Abstract

Network service providers are facing challenges for deploying new services mainly due to the growing complexity of software architecture and development process. Moreover, the recent architectural innovation of network systems such as Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Software-defined Networking (SDN), and Cloud computing increases the development and operation complexity yet again. One of the emerging solutions to this problem is a novel software development concept, namely DevOps, that is widely employed by major Internet software companies. Although the goals of DevOps in data centers are well-suited for the demands of agile service creation, additional requirements specific to the virtualized and software-defined network environment are important to be addressed from the perspective of modern network carriers. In this paper, we thoroughly debate DevOps requirements for developing a modern service creation platform by taking EU FP7 project UNIFY as a reference architecture and suggest the corresponding extensions of UNIFY interfaces that meet the discovered requirements.
