Book Description	Transform the way your network teams think about and deploy enterprise network automation through the power of Nautobot's open-source platform Key FeaturesLearn how documenting your network in Nautobot can accelerate your network automation journeyApply NetDevOps to your network by leveraging Nautobot as a network source of truthMinimize tool sprawl by extending, using, or building Nautobot AppsPurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBookBook DescriptionNautobot enables network teams to build a scalable and extensible network source of truth that provides a foundation to power any network automation stack.With the help of this guide, you'll learn how to deploy, manage, and integrate Nautobot as a source of truth and network automation platform. As you progress, you'll learn what a network source of truth is, the relationship between data and network automation, and network data models. You'll also gain a broad understanding of Nautobot and its robust features that allow maximum flexibility. A dedicated section will show you how to construct a single source of truth with Nautobot and help you explore its programmatic APIs, including REST APIs, GraphQL, webhooks, and Nautobot Job Hooks. Later, you'll develop custom data models and custom apps for Nautobot and experience its extensibility and powerful developer API. In the last part of this book, you'll discover how to deploy configuration compliance and automated remediation once Nautobot is deployed as a network source of truth.By the end of this book, you'll be able to design and manage Nautobot as a network source of truth, understand its key features, and extend Nautobot by creating custom data models and apps that suit your network and your team.What you will learnUnderstand network sources of truth and the role they play in network automation architectureGain an understanding of Nautobot as a network source and a network automation platformConvert Python scripts to enable self-service Nautobot JobsUnderstand how YAML files in Git can be easily integrated into NautobotGet to grips with the NetDevOps ecosystem around Nautobot and its app ecosystemDelve into popular Nautobot Apps including Single Source of Truth and Golden ConfigWho this book is forThis book is for network engineers, network automation engineers, and software engineers looking to support their network teams by building custom Nautobot Apps. A basic understanding of networking (e.g. CCNA) and knowledge of the fundamentals of Linux, Python programming, Jinja2, YAML, and JSON are needed to get the most out of this book.
