+# ACI Best Practices eBook
+
+ACI is a modern, powerful, and fully programmable data center
+fabric. With almost 10 years in production and thousands upon
+thousands of deployments, there is a lot that can be achieved.
+For IT Operations Teams, the power of ACI also brings with it an
+evolution of the processes to design, configure, migrate and
+troubleshoot.
+
+This e-book is your treasure map to information on various
+aspects of operating ACI. Its intent is to help you make the
+most out of your investment in ACI as a solution, avoid
+common mistakes, and collect various tips and tricks from
+lessons learned by others.
+
+With anything that dares to call itself “Best Practices” we should
+also make it clear that the information contained within attempts
+to address the most common designs and situations. We realize
+that every customer will have unique requirements that require
+sometimes unique solutions. In any case, it is always best to
+consult official Cisco documentation and your own Cisco account
+team to plan for the best results in your own environment.
+
+The format of this document is organized by major operational
+topic. In each topic we will detail the intent and share links to
+video playback plus where to download the source content for
+your own further use. In addition, and where possible, we will link
+and refer you to additional sources that you may find useful.
+
+Each topic is more or less self contained but we present them in
+the order which we feel is most useful. It is not always necessary
+to know the contents of a previous module before reviewing a
+later one.
+
+We assume you have at least introductory level knowledge of ACI
+and its operations.
