Automating deep into the environment drives efficiency and security. In this demo we show how to integrate Ansible Tower, vCenter, HashiCorp Vault, and Cisco ASA/ACI devices. The outcome is a single Ansible playbook that does the work of the VM admin, O/S admin, network admin, and the security/firewall team. This demo walks through the following steps:
- Prerequisites for integration
- Begin deployment from Ansible Tower
- Retrieve secrets from HashiCorp Vault
- Connect to vCenter and create VM
- Attach VM to existing Cisco ACI EPG
- Glean IP from deployed VM
- Allow traffic to new VM
- Push NAT and Security Rule
- Automation Testing
