Scrape the CLI! Getting started with Scrapli and its Flavors (Scrapli-Netconf and Nornir-Scrapli)

Are you a pro in CLI commands but tired of manually logging in to each network device and managing the network device configuration and operational data using the command line interface? Then it's time for you to explore Scrapli and automate CLI scraping. Scrapli is a Python library that helps you to connect multiple network devices via SSH or Telnet, synchronously or asynchronously for screen scraping. It is a vendor-neutral, fast, flexible, and well-tested open-source automation tool. It allows you to manage the configuration of multiple network devices simultaneously. It supports Cisco IOS-XE, IOS-XR, NX-OS, Arista EOS, and Juniper JunOS network operating systems. This session gives an overview of Scrapli and its flavors(Scrapli-Netconf and Nornir-Scrapli) that help automate task execution to manage network configuration and operational data.
