Like many network engineers, I used to use EVE-NG (or GNS3) to test lab topologies and configurations.Instead of having to control the configuration using the EVE-NG platform, 2 tools available, ContainrLab & vrnetlab enables you to run your most used Network devices in a Docker container platform of your choice, this opens up all the automation tools available for Docker and K8S.īut beware, unlike traditional containers which replaces the resource intensive Virtual Machine with only the needed parts inside a container form, here are only converting those VM to run as VM emulating container, so those containers will use the same amount of resource as the EVE-NG VM if not a little bit more, but you get to optimize the deplyment of these labs.Īnswer, you Network lab acts like a K8S deployment, so for example, i have multiple topologies templates ready to run with one command if i need to test something, also if i miss it up, with one command I can destroy the lab and deploy another clean instance of the lab.
