Hi David, thank you so much for this great video series!
One small addition (maybe that has been added recently, I don't know):
Around 8:20 you set up separate "start" calls for all nodes - you can simply do a POST against to start all nodes simultaneously :)

Great set of videos, just saved me a lot of time writing something small to provision base configuration over console ports. Much appreciated!!

This is so great!
Does anyone know, how you would add this up with Ansible, say you automate the creation of topology with nodes, links etc. and afterwards automate the configuration of the nodes with Ansible.
I guess I am asking, is there any way to create a script to make an Ansible node configure the nodes topology made, which ofcourse also was made with the creation of the topology.
Of course, a playbook is needed for the Ansible node, but how can I set the Ansible node into action automatically?
Hope you guys can help and maybe even you David. This is for my exam.
