New Learning Unit in the Network Automation eAcademy: “Automated Configuration Management: NetBox”

GÉANT Network eAcademy - Automated Configuration Management: NetBox

A new technical unit is available in the Network Automation programme of GÉANT’s Network e-Academy! This recently published learning unit introduces NetBox, a broadly used tool for documenting network infrastructure, which has become very popular among research and education institutions.

The course is particularly useful if you are considering using NetBox for your own documenting needs, or if you are looking to get familiar with it in order to interact with an existing deployment.

In the unit, you will find a broad introduction to the features of NetBox, and considerations on how this tool can be used in configuration management workflows.

Course duration: 25 minutes
