The Policy Creation subsystem provides the ability to create easily-updateable conditional rules, so that policies and resulting behaviors can be quickly changed as needed. Policies are used to control, to influence, and to help ensure compliance with goals. “A policy” can be defined at a high level to create a condition, requirement, constraint, or need that must be provided, maintained, and enforced. A policy can also be defined at a lower or functional level, such as a machine-readable rule or software condition/assertion which enables actions to be taken based on a trigger or request, specific to particular selected conditions in effect at that time. Software policies that are supported include XACML policies, Drool policies, and lower level that are embodied in model such as YANG and TOSCA.
