An Automatic Configuration Framework for Cloud-Network Infrastructure

The telecom network has expanded significantly in recent years, incorporating increasingly large-scale, diverse business models, and sophisticated technology. Although there is opportunity for business growth, the number of settings and procedures makes manual configuration impossible. In addition, the current automatic configuration solutions often only support a small selection of items. So, for cloud-network infrastructure, we propose an automated configuration framework. The framework covers task design, parameter arrangement, sequence arrangement, scenario design, scheme design, and interaction with configuration tool interfaces. Through parameter configuration and a universal interface, the framework can integrate new configuration tools. The experimental results show that our automatic configuration framework can reduce the configuration efficiency from hour level to minute level, which proves the effectiveness of the proposed framework.
