        <h2>Service-based networking for dynamic infrastructure</h2>
        <p>The shift from static infrastructure to dynamic
          infrastructure changes the approach to networking from host-based to
          service-based. Connectivity moves from the use of static IPs to
          dynamic service discovery, and security moves from static firewalls to
          dynamic service segmentation.</p>
