Network automation data structure for separating data and configuration is what we discuss in this module.
Each configuration has some data that may be different or the same between devices. SNMP community, IP address of NTP servers, network addresses in EIGRP configuration and IP address and AS number of neighbors in BGP configuration are some examples of data in network automation.

In this section, we use inventory files to store and access the configuration data as well.
But in the next section we will store and access data of configurations via its own specific data structure.
