Network Automation Summit: Building the network automation toolset (On-Demand)

What tools does a telco need in order to implement and run network automation processes? What is the size and shape of the available ecosystem of providers and products, and how much choice do they have? Should they select multiple tools to work together that operate within a common framework, or select a pre-integrated or bespoke solution from a preferred partner? And do they need a new set of technology partners to achieve their goals?

The panel discussion and Q&A show was broadcast live during day one of the Network Automation Summit. Some of the questions asked by the audience were:
What is the size and shape of the available ecosystem of providers and products?
What’s the benefit of getting multiple automation tools to interwork and operate within a common framework, and what are the challenges of taking this approach?
Operators need to manually optimise AI models online – what's the optimal solution to handle this challenge?
Can you unify the automation of cloud-native and legacy workloads?
Are there any standards for automation software tools and are there sufficient APIs?
