Network to Code, a leader in AI-powered network automation, has announced the general availability of its first major wave of commercial software applications with Nautobot 3.1. The new release expands the Nautobot platform with two flagship commercial applications - OS Upgrades and Operational Compliance - designed to help enterprises automate network change at scale, validate results, and retain operational evidence.

Why it matters

Enterprise network teams are under pressure to move faster across increasingly complex, multi-vendor environments, but operational risk, audit needs, and the burden of proving outcomes continue to slow modernization. Nautobot 3.1 aims to address these challenges by providing tools to execute change, validate results, and retain evidence, helping enterprises transform how networks are deployed, managed, and consumed.

The details

The new OS Upgrades and Operational Compliance applications in Nautobot 3.1 work together to help teams execute change, validate results before and after upgrades, identify operational drift, and retain evidence over time. Across pre-release customer deployments, the applications reduced upgrade time by 80% while delivering complete compliance records.

  • Nautobot 3.1 was announced on April 15, 2026.
