Within the LSO Framework, LSO Legato APIs address the internal intra-domain operational interactions between the business applications (BSS) layer and the underlying service orchestration (OSS) layer for MEF-standardized services, for functionalities such as performance monitoring and fault management. It is these LSO Legato APIs that take a business-level operation, such as ordering a service, and communicates that requirement to the service orchestration layer, to instantiate that service within a provider’s domain.
LSO Legato APIs cover the following functionalities: Service provisioning and control; service function testing; service inventory; service performance monitoring; service fault management.
The related LSO Legato SDK and standards can be used with a range of MEF-standardized services.
See MEF’s Technical Standards & Educational Materials for LSO Legato
Standard LSO Legato APIs remove the need for each application from having to interface through different vendor-proprietary service orchestration APIs, which in turn enhances service providers’ ability to adopt best-in-breed vendor solutions.
Common information models ease internal development of microservices by eliminating mapping between proprietary models.
