Intent-Based Management

Intent-Based Management (IBM) is a modern approach to overseeing complex networks and systems. It allows administrators to specify desired outcomes or goals, such as security or performance levels, in natural language or high-level instructions. The system then automatically configures and adjusts the network to achieve these goals, even as conditions change. Essentially, IBM focuses on defining what you want the network to accomplish, and it handles the how, streamlining management, reducing errors, and improving agility by dynamically aligning network operations with organizational objectives.
