Abstract

This paper introduces a microservice-based architecture designed to enable automation of network programmability and management. Amid the complexity of today's networks and the diversity of equipment, achieving efficient and reliable network programmability poses a significant challenge. Our architecture leverages the OpenConfig YANG models and the NETCONF protocol to simplify network configuration, automate tasks, and avoid errors. We demonstrate how our solution streamlines the collection and configuration workflows, enabling network operators to efficiently manage complex networks. The paper further presents a performance evaluation of the proposed design, which confirms its efficacy in handling complex configurations and its fault tolerance capabilities.
