Network (Automation) eAcademy
0 likes66 views
The document outlines the objectives and initiatives of the Network Automation eAcademy by Géant, focusing on orchestration, automation, and virtualization (OAV) to enhance service delivery in the NREN community. It discusses the need for common terminology, collaborative approaches, and training for effective implementation of OAV principles, along with tools and resources provided to support these efforts. Additionally, a maturity model is introduced to assess and improve OAV capabilities, with resources for training and engagement accessible through their community portal.
