4.4 Management capability exposure governance

28.5333GPPArchitecture frameworkManagement and orchestrationRelease 17TS

As precondition for Management Service exposure governance offer, producer of management capability exposure governance should have access to:

An association between information about specified management service components and instances of management services.

NOTE: The detail creation of an association is left for implementation and out of scope of 3GPP standardization.

Management capability exposure governance provides exposure governance on basic elements of management function service based interface:

1) Management service component type A

2) Management service component type B

3) Management service component type C

As described in Figure 4.4.1 left hand part, when there is a Management Service A exposure without exposure governance, Management Service A Consumer (e.g. 3^rd party) can access all management capability offered by Management Service A Producer.

As described in Figure 4.4.1 right hand part, when Management Service A is exposed with applied exposure governance it becomes Management Service A’. Management Service A’ Consumer can access Management Service A’ after following steps:

– Management Service A, exposed by Management Service A Producer, is consumed by Management Service A Consumer;

– Management Service B, exposed by Management Service B Producer, is consumed by Management Service B Consumer (e.g. operator) who is authorized to access offered management capabilities exposure governance(s);

– Management Service B Consumer (e.g. operator) request a specified exposure governance on Management Service A;

– Management Service A’ Producer produces Management Service A’ based on applied exposure governance on consumed Management Service A.

NOTE: The Management Service A Consumer, the Management Service A’ Producer and Management Service B Producer can be represented as a single Management Function e.g. a single MnF).
