Currently, the platform component in NetBox lacks practical capabilities for managing software upgrades, and I believe implementing a feature similar to Nautobot's Device Lifecycle would be great.
A user-friendly interface for initiating and tracking software upgrade tasks.
Notifications or alerts to inform users about available software updates for their devices.
Please consider.

Use case
The ability to define software versions and track them within NetBox. Support for associating software versions with devices and managing their upgrade status. |
Im currently working on a plugin to upgrade devices and tracking the actual running version. I think this will take 1-2 month until the official release. Actually I plan to only support cisco devices …
Where would a source of truth be for what the latest version of software is available for specific devices/vendors?
Agree wholeheartedly with this. Looking currently internally at how we manage our upgrade cycles and associated reporting. Taking a look at the Nautobot DLM models at the moment to see how they could be re-used/ported as a base for an upgrade management plugin.
