## Description
This labs provides a lightweight folded CLOS fabric topology using a minimal set of nodes: two leaves and a single spine.

<center><div class="mxgraph" style="max-width:100%;border:1px solid transparent;" data-mxgraph="{&quot;page&quot;:5,&quot;zoom&quot;:1.5,&quot;highlight&quot;:&quot;#0000ff&quot;,&quot;nav&quot;:true,&quot;check-visible-state&quot;:true,&quot;resize&quot;:true,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://raw.githubusercontent.com/srl-labs/containerlab/diagrams/containerlab.drawio&quot;}"></div></center>

The topology is additionally equipped with the Linux containers connected to leaves to facilitate use cases which require access side emulation.

## Use cases
With this lightweight CLOS topology a user can exhibit the following scenarios:

* perform configuration tasks applied to the 3-stage CLOS fabric
* demonstrate fabric behavior leveraging the user-emulating linux containers attached to the leaves
