What is Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI)?
Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) enables the automation and management of network configurations based on the requirements of applications. It provides a centralized, policy-driven approach to network management, allowing users to define policies that apply to applications rather than the underlying network infrastructure. This abstraction allows for faster deployment, greater agility, and reduced operational complexity when provisioning new applications or modifying existing ones. ACI leverages a scalable and resilient fabric architecture to deliver reliable connectivity between application components, with the ability to dynamically adjust network resources as application needs evolve
