Cloud Computing in Carrier Grade Networks

This paper is presenting a method of applying Infrastructure as a Code concept in the case of the carrier grade networks in order to orchestrate and automate the deployment of Network as a Service. Even though shared network services have been on the market for a while, a complete automated deployment of virtualized network services and equipment has not been developed yet, so, in our opinion, the new methods of delivering services would permit traditional Ethernet carriers to deliver new service packages to their customers. These new service packages would include connectivity services, Internet connection, virtual router capabilities, network storage and a diversity of cloud computing services.
