The advent of networking technologies, like SD-WAN and public cloud services, fundamentally changed enterprise network domains. These modern networking technologies have introduced new complexities that exacerbate the silos that separate network teams from the application delivery teams that use the public cloud and virtualized infrastructure in data centers to rapidly iterate and adapt to market conditions. These conditions challenge network change and configuration management tools and processes, as networking teams try to align end-to-end networks with the hybrid, multi-cloud architectures that application teams require.
