Incremental network intent provisioning

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, causes a processor to perform operations, comprising:

• identifying a first configuration intent of a computing device based at least in part on an execution of an application program interface (API) at a client device;
• identifying a modification of an object within the first configuration intent at the client device as the first configuration intent is being modified, the modification defining a delta between the first configuration intent and a second configuration intent, wherein:
• the delta comprises a size that is smaller relative to the first configuration intent and the second configuration intent, and
• the delta is defined by a change log identifying a type of change log item, the change log item storing the modification of the object in a base class;
• receiving the delta as a payload from the client device;
• and
• provisioning the second configuration intent on the computing device within the computing device based at least in part on the delta.
