ZeroTouch Provisioning (ZTP) Model and Infrastructure Components for Multi-provider Cloud Services Provisioning

The paper refers to the previous and legacy research by authors, the Open Cloud eXchange (OCX), that has been proposed to address the last mile problem in cloud services delivery to campuses over trans-national backbone networks such as GEANT.

Network Functions Virtualization: The Long Road to Commercial Deployments

This survey provides a detailed background of NFV to establish a comprehensive understanding of the subject, ranging from the basics to more advanced topics, and offers a comprehensive overview of the NFV main concepts, standardization efforts, the benefits, and discussions of theNFV architecture as defined by the European telecommunications standardization institute.

Automation of Network Device Configuration Using Zero-Touch Provisioning - A Case Study

A case study of implementing the ZTP model on the example of Cisco CSR1000v network device in the local area network and review of the results shows the potential that enables such a solution in networks of much larger scales is evident.

Network Automation with a Single Source of Truth in a Heterogeneous Environment

The proposed scheme for network automation in a heterogeneous environment with a single source of truth utilizes open source tools and technologies such as Ansible for the automation process and NetBox as the only source oftruth for configuration data to achieve the targeted automation goal.

Time-to-Provision Evaluation of IoT Devices Using Automated Zero-Touch Provisioning

This paper proposes software-enabled access point (Soft-AP)- and Bluetooth-based ZTP solutions relying only on a single mediator device and evaluates their performances using LOG-A-TEC testbed against manual provisioning in terms of the time required for provisioning (time-to-provision, TTP).
