Plans against the Caro Kann

I have a tournament coming up in 2 days and I still have no general plan how to play against the Caro Kann. Can anyone give me some attacking plans for white and a theory line where black is not completly solid and white has attacking chances?
2 knights attack isnt good at all .. i would play carokann if all my opponents play it
Many good players suggest the exchange variation. It's a basic attacking formation that's easy to learn. Black does have two good lines which allow him to eliminate his bad bishop and/or pressure you with a minority attack.

As a Caro player, I have the most trouble against the Accelerated Panov Attack with 2. c4. I end up with a cramped position that I am not used to. Take this with a grain of salt though, I'm not very good.
Im only starting to learn the caro myself, finding it very interesting with good lines for black in all variations..... if you know the theory.

So far ive struggled most against the advanced variation, maybe you could look into these lines?

The exchange variation is probably most comfortable for me.
