commit timer on arista.avd.eos_config_deploy_eapi module

[reymonlu]

Hello,

We would like to implement the precautionary principle during deployment using the arista.avd.eos_config_deploy_eapi module.

With the help of a tag, for example, we'd like to perform a “commit timer” on the configuration modification session. In the worst-case scenario, this would allow the fabric to return to its initial state in the event of a widespread incident due to deployment.

We can imagine using another tag for configuration validation, with the command type “configure session pending-timer commit” if the deployment is validated.

What do you think?

Apart from the tag part it sounds useful. Do you know if eventhing you need is already available in arista.eos? If not, you need to start there. I would prefer you make it a variable so the user can give it adhoc or place it in their fabric variables to always get this behavior.
