    Abstract: A controller device manages a plurality of network devices. The controller device includes one or more processing units configured to receive an indication of a stateful intent, the data structure including a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges, each node of the plurality of nodes being representative of a respective network device of the plurality of network devices. The one or more processing units are configured to determine, using an abstract function configured at a node of the plurality of nodes, a stateless intent for implementing the stateful intent and generate low level configuration data for the plurality of network devices based on the stateless intent. The one or more processing units are configured to interface with one or more of the plurality of network devices to configure the one or more of the plurality of network devices with the low level configuration data.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for managing a network. In one example, a device configuration manager is configured to generate, in accordance with a device management protocol, a configuration change request representing a transaction having a first sub-transaction specifying a first configuration change for a network device of the network and a second sub-transaction specifying a second configuration change for the same network device. The device configuration manager is further configured to output the configuration change request to the network device and receive a reply message from the network device. The reply message includes a first response element specifying whether the first configuration change is successfully committed at the network device and a second response element specifying whether the second configuration change is successfully committed at the network device.

    Abstract: A controller device manages a plurality of network devices. The controller device includes one or more processing units implemented in circuitry and configured to determine that one or more stateless intents of a deployed graph model including a first set of stateless intents used to manage the plurality of network devices have changed, wherein stateless intents comprise fully declarative descriptions of an intended state of a network including the network devices, state of one or more of the network devices, or state of storage for the network; maintain both the deployed graph model and an undeployed graph model including a second set of stateless intents including the one or more changed stateless intents; compile the changed stateless intents of the undeployed graph model to generate low-level configuration data for the network devices; and configure the network devices using the low-level configuration data.

    Abstract: An example controller device that manages a plurality of network devices includes one or more processing units implemented in circuitry and configured to: obtain device-level configuration information from a network device of the plurality of network devices at a first time; determine one or more out-of-band (OOB) configuration changes between the device-level configuration information from the network device and previous device-level intent configuration information compiled from one or more intents maintained by the controller device to manage the plurality of network devices; and store the one or more OOB configuration changes associated with the network device in incremental deltas.

    Abstract: Management of network devices using network aware diagnosis techniques. An example method to monitor a network includes constructing, by a controller device that manages a plurality of network devices, a deployed graph model comprising a plurality of models representative of services operating on the network devices within the network. The method also includes receiving an alert, by the controller device, that a service operating on one of the network devices is experiencing a failure. Additionally, the method includes traversing, by the controller device, modeled dependencies within the deployed graph model to perform root cause analysis of the service that is experiencing the failure to determine a resource-level event causing the failure. The method includes. based on the traversing, providing, by the controller device, a report indicating the root cause of the failure.
