Worked on the srl-labs/containerlab repository to deliver a scalable topology templating workflow for complex network configurations. Developed a feature that enables topology template variables to be defined and merged across multiple YAML files, supporting advanced reuse and organization for multi-environment test setups. The implementation in Go leveraged configuration management and template engine skills, introducing automatic detection and loading of variables and .gotmpl files to extend template execution. Maintained backward compatibility with existing options, ensured all core package tests passed, and kept binary size impact minimal. This work simplifies template sharing and management across LABs without introducing breaking changes.
April 2026 monthly summary for srl-labs/containerlab focused on delivering a scalable, maintainable topology templating workflow. Key feature delivered: Topology Template Rendering Across YAML Files, enabling template variables to be defined across multiple YAML files and rendering additional .gotmpl files from a topology gotmpl file. This unlocks greater reuse and organization for complex network configurations and multi-environment test setups. Major work included multi-file vars merging, autodetection of vars, and loading of clab_templates/gotmpl files to extend template execution. Backward compatibility maintained with no breaking changes to existing options. All relevant tests pass and the binary size impact is minimal.
