NetBox Zero To Hero - Video 9 - Powering Up!

Hello and welcome to module 9 of the NetBox 'Zero-to-Hero' course. https://zerotohero.netbox.dev/

In this video, Eric will add the facility power panels and feeds for the new Brisbane branch office, and then also add the PDUs and power cable connections, so all the devices in the new communications cabinet can be powered on.

By the end of this module you will be able to:
- Describe how NetBox models facility power as discrete power panels and feeds.
- Understand how to add Power Distribution Units (PDUs) to supply power to individual devices
- Use the web interface to manually add all data relating to facility power including bulk uploading cable connections from CSV data

## Get Hands On
If you'd like to follow along with the examples used in this course, it's super easy to do, and you have a few options:
1. Run NetBox as a container with NetBox Docker - https://github.com/netbox-community/n... - This is the quickest way to get your own dedicated NetBox instance going and it only takes a few minutes to spin up on your laptop!
2. Follow the official documentation - https://docs.netbox.dev/en/stable/ins... and do a full installation of all the NetBox components. These instructions have been tested on Ubuntu and CentOS Linux.
3. Use the public demo instance of NetBox - https://demo.netbox.dev/

The software versions used in the video for this module are:
- NetBox v3.3.2
