Let us assume, the networking team has received a call from the development team that they have created a new application.
They need some virtual networks, routing zones to deploy this application.
Within Apstra, it is very easy to define that intent - where those VMs and networks are located.

The intent is easy to define- where the machine are located and what policies are needed in place. Let us create a simple one for the sake of this example.
We are going to create a routing zone.

To get started click on 'Stage"
Click on "Virtual" tab.
Note: As a pure software implementation, the Apstra AOS operating system is installed on a server or on any VM. The device agents, which are installed on the device itself or outside, ensure that your existing network devices connect to the software. They can then be combined in the network design phase as logical devices and racks to form a template (blueprint).

Choose the appropriate IP subnet such that the application is available on all the devices in the fabric. This is because the development team is certain to make the application available to all the employeed within the orgnaization.
Please note the configurations have not yet been pushed to the devices.
