AI summary

Creation and deployment of services can include receiving a service request that identifies intended functionality of the service; accessing a service catalog that defines service components including microservices and metadata that defines purposes of the service components; recommending, based on the intended functionality and the metadata, a service design for the service including a first service component and a second service component; configuring the service components to define outputs and inputs for the first service component and the second service component; identifying, for the service components, infrastructure that is to support the service components and a geographic location of the infrastructure; configuring, for the service components, security policies including one of a firewall, a filter list, or an authentication requirement; preparing the service components for deployment to the infrastructure; and triggering deployment of the service components to the infrastructure to deploy the service.
