Intelligent Automation Platform Ecosystem

Providing the best developer experience for building rApps

EIAP Ecosystem

The Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform Ecosystem (EIAP Ecosystem) empowers developers with all the capabilities needed to build, validate, share and operate automation applications, known as rApps.

5G RAN Automation Digital transformation

The Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform (EIAP) Ecosystem is an open structure of key assets, services and infrastructure that enables rApps developers to leverage the capability of the Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform to independently develop high-quality and high-value automation applications.

As an open Ecosystem, it enables Ericsson, Communication Service Provider (CSPs) and third-party developers to build rApps that most closely match their individual needs.

The combination of EIAP plus the Ecosystem will enable rapid development of highly automated applications. These are some examples of network automation use cases that can be produced:

Build workflow engines
Integrate with the network topology
Find your Performance Management (PM) data and KPIs
Execute Machine Learning (ML) models

The Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform has five key components

Developer Portal

Is the single-entry point for rApps developers. State-of-the-art web-based front-end which enables access to all the developer resources, intuitive, easy to navigate and continuously updated with the latest EIAP capabilities

Developer Experience

Is the centric solution for rApps creation. Includes access to the SDK and API, developers guides, tutorials and sample rApps in multiple programming languages

Developer Support

The EIAP ecosystem stimulates the developer interactions and collaborative work by means of a Community of Practice and support forums. Access to Dev-to-Dev technical support for direct developer communication and feedback channel are available

Test Resources

Provides all necessary resources required to test and validate the rApps. Possibility to order an as-a-Service test environment with EIAP and access to a variety of network data

Marketplace

Is an independent component of the EIAP ecosystem that provides a catalog for software assets in EIAP like rApps, adapters, plug-ins, enablers, models and more. The Marketplace has two versions: The Ericsson Global Marketplace hosting certified SW assets and the Local Marketplace for local and customer-owned assets
