Thanks for issuing this last call, Rob. I think this document is a useful scene-setting for people trying to understand how to put together an automation tool for network and service management. I've been shepherding this draft and watching the updates done by the authors after AD review. I've read the current version and think it is ready for publication as an Informational RFC.

Please send substantive comments to the last-call@xxxxxxxx mailing lists by 2020-10-08. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@xxxxxxxx instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Data models provide a programmatic approach to represent services and networks. Concretely, they can be used to derive configuration information for network and service components, and state information that will be monitored and tracked. Data models can be used during the service and network management life cycle, such as service instantiation, provisioning, optimization, monitoring, diagnostic, and assurance. Data models are also instrumental in the automation of network management, and they can provide closed-loop control for adaptive and deterministic service creation, delivery, and maintenance. This document describes an architecture for service and network management automation that takes advantage of YANG modeling technologies. This architecture is drawn from a network operator perspective irrespective of the origin of a data module; it can thus accommodate modules that are developed outside the IETF.
