NetBox version

v3.5.7

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Provide and support a mechanism for NetBox plugins to register their own remote data source backends, to complement the two backends (git and Amazon S3) currently provided natively. This will likely entail just formally documenting the register_backend() decorator, which is currently an internal resource.

Use case

This will enable users to introduce support for additional backends by installing NetBox plugins.
