At work, I spend my day writing Terraform and Yaml and CICD pipelines to apply said resources.

In my home lab I run a 2 (soon to be more) node K3S cluster, which I manage with Flux and a lot of other things.

My main question

I am looking for a router that has one (or more) of the below:

  • Good terraform support
  • Good Scripting language (Please not the mikrotik language)

Ideally I want to store my routers config in git, and build a CI solution around the config. Not sure how I will deal with the chicken and egg issue of if there is no internet how do you git pull the repo

What I’ve found so far

Currently, I am leaning towards the Juniper solution, but that means removing the CCNA knowledge from my brain to fit their syntax in

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Try Arista EOS. You can download docker (cEOS) and virtual machine images (vEOS) for free once you create a free account.

    You can also spin those up pretty easily with containerlab. And automate/manage them with ansible.
