1. Intent API (Northbound): Provides policy-based abstraction of business intent.
2. Events and Notifications (Eastbound): To establish a notification handler when specific events are triggered. This mechanism enables external systems to take actions in response to an event.
3. Integration API (Westbound): To scale and accelerate operations in modern data centers. It enables integration of workflows and data with third-party IT Service Management (ITSM) solutions.
4. Multivendor API (Southbound): To support multivendor devices.
