Meta's backbone change management system handles over 1 million operations annually with minimal human intervention. The system uses a centralized scheduler to plan operations, automated orchestration to execute changes, and intent-aware scheduling to tailor controls to specific operation types. The system also includes early warning systems for proactive risk mitigation and workflow-specific health checks to reduce noise and improve reliability. This presentation will cover the challenges posed by network growth, operational complexity, and risk, and how our solutions address these challenges to ensure safe and efficient network operations.
