Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving a request for a configuration audit of a network device, identifying a class of the network device, retrieving a configuration template for the network device, wherein the retrieving is based on the class of the network device, wherein the configuration template is represented as a hierarchical tree structure, retrieving a current configuration of the network device, translating the current configuration of the network device to a tree data structure, comparing the tree data structure with the configuration template represented as a hierarchical tree structure, identifying discrepancies between the tree data structure and the configuration template represented as a hierarchical tree structure, reporting the discrepancies, receiving instructions to resolve the discrepancies, and modifying one of the current configuration for the network device and the configuration template for the network device, wherein the modifying is responsive to the i

Abstract: A method performed by a processor in a network function virtualization infrastructure includes determining an amount of resources consumed by a virtual network function subsequent to a scaling of the amount of resources in response to an occurrence of a predefined trigger event, determining an amount of time elapsed between the predefined trigger event and a completion of the scaling, determining a key performance indicator value for the virtual network function subsequent to completion of the scaling, evaluating an efficiency of the predefined trigger event that triggers the scaling, based on the amount of resources consumed by the virtual network function subsequent to the scaling, the amount of time elapsed between the detection of the predefined trigger event and completion of the scaling, and the key performance indicator for the virtual network function subsequent to completion of the scaling, and adjusting the predefined trigger event based on the evaluating.
