Deploying C8000v on Cloud (AWS, Azure and GCP)

Details in Deploying C8000v

Cloning repo

Clone the sdwan-devops repo using the main branch (default: origin/main):

git clone --single-branch --recursive https://github.com/ciscodevnet/sdwan-devops.git

Make sure you use --recursive to also clone folders sdwan-edge and terraform-sdwan.

All operations are run out of the sdwan-devops directory: cd sdwan-devops

C8000v AWS AMI

To find Image id:

  • Go to the AWS Marketplace page
  • search for the image called: 'Cisco Catalyst 8000V Edge Software - BYOL'
  • Click on the image title.
  • Click Continue to Subscribe button.
  • Click Continue to Configuration button.
  • Verify Fulfillment Option, Software Version, and Region values. Changing any of these can change the Ami Id.
  • Find and save the Ami Id - this will be used in the config.yml configuration file in the next section.

Configure parameters

All parameters are defined in a single configuration file named config.yaml under folder config.

Go to the config directory

  • copy config.example.yaml to config.yaml
  • Update required parameters, most likely your ssh_public_key, controllers and wan-edge ami image identifiers as well as wan-edge UUIDs.

Define environnement variables

Go to the bin folder.

Update your credentials in file minimal_env.sh.

Set environnement variables (make sure to use source ....)

source minimal_env.sh

Config Builder

With bin as your current folder, build all ansible parameter files:

./config_build.sh

This will render parameter files for ansible playbooks based on config/config.yaml and jinja templates:

  • Ansible day-1 vars: 'config/templates/day-1_local.j2' -> '../ansible/day_-1/group_vars/all/local.yml'
  • Ansible day_0 vars: 'config/templates/day0_local.j2' -> '../ansible/day_0/group_vars/all/local.yml'
  • Ansible day_1 vars: 'config/templates/day1_local.j2' -> '../ansible/day_1/group_vars/all/local.yml'
  • Ansible SDWAN inventory: 'config/templates/sdwan_inventory.j2' -> '../ansible/inventory/sdwan_inventory.yml'

Deploy C8000v

With bin as your current folder, deploy the C8000v:

install_edges.sh

which invokes: ./play.sh /ansible/day_0/onboard-edges.yml

that uses the following playbooks:

  • get-bootstrap.yml
  • terraform-apply-edges.yml
  • terraform-apply-edges.yml

Note:

  • If no template is attached to the UUIDs specified, a basic day0 configuration will be used.
  • If a template is attached, the vManage generated configuration will be used as day0 config.

Deleting C8000v

With bin as your current folder:

./delete_edges.sh
