Thank you for making these videos, great info.
Why would one use the netconf module when we can use network_cli to manage network configuration? Are there specific platforms that only prefer netconf connections?

It would be super handy to show how to deal with removal of network configurations with Ansible. The network is not just adds upon adds forever, there is clean up work that must be done - such as removing an interface. Ansible tends to be very poor at _removing_ configurations since you have to define the interface in host_vars as absent. Seems like a weak way to configure things. Another possibly more complicated example would be a BGP peer. In order to remove it, you have to define it but set it to present: false. That's lame.

Any suggestions on that? Everyone knows ansible can add/change network configs - the real hero will figure out a good way to remove configs!
