Coding_Challenge

Creating an ansible playbook that reads the following objects from the supplied variable file and

creates them in the Cisco Sandbox APIC:• Tenants, • Application profiles, • End point groups, • Bridge domains, • Contracts, • VRFs, etc.

The Cisco Sandbox APIC is an online testing environment hosted by Cisco.

Login data:

Hostname: https://sandboxapicdc.cisco.com/

User: admin

Password: !v3G@!4@Y

Ansible playbbok must read its specification from varaibles file "coding_challenge_ansible.yml"

Ansible must be installed locally.

Python3 is also a must.

Another Sandbox login solution is presented here:-

https://devnetsandbox.cisco.com/

log in with CISCo ID or Gmail account.

"Reservable ACI similator" was used where one can book it (max 6 hours) with total dedication to the user.

it's a recommended solution for testing purposes only , coz you will loose your configuration after the 6 hours limit.
