  This report provides an understanding of how the UNIFY Service Provider
(SP)-DevOps concept can be applied and integrated with a combined cloud and
transport network NFV architecture. Specifically, the report contains technical
descriptions of a set of novel SP-DevOps tools and support functions that
facilitate observability, troubleshooting, verification, and VNF development
processes. The tools and support functions are described in detail together
with their architectural mapping, giving a wider understanding of the SP-DevOps
concept as a whole, and how SP-DevOps tools can be used for supporting
orchestration and programmability in the UNIFY NFV framework. The concept is
further exemplified in a case study for deployment and scaling of an Elastic
Firewall.
