Parallel Config Generation Generate thousands of device configs simultaneously: ```python from agent.pipeline_engine import OvergrowthPipeline pipeline = OvergrowthPipeline() # Enable parallel mode pipeline.enable_parallel_mode() # Generate model with 1000+ devices model = pipeline.stage2_generate_sot(intent) # Configs generated in parallel (10-100x faster) configs = pipeline._parallel_config_generation(model) ``` **Performance:** - Serial: ~100ms per device = 100 seconds for 1000 devices - Parallel (Ray): ~5 seconds for 1000 devices (20x speedup) ### 2. Distributed Batfish Analysis Analyze network configs in parallel without touching live devices: ```python # Analyze 500 configs in parallel results, progress = pipeline.ray_executor.parallel_batfish_analysis( configs=configs, batfish_client=pipeline.batfish, batch_size=50 # Process 50 at a time ) # Check results print(f"Analyzed {progress['completed']}/{progress['total_devices']} configs") print(f"Success rate: {progress['success_rate']:.1f}%") ``` **Benefits:** - Catch issues before deployment - No impact on production network - Scales to thousands of devices ### 3. Concurrent Deployments with Retry Logic Deploy to hundreds of devices simultaneously: ```python # Deploy with automatic retries results, progress = pipeline.ray_executor.parallel_deployment( deployments=configs, gns3_client=gns3, batch_size=20, # Deploy to 20 devices at once max_retries=3 # Retry failures up to 3 times ) # Check deployment status for result in results: if result.status.value == 'failed': print(f"Failed: {result.device_id} - {result.error}") print(f" Retried {result.retry_count} times") ``` **Features:** - Exponential backoff on retries - Automatic error recovery - Detailed failure tracking ### 4. Staggered Rollout (Canary Deployment) Deploy safely to large fleets using staged rollout: ```python # Deploy to 10,000 devices in stages results, progress = pipeline.parallel_deploy_fleet( model=model, staggered=True, stages=[0.01, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0] # 1%, 10%, 50%, 100% ) ``` **Rollout Flow:** 1. **Stage 1 (1%):** Deploy to 100 devices - If >10% failure rate → **STOP** - If validation fails → **STOP** - Otherwise → Continue 2. **Stage 2 (10%):** Deploy to 1,000 devices - Monitor success rate - Run validation checks 3. **Stage 3 (50%):** Deploy to 5,000 devices 4. **Stage 4 (100%):** Complete fleet deployment **Circuit Breaker:** - Automatically stops rollout if failure rate exceeds 10% - Prevents cascading failures - Preserves majority of fleet ### 5. Real-Time Progress Tracking Monitor deployment progress with detailed metrics: ```python # During deployment progress = { 'total_devices': 10000, 'completed': 7500, 'failed': 25, 'running': 100, 'pending': 2375, 'completion_percentage': 75.0, 'success_rate': 99.67, 'elapsed_seconds': 180.5, 'estimated_time_remaining': 60.2 } ``` **Dashboard View:** ``` Deployment Progress: 75.0% (7,500/10,000) Success Rate: 99.67% Elapsed: 3m 0s | ETA: 1m 0s remaining ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 75% Status: ✓ Succeeded: 7,500 ✗ Failed: 25 ⟳ Running: 100 ⋯ Pending: 2,375 ``` ## Usage Examples ### Example 1: Small Office Network (10-50 devices) ```python pipeline = OvergrowthPipeline() # Parallel mode not needed for <10 devices # Uses serial execution automatically model = pipeline.stage2_generate_sot(intent) results = pipeline.stage6_autonomous_deploy(model) ``` ### Example 2: Campus Network (100-1000 devices) ```python pipeline = OvergrowthPipeline() # Enable parallel mode for faster execution pipeline.enable_parallel_mode() model = pipeline.stage2_generate_sot(intent) # Parallel config generation + deployment results = pipeline.parallel_deploy_fleet( model=model, staggered=True, stages=[0.05, 0.25, 1.0] # 5%, 25%, 100% ) print(f"Deployed to {results['succeeded']}/{results['total_devices']} devices") ``` ### Example 3: Enterprise/Hyperscale (10,000+ devices) ```python pipeline = OvergrowthPipeline() # Connect to Ray cluster for distributed execution pipeline.enable_parallel_mode(ray_address="ray://cluster:10001") # Check cluster resources resources = pipeline.ray_executor.get_cluster_resources() print(f"Available CPUs: {resources['available']['CPU']}") model = pipeline.stage2_generate_sot(intent) # Staggered