Despite the availability of numerous YANG data models, operators continue to face significant challenges in operationalizing these APIs in a consistent, scalable, and interoperable manner. Based on a typical use case, this document describes the problem space associated with operationalizing YANG- based service APIs, drawing on operator experience, IAB workshop findings to motivate requirements for improving API predictability and operational effectiveness through the upcoming ONSEN WG. In addition, it intends to gather operational needs and motivations for network and service abstractions to inform YANG data model refresh work.}, }
