Intent driven network policy platform

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, the instructions, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to:

• receive a user intent statement including both an action that is capable of being performed in a network environment through one or more network policies for the network environment and a flow filter representing network data flows on which the action is to be applied;
• query an inventory store to identify one or more network entities associated with the user intent statement;
• generating the one or more network policies that apply the action to the one or more network entities based on the action included in the user intent statement;
• enforce the one or more network policies by transmitting the one or more network policies to a network agent configured to implement the one or more network policies on the one or more network entities.
