ONAP Scale Out Work Flow

ONAP Scale Out Homing and License Flow

APPC

• APP-C shall support new playbooks, cookbooks, NETCONF templates for ConfigScaleOut . After the ConfigScaleOut is completed the new VMs will be In-Service

Support the existing general VNF HealthCheck

SDC

• SDC shall support accepting an Onboarding package from the VNF Provider. The On-boarding package will specify:
  • VNFs with one or more incremental modules which:
    • Defines additional resources that can be added to an existing VNF
    • Must be complete Heat templates
    • Should define logical growth-units or sub-components of an overall VNF
    • On creation, receives appropriate Base Module outputs as parameters
      • Provides access to all shared resources (by UUID)
      • Must not be dependent on other Add-On VNF Modules
    • Multiple instances of an incremental Module may be added to the same VNF (e.g. incrementally grow a VNF by a fixed “add-on” growth units)
  • Each VNF Module (base or incremental) may have (optional) and associated Cinder Volume Module
    • Volume modules must correspond 1:1 with a base module or incremental module
    • A Cinder volume may be embedded within the base module or incremental module if persistence is not required
  • Shared resource UUIDs are passed between the base module and incremental modules via Heat Outputs Parameters (i.e., Base Module Output Parameters)
    • The output parameter name in the base must match the parameter name in the add-on module
• SDC will support a TOSCA Service Model view at the VNFC (VF_Module) level. This view must be made available to the VID users
• SDC will validate the initial_count for the VF Modules is equal to or greater than the min_vf_module_instances

OOF*

• OOF will process Homing and license placement request from MSO.
• OOF will support additional Policies for Scale Out to check the following:
  • If there is enough capacity in the region or close to the region
  • For the VNF Instance, is the license sufficient to satisfy the configuration requested

*This work is to be done in Beijing Release, but it may not be used until a future release since SO may not have the time to develop the request to OOF.
