Hi Marisol,

Thanks for your question. The note is about the questions on the definition of entitlement/license in the asset YANG model.

1)It seems the following is related to the attributes of the inventory, such as whether the license is applied to hardware, or deployed in the enterprise sites, etc..Correct?
  identity offer-type-t {
    description
      "License Offer Type, part of the plan to generate revenue
       for specific asset";
  }
  identity perpetual-software {
      base offer-type-t;
      description
          "Perpetual softwar gives the user the right to use the
           program indefinitely";
  }
  identity standalone-hardware {
      base offer-type-t;
      description
          "Standalone hardware is able to function independently
           of other hardware";
  }
  identity on-premise-software-subscription {
      base offer-type-t;
      description
          "On-Premise software subscription, relates to a temporary
           on-prem licencing model, allowing users to pay a per user
           fee";
  }
  identity cloud-software-saas-subscription {
      base offer-type-t;
      description
          "Cloud Software (SaaS) subscription is a service busines
           model where the user is entitled to use the cloud software
           for a specific time period";
  }
  identity third-party-software {
      base offer-type-t;
      description
          "It includes licenses, entitlements, agreements, obligations
          or other commitment under which the user can use the asset
          not directly sold by the manufacturer";
  }
  identity flex-cloud-prem-subscription {
      base offer-type-t;
      description
          "Flex Cloud-Prem subscription allows software vendors to
          limit the number of entitlements for the use of the specific
          asset";
  }

2) :The draft says the focus is on asset-centric lifecycle management and refer it as Lifecycle Management and Operations (LMO). Could you elaborate on why an entitlement is also a class of lmo?
A entitlement is a class of lmo that represents how the asset(s) or feature(s) can be leveraged and what is required in cases the asset(s) or feature(s) are changed


Thanks,
Bo

Hi Bo,
Could you please elaborate on your note?

>From your email:
Regarding licenses (or entitlements in draft-palmero-opsawg-dmlmo-09), some licenses may affect the functions of physical components or software components, though having removed from the current model, but we feel further discussion is needed.


Please let me know how I could help to clarify or facilitate the discussion,
Many thanks,
Marisol

Dear Opsawg, inventory colleges,

Based on the review comments from Marisol and authors of draft-ietf-ccamp-network-inventory-yang, we update the network inventory draft.

Compared with the network hardware inventory in CCAMP, this model has following consideration:
1) Augment RFC 8345, so that the logical L2 or L3 or TE network topology can have mapping association with underlying physical infrastructure inventory. Therefore, a new " network-inventory" network type has been defined.
2) More device and device component types are supported, such as device software component, virtual network devices and network endpoint devices.

Regarding licenses (or entitlements in draft-palmero-opsawg-dmlmo-09), some licenses may affect the functions of physical components or software components, though having removed from the current model, but we feel further discussion is needed.

Thanks,
Bo

Abstract:
   This document defines a YANG model for network inventory management,
   which provides consistent representation and reporting of network
   nodes (including endpoints) inventory and enable a network
   orchestrator in the enterprise network to maintain a centralized view
   of all the endpoint types across multiple domains of the underlying
   network to implement a coherent control strategy.
