NetBox 4.7 is GA: Cooling Joins the Power Model

NetBox 4.7 is generally available and adds a cooling model that mirrors its existing power model, tracking coolant flow from chillers down to device intakes via new CoolingSource, CoolingFeed, CoolingIntake and CoolingOutflow objects. Devices, racks and modules can now be tagged with a cooling method (air, liquid, hybrid, immersion) and capacity, letting teams filter for racks that support liquid-cooled chassis. The release also natively models channelized breakout interfaces, adds ModuleBayType validation for module compatibility, allows relocating installed modules between bays, and adds end-of-life dates for device/module types. NetBox is now experimentally published to PyPI. Minimum requirements rise to PostgreSQL 15+ and Redis 6.0+, with a non-reversible django-mptt to ltree migration that can block reads and writes for several minutes on large databases.
