Overview of Network Service Orchestration

Network Service Orchestrator (NSO) is a robust automation tool designed to streamline network management through declarative modeling of configurations. It allows users to define what they want the network to do, rather than specifying how to achieve those changes. This retracts complexity, as each network service can be directly mapped to the necessary device configurations, devoid of manual CLI commands. An example highlighted is VLAN management, where NSO automates the addition of VLANs across devices by utilizing YANG models, capturing the current states, and calculating necessary changes.
