Abstract
A method, implemented by a controller, includes steps of: subsequent to converting a bespoke model to Open Application Programming Interface (API) Schema that is Custom Resource Definition (CRD), receiving the CRD; receiving a target that is a data record that represents a network entity; receiving a configuration model instance for the target, wherein the configuration model instance includes one or more values that are compliant to the CRD and the one or more values represent a desired state of the network entity; receiving an observed state of the network entity; and determining drift between the observed state and the desired state.
