Getting Started with Nornir - Network Automation#
Nornir is a Python library designed for network automation tasks. It allows Network Engineers to manage and automate their network devices using Python. Unlike tools like Ansible that use domain-specific languages, Nornir leverages the full power of Python, providing more flexibility and control over your automation scripts.
If you’re familiar with Ansible, you know that you first set up your inventory, write tasks, and then execute them on all or selected devices concurrently. Nornir works similarly, but the key difference is that you use Python code instead of a domain-specific language.
