Manufacturers and device types about netbox-ssot

solution also should not create device templates on it's own if there is an existing template in the system or in the device-type library. Often there is more of valuable information such as weight, size, etc. that is essential for other functions like DCIM.

Yes this is currently missing, but it is a main goal to include device type library in this microservice, because it will be also useful to fetch all data from library for physical devices (interfaces etc.).

The idea is to dynamically generate static code (golang map) with go generate. So on every build there will be map of all data created from devicetype-library, which we will be then able to use to enrich and standardize our values.

This approach though, takes some time to implement, but I will soon start to work on it.

sound like a good plan.
P.S. I soon will create another issue related to deviced and virtual appliances that would impact plan you described a bit.

I will come with a plan in a few days and we can talk more about implementation...
