Introduction

Juniper® Paragon Automation is a cloud-ready solution for network planning, configuration, provisioning, traffic engineering, monitoring, and life-cycle management that brings advanced visualization capabilities and analytics to network management and monitoring. You can deploy Paragon Automation as an on-premises (customer-managed) application.

Paragon Automation operates on a microservices-based architecture and employs REST APIs, gRPC APIs, and common messaging bus communications. Paragon Automation provides base platform capabilities such as support for Juniper Networks and third-party (Cisco IOS XR, Nokia) devices, zero-touch provisioning, user management, and role-based access control (RBAC). In addition to providing base platform capabilities, Paragon Automation offers a suite of microservices-based applications—Juniper® Paragon Insights (formerly HealthBot), Juniper® Paragon Planner (formerly NorthStar Planner), and Juniper® Paragon Pathfinder (formerly NorthStar Controller). When you add any of these applications to Paragon Automation, the API suite of the application integrates with Paragon Automation to allow seamless communication between new and existing services.

In these release notes, we outline the new features of the base platform, Paragon Pathfinder, Paragon Planner (Desktop Application), and Paragon Insights modules that are available in this release. For more information about features related to these applications, see Paragon Automation User Guide.