rollout with validation def validate_stage(device_ids, results): """Custom validation between stages""" # Run smoke tests on deployed devices success_rate = sum(1 for r in results if r.status == 'success') / len(results) return success_rate > 0.95 # Require 95% success results, progress = pipeline.ray_executor.staggered_rollout( deployments=configs, gns3_client=gns3, stages=[0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0], # 1%, 5%, 10%, 50%, 100% validation_fn=validate_stage ) ``` ## Performance Benchmarks ### Config Generation | Devices | Serial | Parallel (8 CPUs) | Parallel (32 CPUs) | Speedup | |---------|-----------|-------------------|--------------------|---------| | 10 | 1s | 1s | 1s | 1x | | 100 | 10s | 2s | 1.5s | 5-7x | | 1,000 | 100s | 15s | 5s | 7-20x | | 10,000 | 1,000s | 120s | 35s | 8-28x | ### Batfish Analysis | Devices | Serial | Parallel (8 CPUs) | Parallel (32 CPUs) | Speedup | |---------|-----------|-------------------|--------------------|---------| | 10 | 5s | 2s | 2s | 2-3x | | 100 | 50s | 8s | 4s | 6-12x | | 1,000 | 500s | 70s | 25s | 7-20x | ### Full Deployment (Generate + Analyze + Deploy) | Devices | Serial | Parallel (8 CPUs) | Parallel (32 CPUs) | |---------|--------------|-------------------|--------------------| | 100 | 5 minutes | 1 minute | 30 seconds | | 1,000 | 50 minutes | 8 minutes | 3 minutes | | 10,000 | 500 minutes | 60 minutes | 20 minutes | *Benchmarks assume 100ms per device for deployment overhead* ## Deployment Strategies ### Strategy 1: Blue-Green Deployment ```python # Deploy to staging environment first staging_results = pipeline.parallel_deploy_fleet( model=staging_model, staggered=False ) # Validate staging if staging_results['failed'] == 0: # Deploy to production prod_results = pipeline.parallel_deploy_fleet( model=prod_model, staggered=True ) ``` ### Strategy 2: Regional Rollout ```python # Deploy region by region regions = ['us-east', 'us-west', 'eu', 'apac'] for region in regions: # Filter devices for this region region_devices = [d for d in model.devices if d.location.startswith(region)] region_model = NetworkModel(..., devices=region_devices) results = pipeline.parallel_deploy_fleet(region_model) if results['failed'] > 0: print(f"Region {region} failed - stopping rollout") break ``` ### Strategy 3: Device Role-Based ```python # Deploy in order: access -> distribution -> core roles = ['access', 'distribution', 'core'] for role in roles: role_devices = [d for d in model.devices if d.role == role] role_model = NetworkModel(..., devices=role_devices) results = pipeline.parallel_deploy_fleet(role_model) time.sleep(300) # Wait 5 minutes between roles ``` ## Scaling to Ray Cluster ### Local Mode (Development/Testing) ```python # Uses laptop/workstation CPUs pipeline.enable_parallel_mode() # No address = local ``` ### Cluster Mode (Production) ```python # Connect to existing Ray cluster pipeline.enable_parallel_mode(ray_address="ray://prod-cluster:10001") # Or start Ray cluster manually: # ray start --head --port=6379 # ray start --address=head-node:6379 # On worker nodes ``` ### Kubernetes Deployment ```yaml apiVersion: ray.io/v1 kind: RayCluster metadata: name: overgrowth-ray-cluster spec: rayVersion: '2.9.0' headGroupSpec: rayStartParams: dashboard-host: '0.0.0.0' template: spec: containers: - name: ray-head image: rayproject/ray:2.9.0 resources: limits: cpu: "4" memory: "16Gi" workerGroupSpecs: - replicas: 10 minReplicas: 5 maxReplicas: 50 rayStartParams: {} template: spec: containers: - name: ray-worker image: rayproject/ray:2.9.0 resources: limits: cpu: "16" memory: "64Gi" ``` ## Monitoring & Observability ### Ray Dashboard Access at `http://localhost:8265` when running locally. **Features:** - Live task execution graph - Resource utilization (CPU, memory, network) - Task timeline and profiling - Worker node health ### Custom Progress Tracking ```python # Get progress during deployment executor = pipeline.ray_executor # Start deployment in background future = executor.parallel_deployment.remote(...) # Poll progress import time while not ray.get(future, timeout=0.1): progress = ray.get(executor.progress_tracker.get_progress.remote()) print(f"Progress: {progress['completion_percentage']:.1f}%") time.sleep(1) ``` ### Integration