Overview

Scope

What is this release trying to address?

DCAE Dublin release has following primary objectives:

Adding new mS suite of collectors /event processors/analytics for supporting use cases identified by ONAP and integration. 

Following new services are targeted for R4 additions.

Collectors

• RESTConf collector

Event Processors

• VES/Universal Mapper
• PM-Mapper

Analytics/RCA

• SON-Handler (former PCI-Handler) 
• Heartbeat (STRETCH GOAL)
• TCA-Gen2  (STRETCH GOAL)

Common SDK design for DCAE services

• Dmaap pub/sub
• Configbindingservice
• A&AI client (STRETCH GOAL)
• Cert-based TLS (STRETCH GOAL)

Enhancement to existing DCAE components

• VES Collector (security)
• HV_VES (logging)
• PRH (common sdk + BBS)
• DataFileCollector (security enhancement + resiliency support)

DCAE Platform Enhancement

• Support helm chart deployment in DCAE-C using custom helm plugin
• Transitioning Cloudify blueprint to Helm for DCAE platform component (InventoryAPI, DeploymentHandler, PolicyHandler, ServicechangeHandler, CBS)
• DCAE Healthcheck enhancement
  
  

In addition the following features will be worked as STRETCH GOAL

• PNDA Platform integration with DCAE for application deployment support via helm
• Integration with DMAAP BusController for Topic provisioning
• Support for Multi-site K8S cluster deployment via K8s plugin (dependency on AAI, MultiCloud)
• Contribution of blueprint generator tool in ONAP/DCAE
   

   Note:  Work on STRETCH GOAL will progress through R4 however they cannot be committed yet for delivery (due to resource constraint /external dependencies /unclear requirement). These will be evaluated around M3 and will be either committed or deferred.

(Added - 02/18/19) - Datalake as POC was approved by TSC. DCAE support for DL project is being tracked under this link  - DataLake POC

Functionalities

List the functionalities that this release is committing to deliver by providing a link to JIRA Epics and Stories. In the JIRA Priority field, specify the priority (either High, Medium, Low). The priority will be used in case de-scoping is required. Don't assign High priority to all functionalities.

Epics

Stories

Longer term roadmap

DCAE is the collection and analytics platform serving ONAP.  The value of DCAE lies in the number of types of data being collected, the number of analytics algorithms, the number of open/close control loops, and how well/easy they are supported for ONAP uses.

Long term roadmap will include PNDA integration and facilitating application deployment via Helm.

Release Deliverables

Indicate the outcome (Executable, Source Code, Library, API description, Tool, Documentation, Release Note...) of this release.

Sub-Components

List all sub-components part of this release. Activities related to sub-components must be in sync with the overall release.

Sub-components are repositories and are consolidated in a single centralized place. Edit the Resouce and Repositories in the centralized page.

In addition to existing platform/service component, following new components are targeted for Dublin.

ONAP Dependencies

List the other ONAP projects you depend on.

DCAE depends on the the following components as part of the general ONAP architecture:

• SDC: For blueprint generation and distribution into DCAE-C
• AAI: DCAE MS retrieves and updates VNF data from/to AAI
• DMaaP: Message bus for communication with other components in the solution
• Policy - For managing application configuration policy
• CLAMP - For CL flow related MS instantiation and configuration
• OOF - For SON handler support

Architecture

High level architecture diagram

At that stage within the Release, the team is expected to provide more Architecture details describing how the functional modules are interacting.

Indicate where your project fit within the ONAP Archiecture diagram.

Block and sequence diagrams showing relation within the project as well as relation with external components are expected.

Anyone reading this section should have a good understanding of all the interacting modules.

Platform Maturity

Refering to CII Badging Security Program and Platform Maturity Requirements, fill out the table below by indicating the actual level , the targeted level for the current release and the evidences on how you plan to achieve the targeted level.

• • API Incoming Dependencies

List the API this project is expecting from other projects. Prior to Release Planning review, Team Leads must agreed on the date by which the API will be fully defined. The API Delivery date must not be later than the release API Freeze date.

Prior to the delivery date, it is a good practice to organize an API review with the API consumers.

• • API Outgoing Dependencies

API this project is delivering to other projects.

• • Third Party Products Dependencies

Third Party Products mean products that are mandatory to provide services for your components. Development of new functionality in third party product may or not be expected. List the Third Party Products (OpenStack, ODL, RabbitMQ, ElasticSearch,Crystal Reports, ...).

In case there are specific dependencies  (Centos 7 vs Ubuntu 16. Etc.) list them as well.

• • Testing and Integration Plans

Provide a description of the testing activities (unit test, functional test, automation,...) that will be performed by the team within the scope of this release.

Describe the plan to integrate and test the release deliverables within the overall ONAP system. Confirm that resources have been allocated to perform such activities.

• • • Unit Test addition will be enforced part of new code submission

• • Free and Open Source Software

FOSS activities are critical to the delivery of the whole ONAP initiative. The information may not be fully available at Release Planning, however to avoid late refactoring, it is critical to accomplish this task as early as possible. List all third party Free and Open Source Software used within the release and provide License type (BSD, MIT, Apache, GNU GPL,... ). In the case non Apache License are found inform immediately the TSC and the Release Manager and document your reasoning on why you believe we can use a non Apache version 2 license.

Each project must edit its project table available at Project FOSS.
