Nautobot Use Cases

Flexible deployment options accelerate network automation.

Nautobot allows you to model your network and store network data to drive network automation with the intended state in mind. Nautobot has opinionated data models, but offers flexibility to cater to your specific network designs. Nautobot enables strict adherence to data standards allowing users to define business rules on the network data that is stored within Nautobot. Nautobot is built with network automation in mind offering everything from RESTful (HTTP) and GraphQL APIs to event-driven webhooks and native Git integration to seamlessly load YAML data and scripts directly into Nautobot while maintaining your NetDevOps workflows.

Nautobot is a Network Automation Platform that provides a robust developer API that enables the creation of Nautobot Apps to further drive network automation built directly atop the Source of Truth. There are already dozens of existing open source Nautobot Apps from Network to Code built to solve the most common network challenges from automated backups and config compliance to managing the lifecycle (EOS/EOL) of devices and modeling your multi-vendor firewall policies. Nautobot Apps can be as lightweight or as robust as needed to help drive network automation. From new Nautobot models required for your network design to new network automation applications, Nautobot Apps give you control of your network automation journey. Using Nautobot as an Automation Platform, organizations can deliver tailored network automation extensions and applications 70% faster.
