Member OP
Is very manual now. I have the spreadsheets. Is very bad. I am thinking to use GitOps but ¿is secure? I see some people use Ansible for this, but is very slow for 50 peers. I am using BIRD and the prefix lists are 5000 lines each. Jajaja I am crying actually not laughing.
I tried to write a long post about my architecture but deleted. Is too embarrassing. Now you get the short version. Please help.
Could NOT pass on this one
RackNerd had a "BGP automation template" for $12/YR ARE YOU KIDDING
Bought in 2023, price went to $48/YR next month
Still using it, still worth it
Tracks IRR changes and pushes to my GreenCloudVPS VMs in ~90 seconds

We use GitOps with 40ms commit-to-deploy. Data:
AS64500 runs this at scale. Clinical but effective.
Prices only go up. /24 will cost you a kidney. Manual prefix lists are how you leak routes and get depeered. Automation isn't optional anymore; it's survival. Saw a /22 lease hit $18k/month last week. You can't afford to misannounce at those prices.
