PROFILE
Pim Van Pelt
Contributed to srl-labs/containerlab by developing and integrating FD.io VPP support as a new node kind, enabling deployment and management of VPP instances within containerized network labs. Leveraged Go, YAML, and containerization to implement a CI/CD workflow for automated VPP testing, ensuring regression-free releases and production readiness. Enhanced configuration management by overhauling the fdio_vpp image to support bind-mounts into a unified /config directory, with symlinks for backward compatibility across VPP, Bird2, and FRR. Collaborated on documentation and validation using end-to-end robot tests, streamlining multi-service networking stack deployments and improving maintainability for future containerlab releases.

Apr 1, 2026April 2026 monthly summary for srl-labs/containerlab: Feature delivered: fdio_vpp image configuration overhaul enabling /config bind-mounts. This change moves all relevant configs to /config and creates symlinks so /etc/{vpp,bird,frr} point to /config, improving configuration portability, upgradeability, and consistency across VPP, Bird2, and FRR deployments. Upstream alignment with image:stable ensures compatibility with future releases and reduces drift. Validation included end-to-end testing with the robot-test suite 11-fdio-vpp/01-e2e-lab.robot. Collaboration included with Pim van Pelt on the change. Overall impact: streamlined configuration management, faster deployments, and stronger maintainability for multi-service networking stacks within containerlab.
