Welcome to the RADKit Quests Series: a community-driven program where Cisco RADKit developers tackle real-world automation topics, share their solutions, and get recognized for their contributions.
- Browse the open quests below.
- Build a repository that addresses the challenge topic.
- Submit by following the standard Contributing Guide.
- Get recognized on the Community Leaderboard.
All submissions must comply with the Project Requirements and be signed off with a Developer Certificate of Origin.
Category: Open
Difficulty: ⭐ to ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (self-assessed)
Status: 🟢 Always Open
Deadline: None, submissions accepted at any time
Description:
Share a real-life scenario where RADKit made a difference on your network. This is the place to
show the community what RADKit looks like in production, whether that is a script that saved you
hours of toil, an architecture that enabled a new capability, or a workflow that solved a problem
that nothing else could. Sensitive details may be anonymised; what matters is the story and the
technical substance behind it.
Format is completely open: a Python script, an Ansible playbook, a draw.io diagram, a Jupyter notebook, a short write-up, whatever best tells your story.
Acceptance Criteria:
- Clearly describes the real-world problem that was solved
- Explains how RADKit was central to the solution
- Contains no customer names, sensitive hostnames, credentials, or undisclosable network data
- Includes enough context for someone else to understand and adapt the approach
- Any code or config is runnable or clearly annotated where environment-specific values must be substituted
Category: Integration
Difficulty: ⭐⭐⭐
Status: 🟢 Open
Deadline: June 30, 2026
Description:
Build a working example that integrates RADKit into a CI/CD pipeline
(e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins). The project should demonstrate
automated network validation or configuration checks triggered by a pipeline event.
Acceptance Criteria:
- Working pipeline configuration file included
- RADKit SDK version documented
- README with setup and run instructions
- At least one test case included
Category: Automation
Difficulty: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Status: 🟢 Open
Deadline: September 30, 2026
Description:
Build an Ansible playbook that leverages the RADKit Client SDK to audit network device
configurations against a defined compliance policy, generate a structured report of violations,
and automatically remediate any deviations from the desired state.
Acceptance Criteria:
- Ansible playbook uses the RADKit Client SDK (not the CLI) to interact with devices
- Compliance policy is expressed as a declarative, human-readable config (e.g., YAML/JSON)
- Report output includes per-device pass/fail status and details of violations
- Remediation tasks are idempotent and clearly separated from audit tasks
- README with setup, usage, and example output included
- RADKit SDK version and Ansible version documented
