the event through the marketing channel.

Configurations and a script to fully test a new NVIDIA Cumulus Linux Virtual Workshop (aka Test Drive)

This repository is meant to be cloned into the /home/ubuntu directory on the oob-mgmt-server. Once cloned, change directories into the /home/ubuntu/virt-workshop-testing directory and execute:

./runtests.sh

The script will run and send all output to the console. This output can be checked to see if all ping, traceroute and other verification steps complete properly.

Prerequisites

1. Run the CI/CD workflow located here.
2. The CI/CD workflow will create a snapshot and a live simulation (clone) in order to test the snapshot.
3. Use the live simulation and login to its oob-mgmt-server.
