Using Ansible & Postman to get network information from BlueCat Address Manager

In this video, John Capobianco, Senior IT Planner and Integrator at the Canadian House of Commons, joins BlueCat to show how he's leveraged Postman and Ansible to get network information from BlueCat Address Manager (BAM) in an automated way.

The resulting information can be pulled in both a .csv, and human-readable format. Use it to understand the network's current state as well as troubleshoot changes that may have occurred.
