Model-driven programmability refers to using data models to define the desired state of network infrastructure and automate its configuration and management. This approach offers several benefits:
* Infrastructure Resource Optimization: Model-driven programmability allows for more efficient use of network resources by ensuring consistent and optimal configurations. Automation driven by data models helps in reducing human errors and improving the overall performance and utilization of the infrastructure.
* Consistency: Automated, model-driven configurations ensure that network devices are consistently configured, reducing variability and the risk of misconfigurations.
* Scalability: It enables scalable automation solutions that can easily adapt to changing network requirements and topologies.
