Textbook in PDF format

Introduction
Digital transformation is all about applications and agility.
Modern digital services are usually built from multiple applications — especially in this age of microservices — and both your staff and your network must be optimized for quickly creating and deploying new services, for changing services at the drop of a hat, and for quickly scaling applications that
can experience 50 to 100 percent yearly growth.
According to a 2018 McKinsey survey, 68 percent of respond­ ents’ objectives were digitizing the organization’s entire operating model; less than half had a more limited objective of either launching new products or services or interacting with external partners through digital channels. The same survey reported that less than 30 percent succeed, with organizations of fewer than 100 employees reporting a successful digital transformation 2.7 times
more often than organizations with more than 50,000 employees.
Research shows that digital transformation is a huge endeavor. The last thing you need is for your network to get between your innovative new services and your customers, employees, and partners.
Intent­based networking (IBN) has become a hot buzzword in the networking industry, with marketing departments at all sorts of vendors waving the “intent flag.” Some have legitimate products, some have cobbled together bits and pieces out of their product portfolios and called it an IBN solution, and some supposed IBN products perform only a part of what a real IBN system (IBNS) does.

You also delve into what features and characteristics an IBNS requires to fulfill its mission. You look at practical examples and testing of IBN before circling back to the benefits, just so you leave with a good feeling
