Abstract:
Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing intent-based service configuration, conformance, and auditing. In various embodiments, a computing system might receive a request for network services from a customer, the request for network services comprising desired characteristics and performance parameters for the requested network services, without information regarding specific hardware, hardware type, or network for providing the requested services. The computing system might analyze first metadata regarding resource attributes and characteristics of unassigned network resources to identify network resources among unassigned network resources for providing the requested network services, the first metadata having been striped to entries of the unassigned network resources in resource database(s). Based on the analysis, the computing system might allocate identified network resource(s) for providing the requested network services, and updating a service database by adding or updating an entry in the service database with information indicating that the identified network resource(s) have been allocated.
