Release 5.0.0¶
Changes to requirements¶
- Python requirements:
- AVD v.5.0.0 requires Python version 3.10 or newer.
- AVD now requires the
cvprac
Python library to be version 1.4.0 or higher.
The latest version can be installed withpip install "cvprac>=1.4.0" --upgrade
.
- Ansible collection requirements:
- Minimum
arista.cvp
version 3.11.0.
- Minimum
Removal of Ansible components¶
The following ansible components have been removed from the arista.avd
Ansible collection in v5.0.0.
Filters:
arista.avd.convert_dicts
arista.avd.hash_passphrase
arista.avd.generate_esi
arista.avd.generate_lacp_id
arista.avd.generate_route_target
Action plugins / Modules:
arista.avd.deploy_to_cv
arista.avd.batch_template
arista.avd.validate_and_template
arista.avd.yaml_templates_to_facts
arista.avd._emit_warning
Roles:
arista.avd.deploy_to_cv
See the porting guide for details.
Removal of Ansible tags from AVD roles¶
Support for Ansible tags across AVD roles has been replaced with variables to control the execution of various parts of AVD.
The previous implementation of Ansible tags needed to be more consistent, and they were mostly undocumented. It often led to inconsistent behaviors depending on when the tags were used with --tags
vs. --skip-tags
.
See the porting guide for details.
Data model changes from “dict-of-dicts” to “list-of-dicts”¶
In AVD 4.0.0 and across both eos_designs
and eos_cli_config_gen
, all “dict-of-dicts” data models with user-defined keys were changed to “list-of-dicts”.
In AVD 4.x inputs were auto-converted to the new data models.
As of AVD 5.0.0 the automatic conversion from dict-of-dicts has been removed, so it is required to update the input data to the new data models.
The avd_data_conversion_mode
key has also been removed.
See the porting guide for details.
All eos_designs and eos_cli_config_gen variables are always validated by schemas¶
In AVD 5.0.0, all eos_designs
and eos_cli_config_gen
keys are validated by schemas and execution will stop for any violations.
If additional custom keys are desired, a key starting with an underscore _
will be ignored by validation.
Danger
The input variable avd_data_validation_mode
now has a default value of error
, and while it can be set to warning
, this is highly discouraged.
All AVD code relies on the validation to ensure valid data, so the code assumes that the data is valid.
If the validation mode is set to warning
, execution will continue with invalid data, which can lead to hard-to-read errors or incorrect behavior.
Breaking or behavioral changes in eos_designs¶
Breaking changes may require modifications to the inventory or playbook. See the Porting guide for AVD 5.x.x for details.
Breaking or behavioral changes in eos_cli_config_gen¶
Breaking changes may require modifications to the inventory or playbook. See the Porting guide for AVD 5.x.x for details.
Breaking or behavioral changes in eos_validate_state¶
Starting AVD 5.0.0, eos_validate_state
uses ANTA as backend, which will change the default behavior (same as setting use_anta: true
in the latest AVD 4.x.x versions).
If you have not been using use_anta: true
in latest versions of AVD 4.x.x, please go through the following sections for details on the changes.
Breaking changes may require modifications to the inventory, input variables or playbooks. See the Porting guide for AVD 5.x.x for details.
Loose mode is the only supported mode¶
In the previous implementation, loose mode was used by default to avoid stopping the playbook and hence the tests when they were run task by task in Ansible. It was possible to turn loose mode off with a variable eos_validate_state_validation_mode_loose: false
that would make the playbook stop at the first failing tasks for whatever reason on each host.
Loose mode is now the default and all the tests are always run and the errors are all present in the final report.
Input for hardware tests have been updated¶
The inputs for the hardware test have changed. See the porting guide for details.
Filtering tests using Ansible tags support was removed¶
Instead use the skip_tests
mechanism. See the porting guide for details.
Changes to CSV and Markdown reports¶
- Hardware tests are now collapsed.
- Sorting of test results is now done per device as opposed to per category.
- Test categories, descriptions and inputs have been improved to follow ANTA.
- CSV report headers updated from
test_id,node,test_category,test_description,test,result,failure_reason
toid,dut,categories,test,description,inputs,result,messages
- Tests skipped by ANTA will be marked as
SKIPPED
in the final reports.
Undeployed devices¶
- All tests will be removed from the catalog for a device flagged as undeployed using the host level variable
is_deployed: false
. - Additionally, the per-device generated test catalog takes into account the
is_deployed
variable value from the peer devices (e.g. a ping test towards an undeployed peer is not generated).
Warning
Tests can also be automatically removed from the catalogs depending on the structured configuration of the devices. ANTA is therefore not aware of these tests and they will not appear in the final report. For example, the AvdTestMLAG
tests will not be present in the test catalog of a device that does not have an MLAG configuration in its structured configuration.
BGP test change¶
- BGP tests will only run if
service_routing_protocols_model
is set tomulti-agent
in the structured configuration file.
Note
Starting from version 4.30.1F, the service routing protocols is set to multi-agent
on EOS devices by default. Details are available here (TOI article is only available for registered users).
Inband management reachability test change¶
- Inband management reachability test has been refactored to support AVD inband management data model.
