Network Automations Fabric - NORFAB
Documentation: NorFab Docs
Contact: Networktocode Slack | NetDev Community Slack | GitHub Discussions
NORFAB is a tool for extreme network automations.
The IDEA 💡
Most of the software to manage networks falls into one of the two categories:
- heavyweight platforms running on dedicated infrastructure
- lightweight scripts or tools developed and run locally
NORFAB goal is to be both - software you can run equally well on your laptop or on a server, centralized or fully distributed, lightweight and feature reach. Capable of doing any use cases without the need to throw gazillions of dollars and man hours at it. Always ready to serve the purpose of unlocking engineers superpowers managing modern network and making their life better.
Key Features 🚀
- Run Anywhere - Windows, MAC, Linux, in a container or VM, on-prem or in cloud, centralized or distributed
- Extend Anything - extendability is in the core of NORFAB
- Integrate with Everything - Python API, REST API, CLI northbound interfaces
- Manage Anything - develop your own services or use built-in to manage your network infrastructure
- Model and data driven - Pydantic models for API, validation and documentation
- Automate Anything - we mean it, sky is the limit on what you can do with NORFAB automating your networks
Architecture 🏦
