A Framework for Automating Service and Network Management with YANG
RFC 8969

Received changes through RFC Editor sync (created alias RFC 8969, changed abstract to 'Data models provide a programmatic approach to represent services and networks. Concretely, they can be used to derive configuration information for network and service components, and state information that will be monitored and tracked. Data models can be used during the service and network management life cycle (e.g., service instantiation, service provisioning, service optimization, service monitoring, service diagnosing, and service assurance). Data models are also instrumental in the automation of network management, and they can provide closed-loop control for adaptive and deterministic service creation, delivery, and maintenance.

This document describes a framework for service and network management automation that takes advantage of YANG modeling technologies. This framework is drawn from a network operator perspective irrespective of the origin of a data model; thus, it can accommodate YANG modules that are developed outside the IETF.', changed pages to 40, changed standardization level to Informational, changed state to RFC, added RFC published event at 2021-01-22, changed IESG state to RFC Published)
