System and method of generating multi-vendor network fabric digital twins based on intent

A system comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• receive, by an administrator interface, configuration inputs in one or more formats;
• ingest, by a fabric manager of a network fabric, the received configuration inputs;
• process, by the fabric manager, the ingested configuration inputs to create configuration artifacts;
• generat, by the fabric manager, a topology;
• select, based on the received configuration inputs, an appliance from a repository;
• select, based on the received configuration inputs, a test to be executed, wherein applicable scripts are selected from the repository;
• deploy the network fabric as a staging network in cloud or on-prem servers to create a digital twin.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the device to:
• receive, by an administrator interface, configuration inputs in one or more formats;
• ingest, by a fabric manager of a network fabric, the received configuration inputs;
• process, by the fabric manager, the ingested configuration inputs to create configuration artifacts;
• generat, by the fabric manager, a topology;
• select, based on the received configuration inputs, an appliance from a repository;
• select, based on the received configuration inputs, a test to be executed, wherein applicable scripts are selected from the repository;
• deploy the network fabric as a staging network in cloud or on-prem servers to create a digital twin.
