Network infrastructure provisioning is a critical subset of the Automated Deployment of CBC/Radio-Canada's Media-Over-IP Data Center. As the On-Air date approached, it became clear that in order to respond to the fast-changing production needs, traditional network provisioning methods were inadequate. As we began to explore various automation solutions, we realized that a new NetDevOps culture needed to be cultivated within our organization. — This paper will present the architecture and implementation of CBC's network automated deployment workflow in collaboration with Arista. We believe these tools and methods will be applicable as a way forward to many Media-over-IP projects at all scales.
