Use object storage instead of Git Repos for file storage operations

Open jeffkala opened this issue 7 months ago • 3 comments

Environment

  • Nautobot version: 2.x
  • nautobot-golden-config version: 2.x

Proposed Functionality

Extend the nautobot core feature (datasources) and expand it to also support object storage. (think s3, azure storages) etc. This would be an "instead" of feature.

Would most likely be a nautobot core feature, but could investigate this in an app first. Screenshot 2023-11-29 at 2 13 49 PM

Should look to see if native django-storages has anyway to define this.

Use Case

I'm a network engineer on a network with 100s of thousands of devices, git push/pull mechanisms and git in general begins to hit scaling problems. Being able to substitute the use of backup repos with object storage buckets could allow for a better scalability of larger networks.
