Let’s walk through a use case scenario where this framework is utilized.
1. Consumer logs on to a cloud portal and verifies/updates credentials and information.
2. Based on the consumer entitlement, a selected a set of services are identified and presented for definition.
3. The end user selects the service for consumptions and triggers a service-provisioning request.
4. Resources are marked as reserved for service, and a new request is created for services provisioning.
5. The individual domains of compute, network, and storage are configured and provisioned, with requested
security and service-level agreements (SLAs), for service delivery.
Hence, this framework provides a working structure to create, define, orchestrate, and delivery IT service via a cloud.
Cisco provides not only this framework, but also key solutions to deliver cloud services.
