Overview
The Service Decomposition microservice provides a way for clients to effectively mine an A&AI datasource by simply providing a ServiceInstanceID. The microservice utilizes a number of A&AI API operations in order to obtain a complete list of resources that comprise the service.
Use in POMBA
The initial use case for Service Decomposition is to provide support for the Network Discovery Context Builder introduced in the POMBA project. When the Network Discovery Context Builder is tasked with fetching service details from the network, the first step in doing so is to query this microservice in order to obtain a list of resources – e.g. vservers, l3-networks – that need to be queried within the network in order to build a complete picture of the service.
