Preparing Jinja templates

As mentioned in the Deployment overview section, we will be mostly using the Jinja Templates to configure Underlay, Overlay, and Routing pillars of our solution.

We provide the templates for both routing design methods discussed in Routing design methods. The deployment workflow described throughout this document is mostly agnostic to the chosen design method: all you need is to download the right set of templates from our GitHub repository (see Appendix B - External resources), and follow the steps described in the subsequent sections.

This document focuses on the new BGP on loopback design method. We will, however, explicitly highlight all the steps that require adjustments, should you choose the traditional BGP per overlay design method.

This section includes the following topics:

• Understanding template structure
• Defining the Project template
