Summary

Nautobot has a significant amount of extensibility features that enable a vast amount of configurability catering to any network design. In this chapter, we learned how to create custom statuses that can better reflect the status of a device or other objects, how tags can be used to better identify services or configurations to an object, how custom fields can be used to extend the data model, how computed fields can dynamically create a new field pulling from existing data sources already in Nautobot, how custom links can enable Nautobot to be the first pane of glass and allow users to jump to any other system, how export templates enable reporting, how config contexts can allow any YAML/JSON data to be tied to a device, how you can easily store YAML data and files in Git and auto-sync repos to Nautobot, and finally, how Relationships and dynamicg groups can be used together or separately to better define groups and associations of objects in Nautobot.
