Article Proposal: Define your datacenter from top to bottom with NetBox

Team Workflows Fedora Magazine

We are planning to write some article about NetBox Documentation with @ngompa. That includes basic information what netbox is, what features it provides (high-level overview), how it can be extended (some nice plugins) and example of real-world use-cases.

And how to deploy it properly (from RPM packages) on Fedora / CentOS.

Does it generate network diagrams? So far we’ve been drawing our local network by hand at our local hackerspace. Would be nice to see a tool that can check if such diagram is up to date and regenerate it.
