Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) Release 3 – Management and Orchestration – Report on Os-Ma-Nfvo reference point – application and service management use cases and recommendations

Abstract

This work item will entail work to specify the use cases and the corresponding recommendations that will guide the evolution of the Os-Ma-nfvo reference point regarding applications/services on top of Network Services (NS). It will have close connections with the Work Items DGS/NFV-IFA010 for data modeling requirements and DGS/NFV-IFA013 regarding the OSS-Orchestrator interface handling of the NS. The impact on the NS shall be explored in the context of higher level application/service management where the higher level application/service is dependent on one or more NS(s). Specifically, the following items will be addressed: o E2E view o Assurance o Order management and Fulfillment o Inventory management o Policy management o Life cycle management of Services (applications/services on top of NS) o Flexible/dynamic service orchestration including creation and modification (e. g. orchestration, launching of a service and adaptation of running services) o Real-time capabilities o Automation (recovery, healing, etc.) o Monitoring/Tracing o Testing o Advanced data analytics/Big data including usage of several data sources o Interoperability The deliverable will be informative. © Copyright 2022, ETSI
