This capability provides the ability to model and orchestrate services which are composed of other services, recursively.
Most use cases require the modeling and deployment of services which are composed of other services. Today the only way to implement this is with the allotted resource configuration.
It will be common for the SO to be required to connect new service instances to existing instances of dependencies.
When necessary, the SO should recursively instantiate the entire service tree, creating dependencies first.
Project | Impact |
|---|---|
SDC | Support modeling of aggregate services by dragging and connecting existing services to VNFs or other services. |
SO | Deploy service hierarchies recursively, deploying dependencies first. |
HOLMES | Correlate the telemetry of services in a hierarchy to correctly determine the root cause. E.g. If services A, B and C depend on X, the failure of X should not result in Policy receiving failure events from A, B & C. |
A&AI | Support visualization and navigation up and down service hierarchies. |
