We are implementing an AIOps solution in a Telecom environment.

The idea is to use the Service defined in the topology to identify different locations or regions.

The expected volume is to define approximately 3000 services.

Is there an equivalent mechanism to the one in Resource Groups to automatically generate Services from topology data?

Is there any limitation on the number of Services defined?

We consider that there is a practical limit of 30,000 for Resource Groups. Would this limit also apply to Services?

Thank you in advance for your support.

Hi Antonio, 

Service definitions tend to be pretty heterogeneous, so it will depend on exactly what you want to consider a Service. Service model limitations can also depend on things the provenance of the data. 

There are approaches supported by the product today that may be able to help. Additionally, there are some roadmap plans to improve these sort of Service models. 

It would be great to discuss further, please reach out to me at matt.griswold@ibm.com 

Thanks!

Hi Antonio.

I think a tool you could use to segment the devices, as I understand you need, is tags. You could assign tags during the topology process or dynamically using rules, and these tags could then be used to create resource groups. Each resource group can contain up to 10,000 resources, but I understand that you can create as many resource groups as you need.

Best regards,

Sergio
