Event-Driven Automation
Reliable, simple, adaptable data center network automation
What is Event-Driven Automation?
Nokia Event-Driven Automation (EDA) is a cloud-native infrastructure automation platform with one goal: Human Error Zero. EDA creates multi-vendor networks so reliable that you can make changes without fear and move fast with confidence. EDA simplifies the entire lifecycle management of the network, from provisioning to assurance.
Complete lifecycle management
With EDA, you can automate the entire data center network lifecycle from Day 0 design, Day 1 deployment, to Day 2 operations. EDA quickly responds to network conditions and triggers automated actions in response to specific events. When an infrastructure event occurs, EDA executes operational logic without manual intervention.
Cloud-native Kubernetes
As a cloud-native platform, EDA runs on Kubernetes. But it does more than that: EDA brings the successful Kubernetes concepts and consumption model to networking in the data center. With EDA, you can leverage the Kubernetes ecosystem and API operations to manage and consume the network.
