Nautobot + Ansible Automation Platform: Automating from a Network Source of Truth

Here is the Github link: https://github.com/ansible-tmm/nautob... In this demo, learn how Nautobot can act as a network source of truth for Ansible Automation Platform to drive reliable infrastructure automation. Many automation environments still rely on spreadsheets, static inventories, or manually maintained data. That leads to drift, broken playbooks, and automation that cannot scale. By using Nautobot as a source of truth, you can centralize authoritative data about your network and infrastructure. Ansible Automation Platform can then dynamically pull that information to automate configuration, validation, and operational workflows. In this video you will see: • What a source of truth is and why it matters for automation • How Nautobot models infrastructure data and relationships • How Ansible Automation Platform consumes Nautobot data for automation • A practical demo showing Nautobot driving Ansible workflows This approach helps teams move from manual inventory management to automation driven by authoritative infrastructure data. If you are working with network automation, infrastructure as code, or platform engineering, integrating a source of truth with your automation platform is a key step toward scalable operations. 00:31 - What is nautobot? 01:00 - Demo start, explaining Inventories 01:57 - Adding a Nautobot Inventory 03:12 - Nautobot Inventory file 06:51 - Event-driven automation 07:31 - Looking at a rulebook 09:17 - Making a change and kicking off a workflow 11:54 - Outro and where to get more information
