Morning Brad, I know in an ideal world, in a lab or a proof of concept, upgrading every device would be the obvious and easiest thing to do.
But sadly when dealing with large brown-field networks. Their are often many technical and operational restrictions preventing an IOS upgrade. In this case, deploying key network automation functions is the very thing that will allow us to resolve some design factors, which in turn will ease upgrades to 15! So catch 22, we have to support IOS 12, to get to a place where we can realistically start upgrading all the legacy edge devices to IOS 15.
