Ansible for networking devices

Since version 2.1, we have seen many new modules for the management of networking devices and softwares. Many of those modules have been contributed directly from the company that creates the device (or software). The big advantage of this, which is based on the idea of Software Defined Networking (SDN), is that having Ansible that manages all your networking infrastructure allows you to have an entire datacenter completely managed within Ansible. This means, having a single language for all components and all people within your IT, and this will allow people to understand better how the company IT works as well as working more closely with each other.
