Mastering Deployment Strategies: Secure, Scalable, and Automated Network Automation

As network automation scales, how we deploy automation solutions becomes just as critical as what we automate. Deployment Strategies ensure that network services are activated seamlessly, changes are controlled, compliance is maintained, and operations are streamlined across multi-vendor environments.

At this year’s Developer Days, one of the three themes is Deployment Strategies: here are some reasons why:

• Security is Non-Negotiable - Authentication, access control (RBAC), and secrets management are essential parts of every deployment.
• Automation Require Governance – NSO’s built-in compliance tools help organizations maintain auditability, drift detection, and policy enforcement.
• Scalability & Resilience are Key – With NSO running in containers, network automation can be deployed and managed like modern cloud applications.
• Observability Drives Success – Real-time insights from NSO + Splunk ensure that deployments are monitored, validated, and compliant with security policies.
• Orchestration & Automation – NSO and Crosswork Workflow Manager (CWM) enables structured, repeatable automation that standardizes deployments, reduces manual errors, and improve cross-team collaboration.

NSO’s service orchestration with CWM’s workflow automation, we enable a deployment strategy that is:

1. Automated – Minimizing manual intervention and reducing errors.
2. Secure – Ensuring that deployments meet governance and compliance policies.
3. Scalable – Supporting multi-domain automation across complex networks.
4. Observable – Providing real-time insights for troubleshooting and optimization.
5. Interoperable - enabling Workflow integration to OSS/BSS through the use of CWM's flexible adapter technology
   
   

Through hands-on sessions, real-world case studies, and expert discussions, Automation Developer Days will provide engineers with the frameworks, tools, and best practices needed to deploy network automation securely, efficiently, and at scale. Stay tuned for the upcoming blogs about the Brownfield and AI Assisted Development.
