Network Automation Insights - Understanding the 6 Levels of Network Autonomy
Course Details
This Network Automation Insights series provides a set of short, focused introductions to the technologies, architectures and operational concepts driving the move towards more autonomous networks.
Across the series, learners explore practical automation with Ansible, intent-based networking and TM Forum APIs, closed-loop and self-healing use cases, autonomous network levels and domain design, as well as emerging approaches such as digital twins, AI-driven optimisation and agentic AI. Together, the modules show how automation is evolving from individual tools and workflows into coordinated, policy-driven and increasingly intelligent network operations.
Where does your network really sit on the path to zero-touch? This course breaks down the TM Forum's six levels of autonomy, from manual operations to fully self-evolving networks. Learn the cognitive dimensions behind each level, and how operators are progressing today.
