What is Event-Driven Automation?

Nokia’s Event-Driven Automation is a cloud-native platform built to manage multi-vendor networks with confidence. It turns complex network changes into safe, automated actions — so you can move faster without the fear of downtime.

Automate the entire network lifecycle

From Day 0 design to Day 2 operations, EDA responds to real-time network events and runs automated workflows without manual intervention. This keeps your data center reliable and reduces operational overhead.

Built on Kubernetes, made for networking

EDA uses Kubernetes at its core — and extends its proven model to the network. You get API-driven control and access to the entire Kubernetes ecosystem to manage your data center fabric.

Features and benefits
