Supercharging MTPutty

PuTTY is the most popular SSH client for Windows. One, and probably the only one, of PuTTY drawbacks is that you need to start a new copy of PuTTY every time you open a new connection. So if you need e.g. 5 active connections you run 5 PuTTY instances and you have 5 PuTTY windows on the desktop.

MTPuTTY (Multi-Tabbed PuTTY) is a small FREE utility enabling you to wrap unlimited number of PuTTY applications in one tabbed GUI interface. You are still continue using your favorite SSH client, but you are no longer messing around with PuTTY windows - each window will be opened in a separate tab.

Problem statement:

Time consuming to manual create 1 entry by 1 entry.

Solution:

Wrote a python script to extract data from excel file via Pandas DataFrame.

Wrote code generation to bind those data to create XML entries.

End result is as below. Imagine you have to do it 400+ times and with this script, you can modify it and reuse whenever your inventory update or when you are going to a new environment.
