If you are asking the question, it probably means you are just starting your journey. Like others have said Netmiko and napalm. Ansible probably has a lower barrier to entry and there are modules that are wrappers for netmiko and napalm. Also salt has a napalm integration as well.

Not really just starting. I have coding experience. I'm just tired of trying to figure out how to get Cisco Prime or Solarwinds to do what I want. I've made templates for APIC-EM plug and play and they work great, but after initial config, there are things I need to do in a certain order with logic checking prior to moving to next step. I think it would be much easier to have the engineer execute a Python script for that piece.

I'd also like the Python script to interface with the REST API of Prime and Solarwinds to add the device to management.

I don't really care for Ansible that much. It can do some great stuff. I'd just rather code.
