So i've been struggling to figure out how all the different network automation tools all work together. I know Python and Linux kind of form the bedrock for everything else, but beyond that I'm unsure. Below is how I have things organized thus far, if anyone could help me understand how they relate to one another so I could make a flow chart / OSI-model-like chart, I think that'll greatly further my understanding. I've been reading through 'Network Programmability and Automation' and 'Python Network Programming', and while there's a ton of information in each about these different tools, there's no chart like the one I'm requesting. I've done web searches pretty thoroughly too, I've found a few charts, but nothing like what I'm asking.
