CloudVision Containers
§ Containers define…
• The role of a group of
switches within the DC
• Customizable taxonomy
to reflect specific functions
• Multiple sub-containers
within a parent container
• Framework for defining
“configlets”
Parent container
All switches in the Data center
Sub-containers within DC
e.g. “All Leaf Switches”
Container model simplifies deployment and management of shared configuration across multiple switches
New Switches – Automatically
placed in “Undefined”
