Summary
In this chapter, we explored a few different integration points in Nautobot and Ansible. We looked at a few different ways to manage configurations, exploring multi-vendor modules (the NAPALM and Core modules) that both can send and replace full configurations and perform backups; perform specific configuration changes using Ansible resource modules; and finally, we looked at template configs and sending them with a platform-specific config module.
In the next chapter, we’ll take a deep dive into Nautobot jobs, exploring the power of Nautobot data combined with Python for network automation.
