A Real-World Approach to Intent-Based Networking and Service Orchestration

Intent-based networking is something that has a lot of mystique and buzz-words surrounding it. This talk explores the approach that ESnet took to build our service orchestration software suite as well as giving a few demonstrations of the software in action. This presentation is not an exhaustive explanation of how to build your own intent-based networking environment, but rather an example and overview of a real-world stack that is being used in a production network today and the principles behind it.
