Does this work with Terraform?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns for the NetBox Terraform provider, enabling you to manage prefixes, IP addresses, and devices using HCL.

What naming conventions are supported?

The skill enforces a standardized 'service-number-purpose.domain' pattern (e.g., docker-01-nexus.domain) and includes validation scripts to ensure consistency.

How does the DNS synchronization work between NetBox and PowerDNS?

The integration utilizes the NetBox PowerDNS Sync plugin which monitors changes in NetBox and automatically updates A and PTR records in PowerDNS based on defined tag matching rules.

Can I use this skill to manage my Ansible inventory?

Yes, this skill includes configurations for the NetBox dynamic inventory plugin, allowing Ansible to pull host lists and variables directly from your NetBox instance.

What tools are included for querying NetBox via CLI?

The skill includes specialized Python scripts like netbox_api_client.py and netbox_ipam_query.py for listing sites, devices, and checking IP prefix utilization.
