This update is where I have managed to get all the pieces together to form a complete Infrastructure as Code pipeline for the self-service firewall rules on the Cisco ASA.

In order to use SD-WAN as intended, the configuration should be created on the vManage. To do this, templates are used. The first step is to configure a template that has the current config present. Below, I have created a number of templates that match the running configuration. Instead of creating a full guide on how I did this, it is easier to watch this full guide on YouTube. […]
