Description
Whether it is simple scripting to minimize repetitive tasks, or comprehensive orchestration of an entire computational workflow, there can be no mistaking the significant emergence of automation and orchestration in the networking and larger IT communities. This session explores examples of our peers experience forging ahead into the vast frontier of automating all the things.
The Network eAcademy team in GÉANT has developed an Orchestration, Automation and Virtualisation (OAV) Maturity Model as a tool for the NRENs to self-asses their level in four dimensions: Architecture & Technology, Processes & Services, Vision & Strategy, and People & Organisation. Each one of the dimensions has six possible stages marked from the lowest to the most advanced stage as sit,...
Optical and IP networks Integration, with the introduction of 400ZR/400ZR+ pluggables, leads to the need for an operational model to enable efficient, seamless multilayer, cross-domain operations, bridging the gap, as much as possible, between operational expertise, often “silo-ed” into the IP layer and the optical layer.
This session will explore the main multilayer coordination use cases

GÉANT is building an automation framework with the intention of sharing practices, ideas, code and tools with the community and we want to give practical information about how we are designing, building, distributing and maintaining it. Both SURF and ESNet have successfully navigated this road with WFO and GÉANT is committed to contributing to this effort and lowering entry barriers. We will...
