    This first pyATS Genie script instantiates the devnet_sbx_testbed.yml Testbed file which has two DevNet Always On
    Sandbox devices.   It then establishes a connection to each device and executes a show command ("show version").
    All of this is hardcoded and there is lots of code repetition but this first script is intended to show the basics
    without alot of "extras" or flexibility.
