Last week I wrote about the interesting challenges you might encounter when using data generated by a Junos device in an Ansible playbook. Unfortunately it’s not just Junos – every system built around XML-based data structures might experience the same issues, including Cisco Nexus OS.
To be fair to Ansible developers: it’s not an Ansible problem, the problem is caused by fundamental incompatibility between XML and JSON encodings, and the naive use of standard XML Python libraries. It’s just that engineers who might stumble upon that problem commonly use Ansible.
