Indeed, data models can be used during various phases of the service and network management life cycle, such as service instantiation, service provisioning, optimization, monitoring, diagnostic, and assurance. Also, data models are instrumental in the automation of network management. They also provide closed-loop control for the sake of adaptive and deterministic service creation, delivery, and maintenance. This document describes an architecture for service and network management automation that takes advantage of YANG modeling technologies. This architecture is drawn from a network provider perspective irrespective of the origin of a data module; it can thus accommodate even modules that are developed outside the IETF. The document aims in particular to exemplify an approach that specifies the journey from technology-agnostic services to technology-specific actions.}, }
