What is Nornir and why should YOU care?

Nornir is a pure Python automation framework intended to be used directly from Python. While most automation frameworks use their own Domain Specific Language (DSL) which you use to describe what you want to have done, Nornir lets you control everything from Python.
Putting simple: focus on your business logic, leave heavy lifting to Nornir
