Abstract: Example methods and systems for intent-based network virtualization design are disclosed. One example may comprise: obtaining configuration information and traffic information associated with multiple virtualized computing instances, processing the configuration information and traffic information to identify network connectivity intents and mapping the network connectivity intents to a logical network topology template. Based on a first switching intent, a first group may be assigned to a first logical network domain and the logical network topology template configured to include a first logical switching element. Based on a second switching intent, a second group may be assigned to a second logical network domain and the logical network topology template configured to include a second logical switching element. Based on a routing intent, the logical network topology template may be configured to include a logical routing element.
