All infrastructure capability types inherit from the basic The Data Model reflects the IM's The ComputeDesc and MemoryDesc elements as the TOSCA capability type onap.capabilities.Compute.Infrastructure:

Code Block

title	Basic infrastructure capability type
linenumbers	true

capability_types:
  onap.capabilities.InfrastractureCompute:
    derived_from: tosca.capabilities.RootContainer
    description: a basic description of infrastructurethe required hardware resources
    properties:

        description: vendor+architecture, for example, Intel64num_cpus:
        type: stringinteger
        required: false
         
      custom_features:
        descriptionconstraints:
|           Additional features description, serialized in a well-known format.
        type: string
        required: false

Since all HPA-oriented capability types are derived from this basic type, they will all inherit its properties:

architecture - allows the VFC vendors to focus their requirements on a specific hardware architecture, for example "Intel x86".
custom_features - an opaque container for a list of feature definitions. Any text, the only limitation is that it should not break the YAML/TOSCA formatting. The contents of this property is actually not part of the TOSCA model!

Based on this generic onap,capabilities.Infrastructure capability type, the Data Model introduces a family of types that provide TOSCA support for the Informational Model elements.

In addtition to the obvious properties required by the IM, this capability type also includes properties that allow for easy customization:

architecture - allows the VFC vendors to focus their requirements on a specific hardware architecture, for example "Intel x86".
custom_features - an opaque container for a list of feature definitions. Any text, the only limitation is that it should not break the YAML/TOSCA formatting. The contents of this property is actually not part of the TOSCA model!

In spite the changes made in the capability type defininitions, the definition of the node type onap.nodes.Container does not change:

Code Block

node_types:
  # the very base of the hierarchy of VDU types
  onap.nodes.Container:

Examples of requirement assignments in their simplest form:

Code Block

title	Requirement for at least 2 vCPUs
linenumbers	true
collapse	true

# .. a node template, omitted...
requirements:
  - cpuhost:
      node_filter:
        capabilities: onap.capabilities.infrastructure.CPUCompute
        properties:
          num_cpus:
            - greater_or_equal: 2

Examples of requirement assignments in the combined (TOSCA properties + custom_features) form:

Code Block

title	Requirement for at least 2 vCPUs + bunch of Intel-specific features
linenumbers	true
collapse	true

# .. a node template, omitted...
requirements:
  - cpuhost:
      node_filter:
        capabilities: onap.capabilities.infrastructure.CPUCompute
        properties:
          num_cpus:
            - greater_or_equal: 2
   
      architecture:             - equal: IntelXYZ
          custom_features: |
            {
              "simultaneousMultiThreading": true,
              "simultaneousThreads": 10,
              "logicalCpuPinningPolicy": "Dedicated",
              "logicalCpuThreadPinningPolicy": "Prefer",
              "instructionSetExtensions": ["aes", "sse", "ddio"],
              "directIoAccessToCache": "dca",
              "accelerator": "whatever you like",
              "measuredLaunchEnvironment": "",
              "secureEnclave": "",
              "hypervisorConfiguration": {
                "memoryCompaction": "best",
                "kernelSamePageMerging": true
              },
              "computeRas": "pciDetectedAndCorrectedErrors"
            }

In the example above the text in the custom_featurefeatures property is actually a JSON document.
