| --------------------- |

| CDS comes with native python 3.6 support and Ansible AWX (Ansible Tower): |
| idea is Network Ops are familiar with Python and/or Ansible, and our goal is not to dictate the SBI to use for |
| their operations. Ansible and Python provide already many, and well adopted, |
| SBI libraries, hence they could be utilized as needed. |
| |
| CDS also provide native support for the following libraries: |
| |
| * NetConf |
| * REST |
| * CLI |
| * SSH |
| * gRPC (hence gNMI / gNOI should be supported) |
| |
| CDS also has extensible REST support, meaning any RESTful interface used for network interaction can be used, |
| such as external VNFM or EMS. |
