Turbot's Application Centric Networking model enables all stakeholders (developers, architects, operations, security, and networking teams) to make informed decisions on policies and configuration. This model supports the most common enterprise cloud networking patterns through default configuration, while allowing for customization and deeper levels of specificity and complexity to support edge cases. In this whitepaper, you will learn about basic building blocks that can effectively communicate context and intent to Turbot's automation engine, so that policy adherence can easily be calculated and acted upon in a consistent and logical way.
