+## Development
+Since we're using srlinux on containerlab, we can run topologies via whatever linux vm. After provisioning the linux VM you can copy-paste the contents of the `provision-vm.sh`script that'll download the stuff you need bar configuring git credentials which need to be done manually - merry christmas.
+
+## Rules:
* Dan's not allowed to write any php
-Tasks:
-* Design containerlab testing topology - **Alex**
-* Build containerlab topology - **Bas**
- * Plan an IP addressing scheme
- * Build containerlab topology as per network diagram
-* Configure containerlab (network) - **Vio**
+## Tasks:
+
+**Alex**
+* Build out network
+ * Configure lacp + ospf ring
+ * Document ip addresing schema for isls
+* Provision probe interfaces + draft netplan + ufw roles
+* Build / Provision containers for orcestrator / visualisation server
+
+**Bas**
+* Write / scaffold Go module
+* Write PoC scripts to make the probes ping eachother on their LAN interfaces
+* Draft go unit tests + actions
+* Test clab network
+
+**Vio**
+* Configure containerlab (network)
* Write config templates / config files as network as per diagram
* Write a provisioning script to apply the configs to the switches
-* Configure containerlab (systems) - **Dan**
+ * Configure leaf4
+ * ISL interface config
+ * OSPF config
+ * Loopback interface
+ * Auto-provision based on containerlab topology
+
+**Dan**
+* Configure containerlab (systems)
Using ansible:
- * Deploy ssh keys for all users + do correct permissions
- * Work with containerlab kind default ubuntu user
+ * Deploy ssh keys for all users + do correct user permissions
* Provision aquila-user with correct permissions
- * Place demo file in aquila-user dir with correct permissions

+ * Place demo file in aquila-user dir with correct permissions
+ * Configure probe-leaf4
+ * Netplan vars based on ip schema
+ * UFW allow config / hardening
+ * Auto-provision based on containerlab topology

+Keep systems / testing playbooks in this dir, the `ansible.cfg` file points towards the containerlab-generated hosts file in `Containerlab/clab-aquila/ansible-inventory.yml`
+
+Try to avoid adhoc commands as you'll need to point towards the hosts file.
