Efficient network automation with Nornir and Napalm

Nornir is a vendor-neutral, open-source project. It is a multi-threaded network automation framework that abstracts inventory and task execution like configuring the devices, validating the operational data, and enabling the services on the provided hosts which are part of the inventory. As it is multithreaded, it allows managing the configuration of multiple network devices concurrently. NAPALM is a vendor-neutral, cross-platform open source project. It is a python library that provides a set of methodologies for configuration management and operational data retrieval. It supports Cisco IOS-XR, Cisco IOS, Cisco NX-OS, Juniper JunOS, and Arista EOS network operating systems. This session gives an overview of Nornir, Napalm, and the process of concurrently executing tasks to manage network configuration and operational data.
