DevOps with Python
summary
Demonstrates a Python pipeline that creates VMs end-to-end: edits a VMX template, clones VMDK, registers and powers on VMs via SSH, creates port groups with PyVmomi, and configures switch VLANs and router subinterfaces using Netmiko + Paramiko. A Django form front end triggers the workflow and a pool supplies IPs/VLANs; demo provisions two VMs with working network paths. No vendor controller or REST API is used here; author also describes an IOS-update script that requires reboot-and-check logic.
