Clos Overview

Extreme Fabric Automation (EFA) is a microservices-based application that manages the life cycle of IP Fabric Clos and Small Data Center deployments. All of the microservices support REST APIs that are detailed by OpenAPI.

Tenant Network onboarding services are supported on all the topologies, allowing you to create connectivity for devices connected to the fabric, such as compute (servers), storage, and connectivity to external routers or gateways.
