<div align="center"> <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netbox-community/netbox/develop/docs/netbox_logo.svg" width="400" alt="NetBox logo" /> </div>  NetBox is an infrastructure resource modeling (IRM) tool designed to empower network automation, used by thousands of organizations around the world. Initially conceived by the network engineering team at [DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/), NetBox was developed specifically to address the needs of network and infrastructure engineers. It is intended to function as a domain-specific source of truth for network operations. Myriad infrastructure components can be modeled in NetBox, including: * Hierarchical regions, site groups, sites, and locations * Racks, devices, and device components * Cables and wireless connections * Power distribution * Data circuits and providers * Virtual machines and clusters * IP prefixes, ranges, and addresses * VRFs and route targets * FHRP groups (VRRP, HSRP, etc.) * AS numbers * VLANs and scoped VLAN groups * Organizational tenants and contacts In addition to its extensive built-in models and functionality, NetBox can be customized and extended through the use of: * Custom fields * Custom links * Configuration contexts * Custom model validation rules * Reports * Custom scripts * Export templates * Conditional webhooks * Plugins * Single sign-on (SSO) authentication * NAPALM integration * Detailed change logging NetBox also features a complete REST API as well as a GraphQL API for easily integrating with other tools and systems. NetBox runs as a web application atop the [Django](https://www.djangoproject.com/) Python framework with a [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) database. For a complete list of requirements, see `requirements.txt`. The code is available [on GitHub](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox). The complete documentation for NetBox can be found at [Read the Docs](https://netbox.readthedocs.io/en/stable/).
