Class Demo Pack

Contents

This pack is designed to exercise ST2 for class room based training.

It contains a number of branches, each of which contain different things.

master branch

This contains the starting point for the class. In this branch is just this README.md.

class branch

This contains all of the classroom based artefacts including rules, actions, action-chains and Mistral workflows. If you want to cheat, use this branch. If you accidentally blow your environment away, this branch will trigger memories of the training.

bob_one branch This branch contains the customer example for Bob.

Bob wants to use a vRouter API to get interface information and integrate with ChatOps.

This branch contains a workflow and a custom action parser for the API.

bob_two branch Bob wants more (who would have thought).

Bob now wants to publish credentials into the workflow instead of someone passing them in.

This branch contains a new action which publishes credentials.

alice_one branch

Alice wants a place to create and delete VLANs using StackStorm.

This branch offers a sensor which is effectively a webserver. This webserver offers POST, DELETE and GET verbs. Data created or deleted is via the KV store on StackStorm itself.

alice_two branch

Alice forgot, she wanted some rules to prove out the sensor is emitting triggers.

This branch includes rules!

eve_one branch

Eve wants to explore network automation specifically.

This branch contains a new workflow that uses components from the DC Fabrics pack.

This workflow specifically allows users of the Brocade VDX to create a point-to-point VNI and map to a VLAN. This VLAN is then presented to a trunked/not-trunked access port.

eve_two branch Eve dropped the bombshell (shock horror) that she has CLI only devices in her network. She wants to create a VLAN using Alice's sensor and have that push and validate a VLAN out to a Brocade MLXe.

This branch contains Eve's workflow for this. You will also need to install the CLICRUD pack and configure it appropriately for your environment.

Other Things

There is a directory containing experimental Python code snippets which may or may not be of use.

This directory is called pythoncode.

Usage

If you are using this pack, ensure that after each branch change, a reload of st2 is carried out. st2ctl reload.

Some branches will also require a pack configuration step and a subsequent reload of st2 to put the configuration in to the database.
