directly on the switch) with automated versioning

Ansible modules
Ansible is an open-source IT automation platform.
Aruba publishes a set of Ansible configuration management modules designed for switches running AOS-CX
software. The modules are available from the following places:

AOS-CX Web UI
The Web UI gives you quick and easy visibility into what is happening on your switch, providing faster
problem detection, diagnosis, and resolution. The Web UI provides dashboards and views to monitor the
status of the switch, including easy to read indicators for: power supply, temperature, fans, CPU use,
memory use, log entries, system information, firmware, interfaces, VLANs, and LAGs. In addition, you use
the Web UI to access the Network Analytics Engine, run certain diagnostics, and modify some aspects of the
switch configuration.
AOS-CX REST API
Switches running the AOS-CX software are fully programmable with a REST (REpresentational State Transfer)
API, allowing easy integration with other devices both on premises and in the cloud. This programmability—
combined with the Aruba Network Analytics Engine—accelerates network administrator understanding of
and response to network issues.
The AOS-CX REST API enables programmatic access to the AOS-CX configuration and state database at the
heart of the switch. By using a structured model, changes to the content and formatting of the CLI output
do not affect the programs you write. And because the configuration is stored in a structured database
instead of a text file, rolling back changes is easier than ever, thus dramatically reducing a risk of downtime
and performance issues.
The AOS-CX REST API is a web service that performs operations on switch resources using HTTPS POST, GET,
PUT, and DELETE methods.
A switch resource is indicated by its Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). A URI can be made up of several
components, including the host name or IP address, port number, the path, and an optional query string.
The AOS-CX operating system includes the AOS-CX REST API Reference, which is a web interface based on
the Swagger UI. The AOS-CX REST API Reference provides the reference documentation for the REST API,
including resources URIs, models, methods, and errors. The AOS-CX REST API Reference shows most of the
supported read and write methods for all switch resources.
In-band and out-of-band management
Management communications with a managed switch can be either of the following:
