Title	Synthetic Observability Data Generation using GANs
Description	Observability data can be any of the following: Telco-Cloud Infrastructure Metrics (servers) H/W Level OS Level Virtualization Level Metrics/Statistics from Physical Network Elements. Application (virtualized Network functions) Metrics System logs (Servers, Applications, etc.) Metrics/Statistics from centralized orchestration systems (VIM, SDN-Controller, VNFM, NFVO, etc.) Metrics/Statistics from other control-plane services Availability of these data for AI/ML researchers, who are not part of the Telco, is very difficult. To solve this availability issue, one approach is to generate synthetic observability data. In this project, we propose to generate this synthetic observability data using GANs. For this first round only Telco-Cloud Infrastructure Metrics will be considered.
