This is *after* I get over the horrible non-typesafe mess that is Ansible and jinja templates. It's slow, it crashes with random runtime errors due to type mismatches and missing data, and it's just *ugly*.

Trying to convince myself that writing something in Go with #yang and #openconfig wouldn't be faster and less painful.

Fortunately (?) Arista doesn't seem to have a DHCP server yang model.

But seriously, any suggestions on tools?
