AOS自动化网络基础设施和服务的整个生命周期。从客户声明的意图叙述开始，AOS将设计和部署网络配置所涉及的各种进程自动化，并通过实时遥测和分析提供持续验证，以确保网络始终“准备就绪”。AOS 2.0提供了VXLAN立即可用的交钥匙式（turnkey）、独立于供应商的自治式生命周期操作，它跨越设计、实施、操作和验证的生命周期 – 适用于任何虚拟、基于容器的和裸机的工作负载。
例如，网络团队可以在IPfabric上自动配置与验证VXLAN，无需使用SDN控制器或EVPN。如果没有AOS，将不得不执行许多手动的VXLAN管理步骤。有了AOS，这些手动的步骤就完全地自动化了。

“I need to connect 1000 virtual machines in the most cost‑effective way.”
“I need to connect these 50 end points using a virtual network.”
"I need to connect 9 compute racks and 1 storage rack in a non-blocking way."
Operate
Apstra generates a blueprint that includes all required configurations.
Build
"I need to pull my IP addresses from my IPAM system, using open networking for compute, deep buffers for storage, and specify rules for cabling."
Change 1
"I need to add a rack to my POD, and those 200 virtual machines to this application."
Change 2
"I need to change the cabling to the storage rack."

Deploy
After building my infrastructure and cabling it according to my blueprint I need to:
After building my infrastructure and cabling it according to my blueprint, I need to:
1
Ensure infrastructure matches intent in blueprint
2
Deploy blueprint onto infrastructure
3
Continuously track deployment, flagging deviations from intent
Validate
I need visibility, alerting, and controls to ensure the infrastructure is operating as intended.
- I need to stream all my telemetry to my time series database and visualize it in grafana.
-
I need to query all paths between server 1 and server 2, which have utilization above 50%. - I need to add a new telemetry parameter on the fly to help me with troubleshooting.
