Abstract
In general, techniques are described for representing services, network resources, and relationships between such services and resources in a graph database with which to validate, provision, and manage the services in near real-time. In one example, a controller device includes at least one processor; and at least one memory to store a graph database comprising a graph that represents network resources and relationships between network resources. The controller device receives, at an application programming interface, a data-interchange formatted message that indicates a service request to configure a network service; queries, at least a portion of the plurality of the graph, to determine whether a set of the plurality of network resources can satisfy the service request to provision the network service within the network; and configures the set of the plurality of network resources to provide the network service.
