Operations grimoire/NetBox
From Nasqueron Agora
NetBox is the current source of truth for the network. It's available at NetBox.
Integration with Salt
Ongoing integration projects are in work to serve NetBox data as part of Salt pillar for configuration as code.
It should serve:
- /etc/hosts data for Drake network machines
- the same information available at pillar/nodes/nodes.sls, so we won't need to maintain that anymore
Integration with IRC
Export to a database for Odderon is discussed at T1868.
