Summary
It should be clear that there is a lot involved in devising an end-to-end data-driven network automation architecture. This chapter highlighted the key architectural building blocks for network automation, including SoT, automation, orchestration, modern network monitoring with telemetry and observability, and user interactions. You also learned how Nautobot can play an integral role in each block. Now, it is up to you to see where and how it makes sense to integrate Nautobot into your network automation architecture.
In the next chapter, we will shift gears from network automation architectures and dive into the world of Nautobot Apps, learning how to create and build custom data models and Apps.
