By supporting and automating the day 0/1/2 activities of design, planning, provisioning and operation. Significant opex costs are often incurred in reacting to changes in deployments over their lifetime and also in human error. Intent-driven orchestration automates these activities in a way that is adaptable to change over time (can dynamically generate appropriate execution plan to bring network to desired state) and also reduces human error. This can reduce the effort to provision a network from days to hours. Running as a cloud-native application reduces capex of the management system itself.
