Today we see more and more systems support intent languages, frameworks and interfaces. The incorporation of these approaches provide elements of abstraction between the request and the execution. However mapping is still required to get from the abstract to the real. This mapping often introduces elements of rigidity into the system. This work presents a flexible approach to intent driven systems through an interpreter for intent realization. The mechanism of the interpreter is demonstrated through interactions with mock slice manager functions running on an open source, functions as a service platform. The interpreter accepts intent messages containing a request in the form of an English sentence, along with required parameters for the request. This information is then used to identify the appropriate functions available to the interpreter. These functions are described in the Functionality Template model. Once identified, the Functionality Template guides the building of an action in response to the intent message.
