The fundamental building block of the Service Based Management Architecture (SBMA) is the Management Service (MnS). A MnS is a set of offered capabilities for management and orchestration of network and services. The entity producing an MnS is called MnS producer. The entity consuming an MnS is called MnS consumer. An MnS provided by an MnS producer can be consumed by any entity with appropriate authorisation and authentication.

An MnS producer offers its services via a standardized service interface composed of individually specified MnS components.
