NautoBot

Nautobot is an open-source Network Source of Truth and automation platform designed to help organizations manage, document, and automate their network infrastructure. Built on top of the popular NetBox project, Nautobot extends its capabilities by adding a flexible, extensible framework that supports custom applications, data models, and workflows.

At its core, Nautobot stores authoritative data about network devices, circuits, IP addresses, VLANs, and other critical infrastructure elements. This central repository allows teams to maintain accurate, consistent records that serve as the foundation for network automation and orchestration.

What sets Nautobot apart is its App Platform and Data Validation Framework, enabling users to customize the system without modifying core code. It integrates seamlessly with automation tools like Ansible, Terraform, and Python scripts, allowing engineers to drive provisioning, configuration, and compliance tasks directly from trusted data.

Nautobot also offers version-controlled configuration data, job scheduling, and a powerful GraphQL API for flexible data queries. Whether used for small-scale lab environments or global enterprise networks, Nautobot empowers teams to reduce manual work, increase accuracy, and accelerate network changes—making it a key building block for infrastructure-as-code and modern NetDevOps practices.