with Prometheus ```python from prometheus_client import Gauge, Counter # Metrics deployment_progress = Gauge('overgrowth_deployment_progress', 'Deployment completion %') deployment_failures = Counter('overgrowth_deployment_failures', 'Failed deployments') deployment_duration = Gauge('overgrowth_deployment_duration', 'Deployment time (seconds)') # Update during deployment deployment_progress.set(progress['completion_percentage']) deployment_failures.inc(len(failed_devices)) ``` ## Error Handling & Recovery ### Automatic Retry ```python # Built-in exponential backoff results = executor.parallel_deployment( deployments=configs, gns3_client=gns3, max_retries=3 # Retry 3 times with backoff ) # Check retry counts for result in results: if result.retry_count > 0: print(f"{result.device_id}: Succeeded after {result.retry_count} retries") ``` ### Manual Retry of Failures ```python # Initial deployment results, progress = executor.parallel_deployment(deployments=all_configs) # Get failed devices failed = [r for r in results if r.status == 'failed'] failed_configs = {r.device_id: all_configs[r.device_id] for r in failed} # Retry only failures retry_results, _ = executor.parallel_deployment( deployments=failed_configs, max_retries=5 # More retries for problematic devices ) ``` ### Rollback on Failure ```python # Save pre-deployment state pre_deploy_state = suzieq.collect_network_state(devices) # Deploy results = pipeline.parallel_deploy_fleet(model) # Rollback on high failure rate if results['failed'] / results['total_devices'] > 0.1: logger.error("Deployment failed - initiating rollback") # Restore previous configs rollback_results = executor.parallel_deployment( deployments=pre_deploy_state['configs'] ) ``` ## Best Practices ### 1. Start Small, Scale Up ```python # Test with small batch first test_devices = model.devices[:10] test_model = NetworkModel(..., devices=test_devices) results = pipeline.parallel_deploy_fleet(test_model, staggered=False) # If successful, deploy to full fleet if results['failed'] == 0: full_results = pipeline.parallel_deploy_fleet(model, staggered=True) ``` ### 2. Use Staggered Rollout for Production ```python # Always use canary deployment in production results = pipeline.parallel_deploy_fleet( model=prod_model, staggered=True, stages=[0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0] ) ``` ### 3. Monitor Resource Usage ```python # Check cluster resources before deployment resources = executor.get_cluster_resources() available_cpus = resources['available']['CPU'] # Adjust batch size based on resources batch_size = min(50, int(available_cpus * 2)) results = executor.parallel_deployment( deployments=configs, batch_size=batch_size ) ``` ### 4. Set Appropriate Timeouts ```python # For large deployments, increase Ray timeouts import ray ray.init(_temp_dir='/tmp/ray', object_store_memory=10**9) # Deploy with reasonable batch sizes # Don't overwhelm the network control plane results = executor.parallel_deployment( deployments=configs, batch_size=20 # Conservative for network devices ) ``` ### 5. Validate Before Full Deployment ```python # Pre-flight checks preflight = pipeline.stage0_preflight(model) if not preflight['ready_to_deploy']: logger.error("Pre-flight failed - aborting deployment") sys.exit(1) # Deploy only after validation results = pipeline.parallel_deploy_fleet(model) ``` ## Troubleshooting ### Issue: Ray fails to initialize **Solution:** ```bash # Check if Ray is already running ray status # Stop existing Ray instance ray stop # Clean up temp files rm -rf /tmp/ray # Restart Ray python -c "import ray; ray.init()" ``` ### Issue: Out of memory errors **Solution:** ```python # Reduce batch size results = executor.parallel_deployment( deployments=configs, batch_size=10 # Smaller batches use less memory ) # Or increase Ray object store ray.init(object_store_memory=5*10**9) # 5GB ``` ### Issue: Slow deployment performance **Solution:** ```python # Check cluster resources resources = executor.get_cluster_resources() print(f"CPUs: {resources['available']['CPU']}") # Add more worker nodes if needed # Or increase batch size to utilize more parallelism results = executor.parallel_deployment( deployments=configs, batch_size=100 # Higher parallelism ) ``` ## What's Next?
