Description
GARR-T, the upcoming next generation GARR backbone, is based on programmability and real-time observability for all its constituent parts: the optical transport, the packet network, the datacenters, and the software. Each subsystem is a multitude of interacting elements. Automation is the key to tame these complex stacks.
In GARR we observed that the usual ICT automation approach could bring us in dangerous waters, with arduous implementation challenges.
This contribution presents the GARR approach to the backbone automation problem: an uncommon strategy inspired by multi-agent, complex systems that is driving the design and the implementation of GARR-T orchestration stack.
