2.1: Control Loop TOSCA file definition
2.1.1 Control Loop Component Definition
A Control Loop Component that can be part of a control loop, it defines the components that partake in a control loop, and are implemented at run time by participants. The control loop component definition is truly dynamic and, as long as the participant that the control loop component definition relates to understands its definition, it can be anything. However, we have designed a base control loop component attribute that's generic and that can act as a good starting point.

3.2: Instantiation
Robertas Rimkus to pad out this section
This section refers to Instantiation of a Commissioned control loop. A client, in this case CLAMP (potentially DCAEMOD, etc in the future) will render the commissioned control loops allowing selection of a particular control loop to be instantiated. User will then provide the configurations needed to instantiate the selected control loop which will be sent onto the CL_Instance_Control Service. The service will then distribute the configurations to DMaaP topic. Participants (agents) will pull the event containing the config and pick out their control loop components to be instantiated and start/set up those particular components. CL_Instance_Control Service will be waiting for a response back from all participants involved in the instantiation of the control loop, in regards to the state of instantiation. In successful response case the service will store the CL Instance LCM (Life Cycle management) data into the runtime DB as well as providing a message back to the client of the successful instantiation. In failure to receive the response case, a timeout will be called, which will result in a teardown event being sent to DMaaP. The participants will then receive the event and proceed to teardown the components that were instantiated or check that they have failed to instantiate in the first place and send a Teardown ACK back to the CL_Instance_Control Service. No CL Instance LCM data will be stored and a message indicating failure to instantiate the CL along side with the error will be sent back to the client (CLAMP).

3.2.3: Instantiation DMaaP API
Initial Thought for an event to be sent from CL_Instance_Control onto DMaaP for Participants to consume. The event would go onto an output topic which the Participants would be polling/subscribed to

*Preferred solution is to send TOSCA in the body. Meaning we could reuse the parsing code which is already present and provide it to the participant.
3.2.4: Instantiation Participant API
*Suggestion was to put JAVA API code in this section for the participant talking to DMaaP. TBD
3.3: Monitoring
In this case it refers to monitoring the data that the participants will provide to DMaaP. Participants will send events to DMaaP which will be pulled by the CL_Supervision_Service in to the runtime database. Monitoring service provides APIs to display the statistics data from runtime database to the Monitoring GUI. The data provided should include a reference id to the control loops that are instantiated on the participant, as well as the applications that have been instantiated as a part of that control loop for that participant. Data should also include the time that the application has started, state of it (running/terminated) and any other critical information which would help to determine the health of an instantiated control loop and its components. Idea is for the participant to provide events every certain period of time, similar to a health-check, in order to provide consistent monitoring.

3.4: Supervision
Supervision is responsible for ensuring that
- control loops are established once their initiation has been ordered
- control loops are running correctly once their initiation is completed
- control loops are correctly removed once their removal has been ordered

4.1: Server Side
4.1.1 Database Schema and JPA
4.1.2: TOSCA Processing
4.1.3: Instance Control
4.1.4: Execution Monitoring
4.2: Participant Side
Participant is a component that acts as a bridge between Runtime and components like Policy-framework, DCAE, Kubernetes cluster etc.
It listens to Dmaap to receive messages from runtime and performs operations towards control loop components.
Every participant has two parts Participant-Intermediary and a Participant-Impl.
Participant-Intermediary is a common component that listens to Dmaap and acts on the messages, participant-impl handles the logic towards
control loop element.
4.2.1: Participant Message handling
Participant handles 4 types of messages
...
As a response to any of the above message participant returns a Participant Status message, holding respective message response.
Runtime receives Participant Status message and stores relevant information in database, Or performs respective actions.
4.2.2: Policy Participant Agent
Policy participant receives messages through participant-intermediary common code, and handles them by invoking REST APIs towards policy-framework.
For example, When a ControlLoopUpdate message is received by policy participant, it contains full ToscaServiceTemplate describing all components
participating in a control loop. When the control loop element state changed from UNINITIALIZED to PASSIVE, Policy-participant triggers creation
of policy-types and policies in Policy-Framework.
When the state changes from PASSIVE to UNINITIALIZED, Policy-Participant deletes the policies, policy-types by invoking REST APIs towards policy-framework.
4.2.4: DCAE Participant Agent
DCAE participant receives messages through participant-intermediary common code, and handles them by invoking CLAMP DCAE methods,
which internally work towards DCAE.
For example, When a ControlLoopUpdate message is received by DCAE participant, it contains full ToscaServiceTemplate describing all components
participating in a control loop. When the control loop element state changed from UNINITIALIZED to PASSIVE, DCAE-participant triggers deploy
of DCAE.
When the state changes from PASSIVE to UNINITIALIZED, DCAE-Participant un-deploys DCAE by invoking methods towards CLAMP.
4.2.5: Kubernetes Participant Agent
Kubernetes participant receives messages through participant-intermediary common code, and handles them by invoking Kubernetes Open API.
For example, When a ControlLoopUpdate message is received by Kubernetes participant, When the control loop element state changed from UNINITIALIZED to PASSIVE, Kubernetes-participant triggers Kubernetes Open API and passes the HELM charts towards cluster.
4.3: Client Side
4.3.1: Client SDK: Composition of Control Loop Tosca
4.3.2: Client User Interface
4.4 Other Considerations
4.4.1 Upgrade
Performing a hot upgrade of the Control Loop at run time as well as handling an upgrade of the software in one or more of the participants in an Control Loop is a particularly challenging issue because upgrading must handle the following cases without tearing down the Control Loop:
- Upgrade and changes of the configuration data of participants
- Addition of or removal of participants in an Control Loop
- Upgrade of software in one or more participants in an Control Loop
- Maintenance of compatibility between participants when an update of more than one participant must be done together to ensure compatibility, for example, when a protocol being used by two participants to communicate is upgraded
4.4.2 Scalability
The system is designed to be inherently scalable. The control loop runtime server is stateless, all state is preserved in the run time inventory in the database. When the user requests a control loop operation (such as an instantiation, activation, passivation, or an ininitialization) the server broadcasts the request to participants over DMaaP and saves details of the request to the database. The server does not directly wait for responses to requests.
...
This approach makes it easy to scale control loop LCM. As control loop instance counts increase, more than one runtime server can be deployed and REST/supervision operations on control loop instances can run in parallel. The number of participants can scale because an asynchronous broadcast mechanism is used for server-participant communication and there is no direct connection or communication channel between participants and runtime servers. Participant state, control loop instance state, and control loop element state is held in the database, so any runtime server can handle operations for any participant. Because many participants of a particular type can be deployed and participant instances can load balance control loop element instances for different control loops of many types across themselves using a mechanism such as a Kubernetes cluster.
