DRAFT PROPOSAL FOR COMMENTS
...
- This project will deliver a unified set of VNF Guidelines and VNF Requirements.
- The VNF Guidelines and VNF Requirements must be versioned to enable evolution based on operational experience
- The VNF Guidelines and VNF Requirements will support the ONAP Architecture Principles.
- Update the VNF Requirements as prototype RFP text for the ONAP/Beijing release
- Update the VNF Guidelines as for the ONAP/Beijing release
- Identify a list of features and functionality will be developed.
- The VNF Guidelines and Requirements will support the Release 1 Use Cases.
- Use cases focused on VNF Requirements may be developed in this project, and they will need to be aligned with the ETE Platform use cases.
- Document the VNF Provider Guidelines for VNF Scaleout Use Case for the ONAP/Beijing release
- VNF Guidelines and Requirements are to be refined beyond prototype text (e.g. through EPIC statements, use cases) to deliver test cases and test procedures for us in VNF onboarding & validation. VNF Requirement level use cases to be aligned with ETE platform use cases
- Document the VNF Test Case Descriptions for VNF Package testing for the ONAP/Beijing release
- Identify what is in or out of scope. During the development phase, it helps reduce discussion.
- VNF Guidelines may be forward looking, or include best practices in VNF design and VNF lifecycle processes.
- VNF Requirements from ONAP APIs should be linked to the ONAP Release
- VNF Requirements may include:
- expected operational characteristics ( e.g. security, resilience, upgradeability)
- conditional requirements (e.g. When configured for deployment on High Availability Network Cloud Infrastructure, the VNF Shall …)
- Tool chain improvements
- Develop requirements structure/ metadata to support better linkage / tracking with other ONAP projects
- Develop templates for VNFs to demonstrate VNF Requirements conformance

Architecture
High level architecture diagram
The VNF Requirements Project is not delivering ONAP platform code, rather it delivers documentation targeted to VNF providers to enable thme to develop VNFS which can be more easily onboarded and operated by an Operator using an ONAP platform.
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.

The VNF Requirments does not produce code interfaciong with platform APIs. The VNF Requirments do consoliate requirements from ONAP platform compontents that impact the design and development of VNFs. These ONAP platform components in the table below generate APIs that impact VNFs and so these are generally reflected in the VNF Requirements.
