I like this suggestion. Keyword 'vnf' is the closest to the unit of
things orchestrated by Tacker. Building on that we can have,

openstack vnf create - /create a single VNF based on TOSCA template/
openstack vnf service create - /create a service using a collection of VNFs/
openstack vnf graph create - /create a forwarding graph using a
collection of VNFs/

++ That is concise and easy to understand/read.

It is not an overlap per-se, it is more at a different abstraction
level. The later is a general purpose, lower-level SFC API based on
neutron ports. Former is a higher level YAML (TOSCA) template based
description of a SFC specially geared for NFV use-cases - implemented
using the lower-level networking-sfc APIs. It is analogous to Heat
OS::Nova::Server <-> Nova Compute APIs.

Understood, thanks for the clarification Sridhar!

Best,
