Juniper Apstra vs. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

Apstra Operating System (AOS) is a turnkey application for automating the lifecycle of data center leaf-spine network services. AOS works with your established vendor switch hardware (Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Mellanox) and your switch operating systems (NX-OS, Junos, EOS, Cumulus), brite-box (Dell EMC) or white-box hardware running a variety of switch operating systems including Cumulus and open alternatives (Microsoft SONiC, Dell EMC OpenSwitch OPX). AOS helps you automate your network as a single system, not as complex individual parts.
