This file enables to provide information for each external flow for the DCAE example:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| name | name of the ONAP project e.g. DCAE. |
| sub_components: - name: | real name of the sub component e.g. dcae-snmptrap-collector |
| external_server_side: | in external server side list only ingress (external -> ONAP) traffic |
| type: | nodePort |
| To_Be_Specified_communication: | This can be:
|
| |
| description | e.g. SNMP trap |
| id | e.g. DCAE_EXT_1. |
| communication_initiator | which component initiates the communication. e.g. any component sending SNMP either internally to ONAP platform or externally e.g. xNF. |
| communication_receipt | which component is the dest of the communication. |
| protocol | at least level 4 or higher, to be specified if applicable. |
| version | to be specified if applicable |
| exposed_pod_port | to be specified if applicable |
| exposed_port | to be specified if applicable |
| encryption | none or active e.g. HTTPS implemented. |
| data_exchanged | specifies the file format, the main exchanged information. e.g. SNMP trap information. |
| tls_server | to specify whether the component hosts a TLS sever or a TLS client (yes or no), if applicable. |
| tls_client | to specify whether the component hosts a TLS sever or a TLS client (yes or no), if applicable. |
| flow_direction | incoming our outcoming. |
==> This file has to be generated for each category: external, inter-components and intra-component flows.
AND WITH a flow matrix?
The YAML files will enable to dress a map of the different flows .
...
and then ports to be open and authorized for the running of the ONAP platform.
==> this enables a reliable and an efficient implementation of the access control.
A common repository is proposed, in order to have a central and common storage of the different files.
