• main.py: Core logic and entry point.
• config.yaml: Configuration for API credentials and test cases.
• requirements.txt: Python dependency list.

Setup

1. Install Python 3.8+
2. Create a Virtual Environment:

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install Dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

Edit config.yaml to set your Controller URL and credentials:

api_config:
  base_url: "https://your-avi-controller"
  username: "admin"
  password: "..."

Execution

Run the main script:

python main.py

Features

• Workflow:
  1. Pre-Fetcher (Data Gathering)
  2. Pre-Validation (State Check)
  3. Task (Action/PUT request)
  4. Post-Validation (Verification)
• Mock Stubs: Includes placeholders for SSH and RDP connectivity checks.
