+‘Services’ Overview

+===================

+

+DCAE Services run on the DCAE platform. A service performs either

+monitors the virtualized network services or does analytics. A service

+is composed of one or more components, and performs a business need.

+

+Services are created in a ‘Service Design and Creation’ tool called

+‘Service Assurance Flow Designer’ by a Service Designer. This is done by

+\* 1. ‘compose’ing a service from the available SDC catalog components

+(actually from the TOSCA models representing the components), then \* 2.

+’submit’ing the service, which generates a Cloudify blueprint, is then

+automatically uploaded to INVENTORY, and then deployed by DEPLOYMENT

+HANDLER (once a DTI Event is triggered for the service). It should be

+noted that some service flows, specifally ’closed-loop’ flows, are not

+initiated by DTI, but are done by CLAMP.
