1. The data model must provide a representation of the cloud resources identified in the VNF Descriptor model.
2. The data model must provide a representation of the information that the Service Orchestrator sends towards the cloud.
3. The data model must represent the information needed for the ONAP Optimization Framework.
4. The data model must enable mapping of relevant data of the specific cloud resources created by ONAP into the A&AI inventory.
5. The data model must facilitate the consumption of cloud-specific telemetry.
6. The data model must support distributed edge cloud DCs.

Scope

1. The initial scope is for virtual machine based workloads, but work on containers must also start.
2. OpenStack private and public clouds, and Azure as a public cloud are the minimum that the initial model must handle.
3. It is assumed, for the initial model, that VNFs use only the set of similar cloud resources listed here.

...

1. The data model should be illustrated by examples, that tend to show that model expresses what it needs to.
   1. For example, demonstrate the mappings from the data needed by the APIs to the cloud infrastructure data model.
2. Align with ETSI NFV IFA 015 as much as is reasonable. Originality in data modeling is not a virtue.
3. Creating and maintaining modeled data is expensive. Only what is necessary should be modeled.
