Design Lifecycle Management

[chadell]

Environment

• Nautobot version: 1.x and 2.x
• nautobot-design-builder version:

Proposed Functionality

This is a parent issue to track different features that could enable Design Builder to support a complete lifecycle of design instances/implementations.

This is a list of features (in feature_delices branch):

• Persist in the DB the implementation of a design, with a reference to all the objects and changes associated
• Allow to decommission all the changes done from an existing instance of a design, understanding design instances dependencies
• Allow to update a design instance by rerunning the design implementation with new input data
• Allow to use of different versions of the design related to a design instance to allow concurrent versions with different flavors -> Update Design Deployment with different version of the Designs #150
• Protect DB objects that are managed completely or partially by a design instance
• Allow customization of data mappings from DB objects related to a design instance to be exposed via APIs -> Allow customization of data mappings from DB objects related to a design instance to be exposed via APIs #151

Use Case

Allow for implementing a complete design-oriented source of truth management.
