## Frequently Asked Questions

How does SandWork help with SONiC management?

How does SandWork orchestrate?

 SandWork continuously compares ****network intent**** with the actual ****network state****, across both ****underlay and overlay**** layers. This ensures your infrastructure behaves exactly as designed. 

What about Enterprise SONiC compatilbility?

 SandWork is built to support****large-scale SONiC deployments**** in enterprise environments. Expect smooth operation, advanced orchestration, and full compatibility with SONiC-based networks. 

What are the stages or managing network devices with SandWork?

In the **design stage**, SandWork helps in planning the **network architecture**. During onboarding, it **verifies device compatibility** and alignment with **network policies** through global intents checks.

In the **staging phase**, it handles **OS installation and upgrades**, performs device greenfield checks to validate new devices, and ensures they meet operational standards.

Finally, the **managing phase** involves continuous monitoring and maintenance, using automated tasks and real-time adjustments to ensure optimal device performance and reliability in the data center.
