Stop Looking for a Source of Truth. Your Network Needs a Source of Intent.

The text discusses the limitations of traditional Network Source of Truth (NSoT) databases in managing modern, complex, and dynamic network infrastructures, arguing that they often become static records rather than proactive tools for network management. It advocates for a shift towards "Intent-Driven" infrastructure, where infrastructure management is based on a source of intent that defines desired future states using declarative code, similar to modern software engineering practices. This approach allows for proactive management, testing, and validation of infrastructure changes, enabling more efficient and error-free deployment. The text highlights Infrahub as an example of a platform designed to implement infrastructure intent, offering a version-controlled, schema-first architecture that adapts to business needs and facilitates automation and compliance without the limitations of traditional NSoT systems. A case study of a Dutch fintech is mentioned, emphasizing the practical benefits of using such a platform to save time and reduce errors, especially in achieving complex AI and automation goals.
