+‘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.
