Abstract:
Systems and methods described herein provide unified policy management framework network functions in enterprise networks. The systems and methods store an abstract micro-service template configured from predefined configuration elements; receive descriptive information for a vendor-specific micro-service that corresponds to the abstract micro-service template; solicit first customer labels for at least some of the predefined configuration elements associated with a group of users for a micro-service on a customer network; solicit second customer labels for other of the predefined configuration elements associated with applications used on the customer network; generate a vendor-agnostic micro-service template using the first customer labels, the second customer labels, and the abstract micro-service template; convert, based on the descriptive information, the vendor-agnostic micro-service template into a vendor-specific micro-service template for the customer; and generate, based on the vendor-specific micro-service template, a network policy for enforcement across multiple sites of the customer network.
