Abstract: A centralized configuration management system (CCM) may receive, from an NMS device, a request concerning a configuration for a microservice associated with the NMS device. The CCM may identify, based on the request, a first data model associated with default configuration information. The CCM may identify, based on the request, a second data model associated with customized configuration information. The CCM may generate, based on the first data model and the second data model, a response that includes at least one configuration parameter. The CCM may send the response to the NMS device to allow the microservice to be configured based on the at least one configuration parameter.

Abstract: Techniques are described for in-service configuration data migration for distributed micro service-based applications. In one example, a network device comprises a plurality of legacy data repositories comprising configuration data in key-value pair format that specifies a plurality of parameters and corresponding values for operation of the network device, and a hierarchical configuration data model having a plurality of nodes arranged in a hierarchical organization having a root node and a plurality of leaf nodes. Each of the nodes of the configuration data model is configured to store a set of configuration data parameters for the network device. One or more of the nodes includes a plurality of external references to respective parameters of the plurality of parameters stored within the plurality of legacy data repositories. Process circuitry is configured to perform a migration of the configuration data from the legacy data repositories to the hierarchical data model.
