Netforce is a network infrastructure automation service for managing and configuring network devices.
- Since it is using OpenStack Neutron's framework, it supports OpenStack Keystone authentication along with noauth.
- It can also be used as a plugin to Neutron leveraging Neutron's routed networks.
- Can be pluged in to Neutron to provide on-demand subnet cap-adds for OpenStack VMs and Kubernetes Pods running on top of OpenStack.
- Can also be used by OpenStack Ironic for provisioning on-demand BMs in VRF network to place a BM in respective VRF(vlan) to access mode from trunk via Neutron update-port operation for different VPCs using routed networks.
- Can be operated individually by a network engineer to configure devices in different data centers as a global api service.

-
NAPALM integration: Increase the device driver coverage by adding more device driver functions.
-
OpenConfig Integration: Integrate with OpenConfig to program openconfig enabled devices using yang models as Netforce gives a unified api layer.
-
Not all Vendor device OS versions have been tested.
-
e.g. new versions of eos supports json parsing and old versions don't. Hence, device drivers are written to support both old and new versions.
