Integration enablement

Integration enablement aligns with the increasing focus of implementing modular OSS applications exposed via Open APIs, and the need to support dynamic exposure of network-as-a-service constructs towards enterprise or ecosystem partners. Collectively, this is enabled by Amazon API Gateway, which simplifies the development and deployment lifecycle of both internal and external APIs.

The integration framework is enhanced by using AWS Step Functions, which enables a coordinated state-machine implementation, and Amazon EventBridge (EventBridge), which enables event-driven integration with other BSS/external applications as part of the OSS value-chain transaction. To enable a consistent, common, consumption layer, network operation or product/business teams can extract business insights via Amazon QuickSight (QuickSight), Amazon Athena and Amazon OpenSearch Service. Amazon S3 can be leveraged as common object storage across all OSS applications that can handle different network data formats, and serve as a foundation of a shared data unification layer.
