API specifications
API conventions
ETSI GS NFV-SOL 015 (draft) defines patterns and conventions for RESTful NFV-MANO API specifications, gives recommendations on API versioning and provides an API specification template. This GS defines provisions to be followed by the ETSI NFV Industry Specification Group (ISG) when creating RESTful NFV-MANO API specifications. The provisions do not apply to implementations.
