Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a processor, metadata for deploying a virtual function on a cloud network. The method may include determining, by the processor, whether deployment of the virtual function is possible without conflicting with the metadata. The method may include based on the determination that the deployment of the virtual function is possible without conflicting with the metadata, designing, by the processor, a cloud plan, or a transport plan. The method may include determining, based on the metadata, a network configuration to implement the cloud plan or the transport plan. The method may include configuring, by the processor, the cloud network using the network configuration.

Abstract: A method includes receiving metadata for deploying a virtual function on a cloud network. The metadata includes a recipe, policy, and template. The method includes, based on the metadata, designing a cloud plan and a transport plan for deploying the virtual function on the cloud network to meet a forecasted demand. The method includes determining a network configuration to implement the cloud plan and the network plan based on the metadata and causing the cloud network to be configured using the network configuration. The method includes instantiating the virtual function on the configured cloud network.

Abstract: An open-loop control assistance (“OLCA”) system can collect data, correlate and aggregate the data, and perform multi-dimensional analytics on the correlated and aggregated data. The OLCA system can then determine plurality of viable options for a next action to be taken by an operator in an open-loop control process, and can determine a specific option as an optimal choice for the operator to select. The OLCA system can present the plurality of viable options and a rationale explaining why the operator should select the specific option. The OLCA system can capture action(s) taken by the operator, and if the action does not correspond to the recommended action, the OLCA system can capture a reason regarding why the optimal choice was not selected. The OLCA system can analyze results from the action(s). The OLCA system can then fine-tune the open-loop control process based upon the results and the cause(s) thereof.
