Ansible Engine Parsing and Transforming Data Introduction

This video introduces the Ansible Utils Collection's CLI Parse module, and the problem it solves: converting unstructured CLI output into structured data your automation can actually use. You'll learn how CLI Parse can either run a command and parse its output in one step, or parse existing text, and you'll get an overview of its CLI parser plugins, including TextFSM, NTC Templates, and PyATS, along with what makes each one different and when you might reach for one over another.
