Abstract

Intent-Based Networking (IBN) is emerging as a powerful approach to managing complex networks by translating business intents into automated configurations. This paper explores the application of IBN in hybrid cloud environments, focusing on its ability to reduce operational complexity and ensure policy compliance. It discusses the role of AI and machine learning in optimizing network traffic, detecting anomalies, and maintaining real-time performance. Through case studies, the research demonstrates how IBN can enhance service reliability by automating change management and network governance processes. Finally, the paper provides recommendations for enterprises seeking to implement IBN frameworks, offering insights on tool selection, governance models, and skill development.
