pyATS is a powerful network automation and testing framework designed to help network engineers validate, test, and troubleshoot their infrastructures in a structured and reliable way. Instead of manually checking device configurations and network behavior, pyATS allows you to automate these tasks using Python, making your workflows faster, more consistent, and less error-prone. It is…

Nornir is a Python-based automation framework designed specifically for network engineers who want more control, flexibility, and scalability in their automation workflows. Unlike traditional tools that hide logic behind rigid abstractions, Nornir acts as a lightweight orchestration layer that lets you combine Python code with popular networking libraries such as Netmiko, Scrapli, NAPALM, and pyATS.…

Scrapli is a modern Python library for network automation that provides fast, flexible, and reliable communication with network devices. It is designed with a clean API, supports both synchronous and asynchronous workflows, and offers built-in parsing, logging, and interactive command handling. Scrapli allows us to send single commands or multiple commands to a network device…

If you work with network devices (Cisco, Juniper, Aruba, Fortinet, etc.) and you want simple, reliable SSH automation, Netmiko is one of the best Python libraries to start with. To install it use pip install netmiko. Netmiko uses a device dictionary and ConnectHandler() to create an SSH connection. We should specify the device type in…

Cisco Network Services Orchestrator is a Linux application which orchestrates the configuration life cycle of network devices. NSO uses software packages called Network Element Drivers (NEDs) to facilitate telnet, SSH, or API interactions with the devices that it manages. The NED provides an abstraction layer that reads in the device’s running configuration and parses it…
