+Southbound Interfaces
+-------------------------
+
+CDS comes with native python 3.6 support and Ansible AWX (Ansible Tower):
+idea is Network Ops are familiar with Python and/or Ansible, and our goal is not to dictate the SBI to use for
+their operations. Ansible and Python provide already many, and well adopted,
+SBI libraries, hence they could be utilized as needed.
+
+CDS also provide native support for the following libraries:
+
+* NetConf
+* REST
+* CLI
+* SSH
+* gRPC (hence gNMI / gNOI should be supported)
+
+CDS also has extensible REST support, meaning any RESTful interface used for network interaction can be used,
+such as external VNFM or EMS. \ No newline at end of file
