The Digital Transformation Journey

The GP4L team is actively working on the investigation and development of pilots and use-cases that aim to help organisations implement digital transformations through network automation and orchestration.

The main objectives of this work is to test and validate different approaches to digital transformation by

  • experimenting with various orchestrators
  • integrating multiple components into automated workflows
  • developing processes that can be easily automated
  • implementing components and solutions that are essential for automation and orchestration

Principles

All development and implementation of use-cases related to digital transformation is based on several general principles:

  • Generalised approach

    The design and development process of all GP4L use-cases are done using a general approach that focuses on flexibility and modularity. This ensures that the solution can be easily adapted to a similar use-case scenario.

  • Reusability

    GP4L labs are implement with reuse in mind. You can easily reuse the whole solution or different parts of it, based on your needs. The modular approach includes high granularity ensuring that each optional component can be omitted if necessary via flexible configuration of the solution. Only small, local changes are needed if the solution needs to be adapted to other components.

  • Run in nmaas

    All labs are tested and validated on nmaas. This means that it can be used as a test (or production) playground for anyone interested to implement a selected use-case in their own environment. You only need to follow the provided how-to guide.

  • Open-source

    Any code developed by the GP4L team is available as free open-source repository that comes with accompanying documentation on how to install, configure and reuse. In addition to the source code there are also readily available containers that can be run locally.

  • Diversity

    While working on different topics, the GP4L team is focusing on experimenting and investigating different possibilities for automation and orchestration. This includes the use of different solutions such as orchestrators or source of truth components. The gained knowledge and experience can help others make the right decision when choosing how to implement their envisioned automation and orchestration projects.

Labs

The GP4L team works on the design and implementation of the following labs:
