5===================

7DCAE Services run on the DCAE platform. A service performs either
8monitors the virtualized network services or does analytics. A service
9is composed of one or more components, and performs a business need.
10
11Services are created in a Service Design and Creation tool called
12Service Assurance Flow Designer by a Service Designer. This is done by
13\* 1. composeing a service from the available SDC catalog components
14(actually from the TOSCA models representing the components), then \* 2.
15submiting the service, which generates a Cloudify blueprint, is then
16automatically uploaded to INVENTORY, and then deployed by DEPLOYMENT
17HANDLER (once a DTI Event is triggered for the service). It should be
18noted that some service flows, specifally closed-loop flows, are not
19initiated by DTI, but are done by CLAMP.
