Dark fiber dense wavelength division multiplexing service path design for microservices for 5G or other next generation network

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
• receiving, via a network, first orchestration flow data representative of a first service flow of a service;
• applying topology template data, representative of a topology of a service path associated with the service, to the first orchestration flow data, wherein the topology template data comprises device template data representative of a node device associated with the topology, and wherein the device template data comprises transceiver data representative of a transceiver enabled for use by network equipment;
• in response to the applying of the topology template data to the first orchestration flow data and based on the device template data, generating second orchestration flow data representative of a second service flow of the service;
• and
• in response to receiving the first orchestration flow data and generating the second orchestration flow data, receiving a request to instantiate a service template associated with the second service flow.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• receiving first orchestration flow data representative of a first service flow;
• applying a topology template, associated with a second service flow, to the first service flow, wherein the topology template comprises device template data representative of a node, and wherein the device template data comprises transceiver data representative of a transceiver connected to the node;
• in response to the applying of the topology template to the first service flow and based on the transceiver data, generating second orchestration flow data representative of the second service flow;
• and
• after receiving the first orchestration flow data and generating the second orchestration flow data, receiving a request to instantiate a service template associated with the second service flow.
