CAMINO: Cloud-native Autonomous Management and Intent-based Orchestrator

Abstract: This paper introduces CAMINO, a Cloud-native Autonomous Management and Intent-based Orchestrator designed to address the challenges of scalable, declarative, and cloud-native service management and orchestration. CAMINO leverages a modular architecture, the Configuration-as-Data (CaD) paradigm, and real-time resource monitoring to facilitate zero-touch provisioning across multi-edge infrastructure. By incorporating intent-driven orchestration and observability capabilities, CAMINO enables automated lifecycle management of network functions, ensuring optimized resource utilisation. The proposed solution abstracts complex configurations into high-level intents, offering a scalable approach to orchestrating services in distributed cloud-native infrastructures. This paper details CAMINO's system architecture, implementation, and key benefits, highlighting its effectiveness in cloud-native telecommunications environments.
