https://github.com/FRINXio/resource-manager Based on our collaboration with the TIP Open Automation Solutions Group ( https://telecominfraproject.com/open-automation/ ) FRINX has created Resource Manager, a resource manager service. The purpose of the resource manager service is to allocate and deallocate network consumables like IP addresses, VLAN ids, Route Distinguishers, Route Targets or any other resource. In addition to the allocation strategies that come out-of-the-box, users can modify strategies and add their own. Allocation strategies can be changed at runtime with the help of WebAssembly containers running JS and Python user code. The resource manager service provides a GraphQL API for developers and a web user interface for operators.

Resource Manager can be consumed as a cloud service or as part of our FRINX Machine on-premi
