Hi, I have the same feedback as Andy on this one.
Thanks James From: netmod <[email protected]> on behalf of Andy Bierman <[email protected]> Date: Friday, June 18, 2021 at 16:48 To: Last Call <[email protected]> Cc: NetMod WG Chairs <[email protected]>, Joel Jaeggli <[email protected]>, NetMod WG <[email protected]>, [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [netmod] Last Call: <draft-ietf-netmod-nmda-diff-09.txt> (Comparison of NMDA datastores) to Proposed Standard Hi, I tried to get a couple companies interested in this draft but it did not really work for them. There is low demand for an NMDA diff but high demand for a more general "YANG data compare" operation. The main issues raised were: 1) can only compare 2 datastores Want to compare a datastore to a backup (or more generally a URI, ala copy-config) 2) The output is only YANG Patch Want a "config" container that can be used with the "edit-config" operation. NETCONF clients cannot use the YANG patch format to edit a datastore with the differences 3) Not interested in the complex filtering and "origin" attributes Not applicable to the use-case. The main use-case: 1) make a backup of a server (or already have a common baseline shared across servers) 2) make config changes to the server and test them out 3) get a diff that can be used as a "patch" to the backup 4) apply the patch to different servers (that are running a compatible config as the backup or baseline) I realize there are no standard "backup" and "restore" operations so I am not suggesting that the draft be redone to support this use-case.
