The source of content goes to mostly Cisco Live & Cisco Validated Designs, but offcoruse it's just an extract of those information.
Feel free to share your idea, I'm always looking to improve this if I find any other material to add here.
Just wanted to point you to two excellent blog posts recently published by Russ White.
Reaction: DevOps and Dumpster Fires
If teaching coders isn’t going to solve the problem, then what do we do? We need to go to where the money is. Applications aren’t bought by coders, just like networks aren’t.Read more ...
Since 2.0, Multipod for ACI enables provisioning a more fault tolerant fabric comprised of multiple pods with isolated control plane protocols. Also, multipod provides more flexibility with regard to the full mesh cabling between leaf and spine switches. When leaf switches are spread across different floors or different buildings, multipod enables provisioning multiple pods per floor or building and providing connectivity between pods through spine switches.
A new White Paper on ACI Multipod is now available

Last week I was in Dublin for business which just so happened to overlap with iNOG9, which was last Wednesday. As luck would have it, I had the opportunity to speak at iNOG9 about network automation.
You can watch the video if you want to see the presentation, but the three mini demos I gave were:
Few words about each.
Usually when the topic of network automation comes up, configuration management is assumed. It should not be as there are so many other forms and types of automation. Here I showed how we can verify cabling (via neighbors) is accurate on a Junos vMX topology. Of course, the hard part here is having the discipline to define the desired cabling topology first. Note: links for sample playbooks can be found below on the GitHub repo.
I built a custom Ansible module built around NETCONF (ncclient), but uses the OpenConfig YANG model for global BGP configuration. For example, this is the Continue reading
