Brief Project Overview (brief as it should be known)
The ONAP Policy Framework is a comprehensive policy design, deployment, and execution environment. The Policy Framework is the decision making component in an ONAP system. It allows you to specify, deploy, and execute the governance of the features and functions in your ONAP system, be they closed loop, orchestration, or more traditional open loop use case implementations. The Policy Framework is the component that is the source of truth for all policy decisions.
New component capabilities for Dublin, i.e. the functional enhancements.
Dublin is the start for the Policy Framework team to re-build the infrastructure in order to better support multiple PDP engines
New or modified interfaces
Policy Lifecycle API
If they are modified, are the backwards compatible?
No - the design prohibits that and isn't feasible. The current API is still available for applications that still use it.
Interface naming (point to an example)
...
Involved use cases, architectural capabilities or functional requirements.
vFW, Scale Out, vCPE, CCVPN and BBS are targeted for support.
Listing of new or impacted models used by the project (for information only).
New Policy Type models for Control Loops is being built for Dublin. These are simply ports from existing non-TOSCA compliant models towards TOSCA compliance and a step towards integration with SDC design time.
Will be working with the Modeling Sub Committee to hand over the models for integration with other ONAP Models.
