Spine and leaf architecture

[BROOKDEBEBE]

 I am currently designing a network using a spine and leaf architecture and came across the following challenges.

1. Is the nexus 9336PQ ACI switch suitable for the spine or is there any other recommended switch?
2. How do we connect to the management (device management) module? Is it just like the other leaf nodes? Or do I put a separate management cabinet …which is the best practice?

And if possible I will grateful if you could recommend a product to use for the leaf switches.

Thanks in advance.

2- Just get any layer-2 switch for management connectivity .
