•    Enable automated provisioning, configuration management, and lifecycle operations.
•    Develop standard APIs and integration interfaces for network actions.
•    Implement configuration compliance and drift management mechanisms.
•    Support high availability and resilience readiness (failover, rerouting support).
•    Integrate network telemetry into centralized platforms AI-driven diagnostics and closed-loop automation workflows.
•    Ensure all automation workflows are secure, auditable, and compliant.
b)    Data Centre Operations (Infrastructure Automation + Energy & Space Optimization)
•    Automate compute, storage, and network provisioning across data center environments.
•    Develop runbook automation for operational tasks (restart, failover, scaling).
•    Automate patching, upgrades, and lifecycle management.
•    Enable infrastructure data pipelines and integrations to support AI-based anomaly detection and predictive maintenance systems.
•    Enable event-driven execution workflows from monitoring systems.
•    Maintain automation pipelines (CI/CD) for infrastructure operations.
•    Ensure robust execution frameworks with rollback and validation mechanisms.
•    Enable centralized monitoring of Power consumption (UPS, PDU), Cooling systems (HVAC, CRAC) & Environmental metrics (temperature, airflow, humidity)
•    Enable automation readiness for Cooling optimization and airflow balancing and Power utilization tracking (PUE and efficiency metrics)
•    Enable execution of optimization actions to improve energy efficiency and reduce costs.
•    Support data collection and execution readiness for AI-driven energy optimization (cooling efficiency, power balancing).
c)    Business Innovation & Strategic Projects
•    Embed “automation-first” principles into transformation programs (e.g., iBNG, SiX AntiDDoS, IP-Optical SRv6 Network etc).
•    Enable zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) for new deployments.
•    Develop API-driven and programmable interfaces for new systems.
d)    Monitoring, Visibility & Dashboard Enablement
•    Implement centralized monitoring frameworks across network and data center domains.
•    Enable real-time visibility of performance, utilization, and environmental metrics.
•    Integrate telemetry into DCIM and monitoring platforms.
•    Support development of Operational dashboards (NOC / CXOps) & Executive dashboards (capacity, utilization, risk)
•    Enable alarm ingestion and visualization (without owning RCA logic).
•    Enable dashboards that incorporate AI-driven insights (e.g., anomaly indicators, predictive alerts)
•    Ensure telemetry pipelines support AI/ML consumption (real-time, structured, high-quality data feeds).
e)    Automation of Operations 
•    Develop automation for Provisioning and configuration management, Infrastructure and network lifecycle operations & Runbook automation for repetitive tasks
•    Enable execution of Network actions (configuration updates, resets) &  Infrastructure actions (restart, scaling)
•    Provide secure, standardized APIs for execution.
