The demonstrated SDN controller is based on DISTRIBUTED CLOUD-NATIVE ARCHITECTURE, which provides resource placement, scalability and migration mechanisms, thus including autonomous self-protected and self-healing mechanisms. It is based on ONF Transport API data models for the required cloud-native micro-services and their integration within the SDN controller. Each microservice provides the necessary scaling, resiliency and core-edge migration mechanisms on defined use cases in order to be deployed under heavy load requests.

The main concepts to illustrate are:

• Container-based uABNO architecture, based on gRPC and protocol buffers.
• Auto-scale mechanisms for multiple use cases: path computation, Machine Learning, Optical impairments.
• Auto-healing mechanism for underlying network element detected faults.
• ONF Transport API 2.0 implementation.
• Web-based User Interface.
