## Resource

In this episode of Networking Tech with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore Intent-Based Networking (IBN) — the shift from manual CLI configuration to automated policy-driven network management. Using real-world examples from a global retailer that slashed deployment time by 80 percent and avoided a costly outage, they break down how IBN translates business intent into network actions, how it differs from traditional SDN, and what network engineers need to unlearn. They also discuss the role of closed-loop assurance and why some engineers resist the move. If you're curious about the future of network operations and what skills will matter in five years, this is your episode. #IntentBasedNetworking #NetworkAutomation #NetOps #SDN #NetworkPolicy #ClosedLoopAssurance #NetworkEngineering #Cisco #Juniper #BusinessTechnology #TechPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #NetworkInfrastructure #Automation #DevOps #NetworkEngineer #ITOperations Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
