Implementación de servicios de red con herramientas de DevOps: creación de DMZ en equipos especializados de red mediante DevOps.

Abstract

Today, process automation is continuing to develop, with the purpose to implement new services in the shortest possible time, solving human error problems and continuous improvement of systems. Network automation is involved in these developments, where Ansible is used as a compatible tool of networking devices management. Ansible manages to generate configuration tasks for network equipment, through a main server or controller node, which includes Python, Ansible and SSH. The communication established with the SSH protocol between the networking devices and the server allows executing a file in YAML format called playbook. The playbook has the configuration tasks that will be implemented in the equipment communicated with SSH. The first chapter presents a brief description of the developed components, objectives, scope and theoretical framework, whose points allow the development of this titling project. The second chapter presents the methodology used in the project development, where the procedures applied in each objective, until I get an algorithm that uses Ansible form setting up a DMZ on a Cisco ASA device. The third chapter shows the results achieved, in which it’s described the development of the proposed objectives, implemented configurations and the performance tests of algorithm created by Ansible. The fourth chapter indicates the conclusions obtained when developing this titling project. Finally, the fifth chapter presents the recommendations about the complications and solutions that were presented during the project development.
