Topic 3 - Intent-driven Closed-Loop automation
Description
Intent-driven operations allow the introduction of self-adapting and self-monitoring capabilities in the operations software stack. This is a key ingredient for the transition from automation into autonomous, zero-touch networks. Closed loops are key enablers for automation that have been successfully used in many industries for long, and more recently for computing and networking applications. Closed-loop automation (CLA) can self-monitor, self-evaluate and self-heal and fulfill all specified requirements. The combination of intent and closed-loop automation prides a powerful tool to capture a consumers needs and provide an intelligent feedback loop.
