The deploy role will read the OSPF facts from the provided/default or remote inventory and deploy the changes onto the appliances. It enables users to read the config as host_vars from a local or remote data store and deploy network configurations if any changes are found. This role is designed to ensure that network configurations remain consistent and compliant across devices.
- Read network configuration data from local or remote repositories.
- Deploy configurations only when changes are detected.
- Support for integration with Git repositories for version control.
