Open Source Network Automation for Modern Enterprise Networks

For over a decade, Network to Code has led the way in open source network automation—creating Nautobot, a powerful Network Source of Truth, and a rich ecosystem of tools that help engineers and IT leaders design, operate, and automate complex, multi-vendor networks with confidence.

Open Source Network Automation for Modern Enterprise Networks

Network to Code Was Founded On a Simple Belief: Open Source & Community Collaboration Are How We Transform Networking.

Long before “network automation” was a buzzword, our team was writing code to remove repetitive work for network engineers. Instead of keeping that work closed, we shared it with the community—publishing libraries, Ansible content, and tools that made it easier to interact with devices, manage configurations, and validate network state.
For the global NetDevOps and network automation community, our open source projects are both a toolbox and a knowledge base for building modern, automated infrastructure.

Network to Code was created to bridge the gap between networking and software — and that starts with open source.

The Extensible Network Source of Truth & Automation Platform

Designed for IT leaders automating hybrid, multi-vendor networks.

Nautobot is where your network’s truth begins. As an open source, extensible Network Source of Truth & Automation Platform, Nautobot centralizes critical network data and context—empowering teams to automate with accuracy, consistency, and speed. From modeling and visualization to integration and orchestration, Nautobot provides the foundation that transforms manual management into modern automation.

Many of these tools start as internal accelerators on customer projects. When we see repeated patterns that would benefit the community—new device drivers, new parsers, new automation patterns—we work to generalize them, harden them, and release them as open source so everyone can build on the same proven building blocks.  This is core to who we are, and will continue to share these hard earned insights and tools with the community.

 Open source thrives on community. Whether it’s contributing code, sharing feedback, or
engaging in discussions, you can help shape the future of network automation.

Open Source Collaboration for the Future of Network Automation

Open source is more than code — it’s about people, collaboration, education, and the future of networking. Join us.

We believe the best open source projects are shaped by the people who use them every day. That’s why our open source story is inseparable from the Network to Code community. At Network to Code, open source is how we design the future of networking together—with engineers, architects, operators, and leaders all contributing to a more automated, reliable, and intelligent networked world.
