Network Config Generator

I’ll like to provide a quick overview about the Flask microframework and the associated modules and libraries that I used during the development of the Network Configuration Generator. There are many tutorials out there on “how to develop a Flask application”, therefore I will limit the code examples to a minimum in this post. I’ll focus on the resources that I’ve used for learning.

Today I like to describe the target Use Case, functionality and structure of the Network Configuration Generator. Furthermore, I like to describe the Integration and API capabilities that should be implemented. At the end of this post, I discuss some limitations and functionalities that are considered out-of-scope for the first version.

I decide to create my first blog post series, which should provide a practical guideline to create your own web based Network Configuration Generator. I’ll like to focus on the overall approach and the tools/frameworks that I used during the creation of this tool. At the end of the series, you'll get a full configuration generator running as a Web service.
