Tracking area code (tac) audit and search in a 5g cloud-based communication network

A system for performing an audit of tracking area codes (TAC) in a cloud-based communication network, where the communication network has a plurality of regions and a plurality of availability zones within each region, the system comprising:

• a memory that stores one or more computer readable media that include instructions;
• and
• one or more processor devices that execute the instructions of the computer readable media to perform a process comprising:
• collecting a list of TACs from each element in a plurality of predetermined elements of the communication network;
• storing the collected list of TACs for each predetermined element in a storage device;
• for each region and availability zone of the communication network, comparing the lists of TACs for elements for which the lists of TACs should match;
• identifying errors based on the comparison of the lists of TACs;
• storing the results of the comparison including any identified errors in the storage device;
• and
• generating a report comprising at least the results of the comparison and the list of TACs collected for each predetermined element.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more electronic processors, perform a set of functions, the set of functions comprising:

• collecting, using a TAC audit module, a list of TACs from each element in a plurality of predetermined elements of a communication network having a plurality of regions and a plurality of availability zones within each region;
• storing, using the TAC audit module, the collected list of TACs for each predetermined element in a storage device;
• for each region and availability zone of the communication network, comparing, using the TAC audit module, the lists of TACs for elements for which the lists of TACs should match;
• identifying, using the TAC audit module, errors based on the comparison of the lists of TACs;
• storing, using the TAC audit module, the results of the comparison including any identified errors in the storage device;
• and
• generating, using the TAC audit module, a report comprising at least the results of the comparison and the list of TACs collected for each predetermined element.
