JA,
What is the current support in NSO for restconf SB?
If we have a “device” that supports restconf and a yang model – how would we talk to that device? Would we import it as a regular netconf device or?
I did not find anything in the docs. A search of the docs yields the NB restconf API interface of NSO.
RESTCONF may be ok when an application only needs to communicate with one agent (device/server/orchestrator/...), e.g. NSO. It's less suitable when an application needs to talk to multiple agents since RESTCONF lacks the concept of network-wide transactions. NETCONF is a much better choice in that situation. So architecturally RESTCONF SB from NSO isn't ideal, given that we invariably have an array of things to orchestrate.
