Autonomous Networks through Automation

We have come a long way since the days when MOPs (Method of Procedures) were relied upon by human operators to operate a network.
Advancements have been made in the use of scripts and adaptive scripts to automate the network to some extent with occasional human intervention to recover from network failure conditions.
To achieve even higher levels of automation that has the potential to remove human operators from the equation requires devices and network services to be model-driven.
This talk discusses the progression of the level of automation and what is required to achieve an Autonomous Network.
