• Python automation scripts for Arista EOS configuration and telemetry
• Ansible playbook creation with Jinja2 templates
• CloudVision Portal provisioning and change management
• REST API consumption and eAPI automation
• YANG model usage and NETCONF/gNMI operations
• CI/CD pipeline setup for network changes
• Automated testing and rollback strategies
• Security and performance optimization of automation workflows

• Arista ACE L4 certification or equivalent real-world experience
• Solid Python programming skills (functions, libraries, REST)
• Working knowledge of Ansible and YAML syntax

High – requires understanding of multiple programming paradigms, network protocols, and automation frameworks. Candidates must synthesize concepts from coding, configuration management, and network operations.

For ACE L5 Professional – Automation, Certilum uses practice questions that mirror production automation scenarios: writing playbooks, debugging deployments, and integrating CloudVision. Our modular approach – master Python and Ansible independently – uses interactive quizzes and diagnostic feedback.

Focus on hands-on labs using virtual Arista instances (vEOS) and real-world automation projects. Master Python and Ansible core modules, practice with CloudVision API, and build CI/CD pipelines. Official Arista training (ACE L5 Automation bootcamp) is recommended, supplemented by community labs and sample exams.
