It is extremely important that a Source of Truth (SoT) be the intended state of the network when the SoT is used to power network automation. However, it is near impossible to store the authoritative data required to manage network configurations in any single application. This is why it is critical to have a framework that synchronizes data from IPAM/DDI platforms, CMDBs, circuit databases, or any other tool that is the authoritative source for that specific dataset into a Single Source of Truth like Nautobot. This allows users to use existing tools while getting the data into a Single Source of Truth that then has a unified view into ALL data and can be used to power network automation.
