The AAI graphical user interface is a way for a user to get information about what is in Active and Available Inventory (AAI).
This UI is deployed in two parts known as "sparky-be" and "sparky-fe", which are the "back end" and "front end" components, respectively.
There are 2 views currently available.
View & Inspect provides a graph based view of elements within AAI. A single entity is the entry point into each graph, and from that base element a graph is generated based off relationships. See also https://onap.readthedocs.io/en/beijing/submodules/aai/sparky-be.git/docs/view_inspect.html

VNFs based off of provisioning status and orchestration status.
