Network Automation with Nautobot: Adopt a network source of truth and a data-driven approach to networking. Transform the way your network teams think about and deploy enterprise network automation through the power of Nautobot’s open-source platform.
Nautobot enables network teams to build a scalable and extensible network source of truth that provides a foundation to power any network automation stack.
With the help of this guide, you’ll learn how to deploy, manage, and integrate Nautobot as a source of truth and network automation platform. As you progress, you’ll learn what a network source of truth is, the relationship between data and network automation, and network data models.

A dedicated section will show you how to construct a single source of truth with Nautobot and help you explore its programmatic APIs, including REST APIs, GraphQL, webhooks, and Nautobot Job Hooks. Later, you’ll develop custom data models and custom apps for Nautobot and experience its extensibility and powerful developer API. In the last part of this book, you’ll discover how to deploy configuration compliance and automated remediation once Nautobot is deployed as a network source of truth.
