This change is a proof of concept we can use NetBox Usage: utils/netbox/pillarize.py <node name> Additional credits: Ref T1762 Compare pillarize output with current pillar/nodes/nodes.sls content

Use default_gateways and default_gateways_virt fields. Add support for IPv6. Comment Actions What's missing compared to https://devcentral.nasqueron.org/source/operations/browse/main/pillar/nodes/nodes.sls?
We then need to carefully compare roles and information, and that's ready to switch from nodes["router-001"] to node directly. To check if GRE configuration don't try to read IPs from the nodes. If so, we can output a specific pillar entry specific for GRE tunnels, especially as we've all the needed information in the GRE interfaces. We don't need any flag ipv6_ovh_fix, as we used instead a module method: network_utils.can_directly_be_discovered Comment Actions Next: ipv6_dhcp_duid flag at interface level Also gateways are now a multi-value field to allow IPv4 + IPv6 Comment Actions I removed the priority and name entries from the generated pillar, as they are not used by Salt in our current setup. Comment Actions Fix : when an IPv6 address belongs to the Scaleway tenant, add the This comment was removed by yousra. Comment Actions We need to use OrderedDict from the collections module because the pillar generation script must preserve the order of the information. This ensures that the generated pillar file remains consistent and human-readable. Maintaining a stable order also makes it easier to review changes, compare versions, and debug configurations. |
