Device Configuration |
With Device Configuration, you can define reusable configuration templates covering physical configurations such as ports and services, and logical configurations such as QoS. These templates can be deployed to the network with fixed or flexible attributes. |

Operations |
An operation is a series of executions, organized in phases, which are performed on a scope of NEs. You can use an operation to perform executions on large numbers of NEs concurrently; for example, upgrading all SR NEs in a network to the latest SR OS release. |

Service Management |
Service Management allows for service provisioning and activation across networks accessible to the NSP. Through the application itself, or through the northbound interface (RESTCONF), Service Fulfillment enables users to make service requests that deploy services to the network using the NSP’s mediation framework. A library exists with a predefined set of service models for both classic and model-mode SR OS networks. These service models can be installed and utilized by NSP to provide assurance that service configuration is as planned/requested, and also provides adaptability for custom service model requests. |

Resource Management |
Resource Management manages resource pools and monitors pool usage. It maintains a list of available resource pools in a network, and allows the user to create and modify pools. Resource Management provides a quick way to assign IP addresses, numbers, or text strings to ports when you are setting up automated processes. |
