 In network management and infrastructure, maintaining accurate and up-to-date information is crucial. This is the concept of a **Source of Truth (SoT)**. An SoT serves as the authoritative repository for a particular network data context, ensuring consistency, reliability, and accessibility across tools and teams. It's a foundational construct to building automated networks that scale with integrity. You can't get much done without it so it's appropriate to prioritise the SoT component of your network architecture strategy. 
 
-### What is a Network Source of Truth?
 
-First and foremost... understand there is no such thing. A source of truth is a conceptual frame of reference and an evocative promised land at which you will never arrive. A prudent first step is to convey to your corporate overlords that this is so... it will save much future heart ache and professional anxiety - trust me!
-
-There absolutely are, however, ***multiple*** sources of truth - each with their own unique context and value in your programmatic network of tools, systems and platforms. We will touch upon the nuance later but the easy gist is to mentally demarcate the difference between the **intended** and **actual** state of your network. This will save many squabbles and empower you to swat away all those cantankerous engineers that insist the only source of truth that matters is the current running state of the network as discovered by the CLI.
-
-Given we are talking about data stores here, in one form or another, it's important to understand that a SoT is in essence a Database.
-
-Some examples would be:
-
-- SQL databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite
-- NoSQL databases: MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis
-- Graph databases: Neo4j, Amazon Neptune
-- Time series databases: InfluxDB, Prometheus
-- Key-value stores: Redis, etcd
-- Configuration files: YAML, JSON, XML
-
-A **Network Source of Truth** is a centralized system that stores comprehensive information about a network's configuration, topology, devices, and related metadata. It acts as the single point of reference, eliminating discrepancies and fostering seamless collaboration among network administrators, engineers, and other stakeholders.
-
-### The Role of Databases in NSoTs
-
-At the core of an NSoT lies a robust database. This database meticulously records every aspect of the network, from device specifications and connections to configuration settings and operational metrics. By leveraging databases, NSoTs provide structured and queryable data, facilitating automation, reporting, and informed decision-making.
-
-### Intent vs. Actuality
-
-Understanding the **difference between intent and actuality** is fundamental in network management:
-
-- **Intent:** Represents the desired state of the network as defined by administrators. It includes configurations, policies, and objectives that outline how the network should operate.
-
-- **Actuality:** Reflects the current, real-world state of the network, including any deviations, anomalies, or changes that have occurred over time.
-
-An effective NSoT bridges the gap between intent and actuality by continuously monitoring the network, detecting discrepancies, and enabling corrective actions to align the actual state with the intended design.
-
