Nautobot Ansible Automation¶

An App for Nautobot, built by Network to Code.

Overview¶

Ansible Automation is a Nautobot application allowing network engineers to run automation tasks without leaving Nautobot. By integrating Nautobot's rich job features with Ansible's job templates, teams can perform common workflows such as OS upgrades, configuration changes, or configuration backups, directly from Nautobot's UI.

This App provides the following functionality:

Connects Nautobot jobs to Ansible job templates for seamless execution
Gives users a unified interface to manage and monitor automation tasks
Puts Nautobot's powerful data models to work using Ansible playbooks
Extends Nautobot's automation capabilities with existing Ansible workflows

Ansible Automation handles the heavy lifting of integrating Nautobot with Ansible Controllers (such as AWX or Redhat AAP, formerly Tower), so that network engineers can prioritize building and running automation workflows.

To get started, take a look at the Installation Guide. From there you can follow the Getting Started guide or explore practical Use Cases to see how to integrate Ansible Automation into your network operations.
