Integration mastery — making cross-domain autonomy work

Sessions in rooms

When teams are siloed, it is much more difficult to solve cross-domain faults effectively, and it could be said that autonomous networks will only ever deliver real value when the different network domains - transport, edge and core - operate together seamlessly. In this session, discover real-world fault management scenarios, learn how to integrate across domains, and gain hands-on experience with validator pipelines, leaderboards, and assurance mechanisms. Through this hour-long learning session, you'll gain a clear insight into the skills, processes, and collaboration styles which are all key to achieving truly autonomous operations.
