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 including:
    • 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
