Taking Automation to next level: Drive your network with Microservices#

Shirish Basant Rai, Colt Technology

• Why: Colt is a real carrier doing event-driven microservices for network automation aligned to TMF ODA NaaS standards — a useful signal of where operator automation architectures (and NaaS standardization) are heading.
• What: Colt's evolution from a simple workflow-engine architecture to an event-driven microservices model, and how that architecture naturally aligned with TMF ODA NaaS.
• How: Separation of concerns into microservices, asynchronous workflow and service-orchestration complexity hidden from consumers, code promotion without service disruption, and faster development cycles. (From abstract only — no usable source text, so expect architecture philosophy rather than deployment detail.)
• Where applicable: Colt-specific scale (global carrier, NaaS ambitions); the microservices event-driven pattern is heavy machinery for smaller estates, but the TMF ODA alignment angle matters to anyone selling or consuming NaaS-style interconnect.
