[dependabot]

Bumps nautobot from 1.5.24 to 2.3.0.

Release notes

Sourced from nautobot's releases.

v2.3.0 - 2024-08-08

This document describes all new features and changes in Nautobot 2.3.

Upgrade Actions

Administrators

Administrators should plan to take these actions during or immediately after upgrade from a previous version. New installations should also take note of these actions where appropriate.

• Python 3.12 is now the default recommended version of Python.

!!! warning "Python 3.12" Because Nautobot prior to 2.3.0 did not declare support for Python 3.12, most Apps similarly needed to previously declare an upper bound of Python 3.11 for their own compatibility. Therefore, older versions of most Apps will not be installable under Python 3.12. Before migrating your Nautobot environment to Python 3.12, it is your responsibility to confirm that all relevant Apps in your environment are also compatible and installable. There is a minor "chicken-and-egg" problem here in that Apps generally cannot declare support for a new Python version before Nautobot itself publishes a release that does so; therefore, as of the 2.3.0 Nautobot release day, most Apps have not yet been updated to declare support for Python 3.12. We'll be working in the following days to promptly update our supported Apps as needed, so stay tuned.

!!! warning "Docker images" As has been Nautobot's policy since version 1.6.1, our published Docker images that are not tagged with a specific Python version implicitly always include the latest supported version of Python. This means that as of the release of Nautobot 2.3.0, the tags latest, stable, 2.3, and 2.3.0 will all indicate Docker images that include Python 3.12, whereas previously these indicated Python 3.11 images. As noted above and below, updating to Python 3.12 may not be immediately desirable (or even possible, depending on the status of your Apps) as a "day one" action. If you need to stay with a given Python version for the time being, you must make sure that you're relying on an appropriately specific image tag, such as 2.3-py3.11, stable-py3.10, etc.

• As noted below, a new system job is provided for automated Dynamic Group cache updates. Administrators should schedule this system job to run on a recurring basis within the Jobs UI, after the upgrade, or on new install. Configuration referencing the DYNAMIC_GROUPS_MEMBER_CACHE_TIMEOUT setting can be safely removed, as it is no longer used. If this setting was being used previously, it is recommended to set the new scheduled job's interval to the same value.
• As noted below, change logging retention cleanup is now handled via a system job. Administrators should schedule this job to run on a recurring basis to meet their needs. The CHANGELOG_RETENTION setting is still used to define the retention period, but the scheduled system job will perform the actual cleanup, if any needed.

Job Authors & App Developers

Job Authors and App Developers should take these actions to ensure compatibility with their Jobs and Apps.

• Job Authors and App Developers should carefully consider the updates to the DynamicGroup API and decide if their use cases dictate changing their group membership access patterns to use DynamicGroup.update_cached_members() to find the correct balance between Dynamic Group performance and membership updates.
• Job Authors and App Developers should carefully consider the updates to the TreeManager default behavior and make necessary changes to their access of Tree based models.
• Django 4.2 is now required by Nautobot, replacing the previous Django 3.2 dependency. Job Authors and App Developers should carefully consider the updates and changes in the Django release-notes (4.0, 4.1, 4.2), especially the relevant "Backwards incompatible changes" sections, to proactively identify any impact to their Apps.

!!! warning "Django 4" Django 4 includes a small number of breaking changes compared to Django 3. In our experience, most Apps have required few (or zero) updates to be Django 4 compatible, but your mileage may vary.

• Python 3.12 is now supported by Nautobot and is now the default recommended version of Python. Apps will likely need to update their packaging in order to explicitly declare support for Python 3.12.

Release Overview

Added

Cloud Models (#5716, #5719, #5721, #5872)

Added the new models CloudAccount, CloudResourceType, CloudNetwork, and CloudService to support recording of cloud provider accounts (AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean, etc.), cloud resource types (AWS EC2, Azure Virtual Machine Service, Google App Engine, etc.), cloud services (specific instances of services described by cloud resource types) and cloud network objects (such as VPCs) in Nautobot.

Device Modules (#2101)

Added new models for ModuleBay, Module, ModuleType, and ModuleBayTemplate to support modeling line cards and other modular components of a device. These models allow you to define a hierarchy of module bays and modules within a device, and to assign components (such as interfaces, power ports, etc.) to specific modules.

Dynamic Group Enhancements (#5472, #5786)

Dynamic Groups now have a group_type field, which specifies whether this group is defined by an object filter, defined by aggregating other groups via set operations, or defined via static assignment of objects as group members (this third type is new in Nautobot 2.3). Additionally, you can now assign a tenant and/or tags to each Dynamic Group, and many more models now can be included in Dynamic Groups.

A new model, StaticGroupAssociation, and associated REST API, have been added in support of the new "static" group type. See also "Dynamic Group Cache Changes" below.
