ACIReactor is a micro-services application that runs on a kubernetes cluster. It can be configured from an API or GUI. After defining ACI and Ansible server details, you can add rules.

Rules map Ansible jobs to ACI events. In the example above, job “Add to VIP pool” is run when a server connects in EPG “evo-web-servers”.

ACIReactor passes the ACI tenant, Application Profile, EPG and the IP address as Ansible extra vars.

If you configure an elasticsearch server, ACIReactor posts statistics so you can see the effectiveness of your automation.
