Left some polish suggestions.
Also, the zone creation isolation method screenshot shows VLAN, probably a good idea to replace it with one showing VXLAN to avoid confusion.
Otherwise LGTM. Am actually setting up an env following the doc together with the guys from https://www.netris.io/ @wido

Great! Good to see more people are going to use it. I do recommend to use Frr-10 btw, has some nice bug fixes. But this is frr-stable nowadays. |
Indeed they are using FRR10. They have a very cool product, lots of interesting networking automation/orchestration, and soon with ACS integration. |
|
All changes approved, all checks passed. I see no objections, merging this one soon. |
