This session provides real life use cases and examples as to why an enterprise or service provider would build automation into their solution.

Putting real life context around automation to explain how it can help with service activation, network discovery, lifecycle management and many other use cases.

We will also focus more on how to integrate automation into network design rather than focusing on the individual automation tools and how each tool works - there is loads of great training for that already, so we are focusing on network design!
