Which term defines the management point between business applications and service orchestration functionality needed to allow management and operations supporting LSO services?

• A. Cantata
• B. Legato
• C. Presto
• D. SWVC End Point Map

Answer: (B)

In MEF LSO environments, the function that sits between business applications and the service orchestration layer—handling governance, lifecycle management, policy, and operational support for LSO services—is Legato. This management plane translates business intents and service requirements from applications into actionable orchestration tasks, while also collecting status, telemetry, and policy compliance data back to the business side. That bridging role is what Legato is defined to do within the LSO reference architecture, making it the appropriate term for the management point that enables coordinated management and operations across services.

Cantata and Presto are not defined in the MEF LSO framework as the bridging management plane between business apps and orchestration, and SWVC End Point Map is a technical artifact rather than the overarching management interface.
