A method, computer program product, and computer system for network topology optimization. A graph convolutional network (GCN) model is trained using training network topology datasets as input. Each training network topology dataset includes: (i) a specified network topology and an associated optimal network topology and an optimality function value for the optimal network topology, (ii) relative weights of optimality parameters including performance, availability, and scalability, and (iii) an identification of an optimality function of the optimality parameters weighted by the relative weights. The specified network topology includes components, relationships between the components, and metadata pertaining to the components. Each output node in an output layer of the GCN model includes an optimality function value for a different candidate network topology. One of the output nodes identifies an optimum network topology relative to the specified network topology as being the candidate network topology having a highest optimality function value.
