Maneuvering through the landscape of network automation can be daunting. Terms seem confusing and evolved from tools rather than architecture (source of truth anyone?)

The Comprehensive Infrastructure Automation (CIA) is an end to end architectural framework that Vendors and Organizations can use to plan their journey.
Publicly available and community driven, CIA aims to provide a common language, definition and models to help propel network automation to the next phase.
