en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Linux Foundation's LF Networking (LFN) organization has adopted an open source orchestration platform called StratoWeave, designed to automate and manage large-scale, complex network infrastructure.

The open source StratoWeave project was developed by LFN member organization Deutsche Telekom (DT) as a solution to address the increasing distribution and cloud penetration in network architectures. Leveraging a hierarchical declarative model and responsive closed-loop automation, the technology eliminates the need for manual scripting, helping operators define the desired final state of the network in multi-vendor and multi-domain environments.

Ian Farrer, Senior Architect of Technology at DT Group, explained that StratoWeave enables operators to achieve robust network automation more easily, transparently, and flexibly. Joining LF Networking provides a neutral and collaborative environment for the project, where DT can work with the broader community to refine the platform, expand integrations, and help Communication Service Providers (CSPs) build automation systems that evolve with their networks.

Arpit Joshipura, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Networking, Edge, and IoT at the Linux Foundation, added that by bringing declarative, model-driven orchestration to an open community, StratoWeave creates new opportunities for collaboration across LFN projects and helps advance its shared vision of AI-native, zero-touch network operations.

StratoWeave joins several open source initiatives under LFN that have expanded in recent months, including Huawei's autonomous network-based framework and the full-stack open Radio Access Network (RAN) software stack provided by the O-RAN Software Community (O-RAN SC), chaired by a DT representative.

With StratoWeave and O-RAN SC, DT's open source influence in the telecommunications sector is assured. The German operator is a founding member of Sylva, a cloud software framework for production-grade, sovereign telecom cloud stacks for European operators. DT is also a member of the Open Networking Foundation and the API-centric Camara project.
