+- [AVD](https://avd.arista.com/) stands for Arista Validated Design as it was based on the [EVPN Deployment Guide](https://www.arista.com/custom_data/downloads/?f=/support/download/DesignGuides/EVPN_Deployment_Guide.pdf)
+- A very successful community project used to deploy EVPN based Data Center fabrics
+  - Over [200 stars on Github](https://github.com/aristanetworks/ansible-avd) and 79 contributors as of Sep 2023
+  - The most active Arista collection on [Ansible Galaxy](https://galaxy.ansible.com/arista/avd)
+- High level workflow:
+  - Define abstracted group/host vars using AVD data model
+  - Generate low level device specific variables (aka structured configs)
+  - Parse templates, build plain text configs
+  - Deliver configs to network devices using Ansible `arista.eos.eos_config`
