  text: In conventional large-scale networks, creation and management of network services
    are costly and complex tasks that often consume a lot of resources, including
    time and manpower. Network softwarization and network function virtualization
    have been introduced to tackle these problems, aiming at decreasing costs and
    complexity of implementing new services, maintaining the implemented services,
    and managing available resources in service provisioning platforms and underlying
    infrastructures. To experience the full potential of these approaches, innovative
    development support tools and service provisioning environments are needed. To
    answer these needs, we introduce the architecture of the open-source SONATA system,
    a service programming, orchestration, and management framework. We present a development
    toolchain for virtualized network services, fully integrated with a service platform
    and orchestration system. We introduce the modular and flexible architecture of
    our system and discuss its main components and features, such as function- and
    service-specific managers that allow fine-grained service management, slicing
    support to facilitate multi-tenancy, recursiveness for improved scalability, and
    full-featured DevOps support.
