Scenarios¶
Real-life, end-to-end workflows - each one a complete story with the personas, the platform behaviour, and final playbooks you can lift into your own automation. If the module reference tells you what each module does, these pages tell you what to build with them. (They are also the few-shot patterns an AI assistant should read before generating NetOrca playbooks.)
The scenarios come from a real deployment: F5 DevCentral's bigip-automation walks the maturity levels of network automation - from imperative scripts (level 1) through per-app Git repos and CI/CD (levels 4-5) to level 6: full lifecycle self-service with NetOrca as the orchestration layer between consumer teams and the BIG-IP team. These pages are level 6, operated with this collection.
| Scenario | Persona | You will use | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Load balancer as a service - validate, deploy, report; the two scheduled playbooks that run a service | service owner | netorca_change_instance_info, netorca_change_instance, netorca_service_item_info |
available |
| Requesting services from Git - declare in your repo, track your merge to completion | consumer | netorca_change_instance_info, netorca_service_item_info |
available |
| Publishing a service - definition submission, docs, service config | service owner | netorca_service_submission, netorca_service_docs, netorca_service_config |
planned - lands with the consumer-flow and config modules |
| Eventing and health - webhooks on change activity, scheduled healthchecks | service owner | webhook and healthcheck modules | planned - lands with the webhook/healthcheck modules |
| Billing run - unprocessed charges, reporting, marking processed | service owner | netorca_charge_info, netorca_charge |
planned - lands with the charge modules |
| AI-operated service with Pack - AI renders the config, your executor deploys it, feedback retriggers | service owner | netorca_pack_pipeline_info, netorca_pack_data, netorca_pack_trigger, netorca_ai_processor, netorca_pack_profile |
available |
The mechanics the scenarios lean on are documented once, in the guides: filtering and pagination, check mode and idempotency (including the change lifecycle state machine), and error handling.
