Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for managing a network. In one example, a device configuration manager is configured to generate, in accordance with a device management protocol, a configuration change request representing a transaction having a first sub-transaction specifying a first configuration change for a network device of the network and a second sub-transaction specifying a second configuration change for the same network device. The device configuration manager is further configured to output the configuration change request to the network device and receive a reply message from the network device. The reply message includes a first response element specifying whether the first configuration change is successfully committed at the network device and a second response element specifying whether the second configuration change is successfully committed at the network device.

Abstract: Techniques are described for in-service configuration data migration for distributed micro service-based applications. In one example, a network device comprises a plurality of legacy data repositories comprising configuration data in key-value pair format that specifies a plurality of parameters and corresponding values for operation of the network device, and a hierarchical configuration data model having a plurality of nodes arranged in a hierarchical organization having a root node and a plurality of leaf nodes. Each of the nodes of the configuration data model is configured to store a set of configuration data parameters for the network device. One or more of the nodes includes a plurality of external references to respective parameters of the plurality of parameters stored within the plurality of legacy data repositories. Process circuitry is configured to perform a migration of the configuration data from the legacy data repositories to the hierarchical data model.

Abstract: Failure impact analysis (or “impact analysis”) is a process that involves identifying effects of a network event that are may or will results from the network event. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes generating, by a control system managing a resource group, a resource graph that models resource and event dependencies between a plurality of resources within the resource group; detecting, by the control system, a first event affecting a first resource of the plurality of resources, wherein the first event is a network event; and identifying, by the control system and based on the dependencies modeled by the resource graph, a second resource that is expected to be affected by the first event.

Abstract: A controller device manages a plurality of network devices. The controller device includes one or more processing units implemented in circuitry and configured to determine that one or more stateful intents used to manage the plurality of network devices and represented by a graph model are degraded due to assigned resources for the stateful intents having become degraded; in response to determining that the one or more stateful intents are degraded, determine resources for the stateful intents, the resources corresponding to vertices of the graph model; provision the stateful intents using the determined resources; determine whether the provisioning of the stateful intents was successful; compile at least one of the stateful intents that was successful into low-level configuration data for at least one network device of the plurality of network devices; and configure the at least one network device using the low-level configuration data.

Abstract: A controller device manages a plurality of network devices. The controller device is configured to receive, for a data structure, a configlet specifying a set of configuration changes to be applied to a resource of a plurality of resources of the plurality of network devices. A low level configuration for each respective owned resource of a set of owned resources of the plurality of resources includes a pointer indicating an owner for the respective owned resources. The one or more processing units are further configured to determine the set of configuration changes does not conflict in response to determining the low level configuration for the resource does not include a pointer indicating the owner for the resource is not the configlet and apply the set of configuration changes to the resource in response to determining the set of configuration changes does not conflict with the set of owned resources.

Abstract: In general, techniques are described for automatic intent provisioning and management in computer networks. A device comprising a processor, a memory, and an interface may perform the techniques. The processor may obtain a policy that includes high-level configuration data defining a service to be deployed within a network, the high-level configuration data including resource selector criteria that identifies one or more criteria for selecting a resource to support the service from a plurality of potential resources. The processor may also determine, based on the resource selector criteria, the resource to support the service from the plurality of potential resources, and translate the high-level configuration data to low-level configuration data specific to the determined resource. The memory may store the low-level configuration data specific to the determined resource. The interface may enable configuration, when provisioning the service, the determined resource using the low-level configuration data specific to the determined resource.

Abstract: In one example, a network management system (NMS) is configured to enable a target network device to support one more network services by generating a translation template to map a vendor neutral model to a device specific model. The NMS determines similarity scores between nodes in the vendor neutral model and nodes in the device specific model. Based on the similarity scores, the NMS generates a translation template from the vendor neutral model to the device specific model. Using the translation template, the NMS may configure the target network device to support the one or more network services.

Abstract: A system identifies a source intent policy model that is associated with a graph having a plurality of source nodes connected by a plurality of source edges, identifies a set of source nodes of the plurality of source nodes, and translates the set of source nodes to generate a set of target nodes. The system identifies a subset of target nodes, of the set of target nodes, that are not included in a target intent policy model that is associated with a graph having a plurality of target nodes connected by a plurality of target edges. The system determines a hierarchical order associated with the subset of target nodes and the plurality of target node, and causes the target intent policy model to be updated to include the subset of target nodes and the plurality of target nodes, such that the graph is ordered according to the hierarchical order.

Abstract: A device may receive license data identifying device licenses and organization licenses associated with an organization of users of a multi-tenant system, and may identify, in the license data, entitlements for licenses associated with the organization. The device may combine the entitlements to generate combined entitlements, and may determine an entitlement count of the combined entitlements. The device may add quantities of new entitlements to the entitlement count, and may identify, in the license data, roles of the users and capabilities associated with each of the roles. The device may map the entitlements and the capabilities to generate a mapping, and may authorize a particular user based on the mapping. The device may process usage of the entitlements, with a machine learning model, to predict future usage of the entitlements, and may determine entitlement recommendations based on the future usage. The device may provide the entitlement recommendations for display.
