Full Network Lifecycle Automation: So Easy Even a CIO Could Use It!
I’ve been around networking since the early 1990’s. My first router was a Cisco AGS running IOS 8.2(3) and had interface cables (appliques?) that sliced the back of your hands when installing them. I would use mainframe telnet emulation software to get to the CLI prompt and type away using show and config commands.
Fast forward 25 years… my hands have healed and telnet morphed to ssh but it’s still all the same process. This, despite the fact that “compute” (whatever happened to calling them “servers”?) was automated over a decade ago and switches effectively became servers with a bunch of ports. But compute automation tools — think Ansible, Puppet, and Salt — were not built for this type of work because networks are distributed systems intertwined in ways that servers will never be. And these tools were meant to handle provisioning..

Arguably, the most important phase is “closed-loop validation in the presence of change”. And at the core of it is what we call Intent-Based Analytics (IBA). Let’s define it and dig deeper into it…

The Dirty Truth about Intent Washing
Any new technology in Silicon Valley will go through a phase where defining precisely what it is can be difficult to do. New ideas need new words to describe them, to keep these ideas distinct in people’s minds. In spite of this, many people will not have heard about any given new and emerging concept.
This creates a window of time where existing vendors with existing products will invariably attempt to further blur an already blurry line in the minds of potential customers about what something new really is. We call this “washing.” For instance, “cloud-washing” is when something that really isn’t “cloud” is talked about as if it were…

The intent mechanism of the Android platform is a powerful message-passing system that allows for sharing data among components and applications. Nevertheless, it might also be used as an entry point for security attacks if incautiously employed. Attacks can be easily sent through intents to components, which can indirectly forward them to other components, and so on. In this context, this chapter proposes a model-based security testing approach to attempt to detect data vulnerabilities
