Dear Friends,
Coming into from Network Engineer background ,I am looking for a direction on how to start APIC configuration
through python .
Following Tips which i would expect from the ACI community experts.
- Basic/High Level understanding about Python.
- Sample Template to create Tenants/VRF/BD/EPG.,etc using python .
- Sample template to integrate L4-L7 services & VMWARE using python.
I tried to prepare a template which worked when was executed, but do not understand the concept used for it.
