Requests management design

This page explains the design of the network service and slice lifecycle management requests.

Context

In 5GTANGO, requests are implemented asynchronously, given that answering these requests is also an asynchronous process: e.g., allocating all the resources needed to instantiate a service.

At the moment of writing, we support the following kinds of requests:

• Instantiate a service:
• Terminate a service instance:
• Instantiate a network slice:
• Terminate a network slice instance:

These operations are further explained in the following sub-sections. All of them need an authenticated user (see Users management usage).
