Project Description

Containerlab is a tool for deploying and testing networks. We can build complete networking labs with few resources on a single system. It is great for preliminary testing before setting up a lab and will help identify any breakdowns or failures in the framework beforehand. In this project, we’ll learn the basics of Containerlab and how it works. We’ll do that by making and deploying simple network topologies.
