A look into LSO APIs Konsus - See previous comment re: bumper slides

Cloud Service Provider Business Applications LSO APIs Enable End-to-End Service Orchestration Across Networks & Over Technology Domains Mobile Commercial Self-service Web Portal Data Center Cloud Service Provider Internet Cloud Retail Service Provider Wholesale Operator Residential Technology Domain APIs FRAMEWORK Service Orchestration Inter-Carrier APIs Customer Facing APIs Allegro Cantata interlude Sonata Business Applications Legato Presto LSO Cantata LSO Sonata LSO Allegro LSO Interlude LSO Legato LSO Legato LSO Presto LSO Presto LSO Adagio LSO Adagio MEF’s LSO Reference Architecture guides agile development of standardized open LSO APIs that enable end-to-end orchestration of MEF 3.0 services across multiple providers and over multiple network technology domains (e.g., Packet WAN, Optical Transport, SD-WAN, 5G, etc.). LSO enables service providers to transition from a silo-structured BSS/OSS approach towards flexible end-to-end orchestration that helps maximize return on SDN and NFV investments. It’s important to note is that this LSO-related automation has applicability for wireline, wireless, and cloud players and for enterprise and consumer applications.

Lifecycle Service Orchestration & APIs Based on MEF 55: LSO Framework Specification Released as SDKs Available in experimental or published states 3-6 month sprint cycles MEF has adopted an agile model, with 6 month sprint cycles, for creating suites of standardized LSO APIs defined in MEF Interface Profile Specifications. This model includes Software Development Kits (SDKs) that allow MEF members and our partners to experiment with open APIs for automating the service lifecycle and eventually commercializing products that align with the MEF IPSs that will be published. Our objective is to accelerate adoption of the IPSs when they are available.
