Lesson Learned and Key Takeaways
Network automation challenges span the services instantiation, configurations, interconnections, and the resource
management of both physical and virtual resources. To overcome those challenges a cloud services facility should
consider:
●
A set of predictable and replicable PoDs
●
A well-defined, flexible object-based virtual data center model
●
Deciding on the NSI preferred technology
●
Deciding on the NSC to be replicable and stable
●
Deploying VDCs on PoDs as resource pools
●
Maintaining, managing, monitoring, and assuring virtual data center resources by tracking consumption per
device as well as per tenant
Cisco Prime Network Services Controller and northbound orchestration and automation platforms will provide the
needed stability and agility. In upcoming releases customers will
be able to utilize Cisco’s years of experience in
cloud facilities through the use of those products.
