Abstract
Obtaining a selection of at least one network attachment model for instantiating a network service of a network, obtaining a specification of at least one parameter for the network service, generating a design based on the at least one network attachment model and the specification, and instantiating the design in conjunction with at least one resource of the network to facilitate the network service. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- identifying a requirement of a tenant, the tenant corresponding to a communication service of a communication network or system, resulting in a first identification;
- generating, based on the first identification, a configuration for the tenant;
- generating, based on the configuration, a design for the tenant;
- performing an audit against the design, resulting in an audited design;
- deploying the audited design;
- obtaining a modification to the design subsequent to the deploying;
- updating a record of the design based on the obtaining of the modification;
- and
- deploying the modification as part of a second communication service based on the updating of the record.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- identifying a requirement of a tenant, the tenant corresponding to a communication service, resulting in a first identification;
- generating, based on the first identification, a configuration for the tenant;
- generating, based on the configuration, a design for the tenant;
- performing an audit against the design, resulting in an audited design;
- deploying the audited design;
- obtaining a modification to the design subsequent to the deploying;
- updating a record of the design based on the obtaining of the modification;
- and
- deploying the modification as part of a second communication service based on the updating of the record.
A method, comprising:
- identifying, by a processing system including a processor, a requirement of a tenant, the tenant corresponding to a communication service of a communication network or system, resulting in a first identification;
- generating, by the processing system and based on the first identification, a configuration for the tenant;
- generating, by the processing system and based on the configuration, a design for the tenant;
- performing, by the processing system, an audit against the design, resulting in an audited design;
- deploying, by the processing system, the audited design;
- obtaining, by the processing system, a modification to the design subsequent to the deploying;
- updating, by the processing system, a record of the design based on the obtaining of the modification;
- and
- deploying, by the processing system, the modification as part of a second communication service based on the updating of the record.
