 # Ansible and NAPALM Samples
-This GitHub Repo focuses on comparing [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/network-automation) and [NAPALM](https://github.com/napalm-automation/napalm) on Cisco NXOS.
+This GitHub Repo focuses on comparing [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/network-automation) and [NAPALM](https://github.com/napalm-automation/napalm) on Cisco NX-OS and Arista EOS.
+
+Ansible is powerful automation software that you can learn quickly.  Ansible is an open source project, Ansible Engine is the product you can buy enterprise support for.  NAPALM is actually a Python library that implements a set of functions to interact with different router vendor devices using a unified API. NAPLAM isn't a product, but rather another open source project with a community behind it. While many networking use-cases can potentially overlap the two tools augment each other rather than compete directly.  There are even [NAPALM Ansible modules](https://github.com/napalm-automation/napalm-ansible).
