To add a new ONAP component to Heat it is necessary to complete the following three steps:
- Add the definition of a new component VM to the Heat template
- Make sure that all the component-specific configuration is in the Gerrit repository
- Prepare installation scripts that install software dependencies and docker containers
Add the definition of a new component VM to the Heat template
The Heat template contains the definition of the Operation And Management (OAM) private network that ONAP components use to communicate with each other. Each component has a fixed private IP address to the OAM network, in the 10.0.0.0/16 address family
