- SDOs: ETSI, 3GPP
- Current status:
- Amar Kapadia(representing LFN/ONAP Community) is currently setup an ONAP test-bed to demonstrate E2E Network Slicing capabilities
- Lab currently open but required VPN connection, located in San Diego
...
- Trudy Morgan : Present first ONAP/OPS-5G use cases
- 5 year effort - all work being done in the LF. Work will be up-stream w/o forking code
- NIWC: Naval Information Warfare Center
- Research project - all work is unclassified.
- Deck presented today: OPS 5G Use Case.pdf
...
#1 Create a dedicated controller via SDNC and handle Magma GW like any other device
#2 Have an adapter for the magma in ONAP Service Orchestrator and use it as a resource orchestrator for the specific jobs. Disadvantage: create something specific
#3 5G PNF Plug & Play and consider Magma GW as a PNF?
Current proposal: Avoid to create something specific but re-use what it is already developed in ONAP (SO/SDNC/SDNR) and orchestrate directly the Magma GW via gRPC
...
#4 Can we conclude Magma is an EMS (Element Management System)? YES
#5 5G Blueprint based on Guilin/Honolulu? Magma release is scheduled by June 2021 therefore let's consider ONAP Honolulu release
...
- Amar Kapadia explained that there are two interactions expected with ONAP: Deployment/Onboarding & Instantiation
- Arun Thulasi (from Magma's team) provided additional information about how Magma Controller & GWs are deployed. Magma Controller is today deployable on AWS K8s. Goal is to have GWs fully containerized by June 2021. Magma controller (orc8R) is managing all GWs. Additional information: Configure AGW · Magma Documentation
- Chaker Al-Hakim sees Magma components as services orchestrated by the ONAP Platform. ONAP will onboard Magma via SDC, instantiate Magma Controller via SDNC and then collect KPIS/Telemetry data to trigger any Control Loop action (if required) + Network Slicing capabilities (NSMF through NBI)
- Prabhjot Singh Sethi shared the HL Integration Plan
...
- Review of the integration with Magma Controller/GWs
- Code updated for AWS environments and is how available.
- Up and running with 2 deployments
- fully containerized GW planned for v1.6 ( ~4 weeks out)
- discussion this week and next should have sufficient content for the DTF
- standard SDC/SO/Multicloud model should be able to be used.
- potential for SDNC or CDS might be able to be used later - TBD
- Possibility of plug-n-play model to be used for AGW - something to look at
- Installing the access GW automatically would be valuable
- existing Magma baremetal upgrade model installs as a new package or collection of packages
- For ONAP assumption of initial deployments are PNF and time permitting then on CNF

- Suggestion to have a meeting next week at the same time with a smaller group. (TAC conflict noted)
- Same bi-weekly bridge to be used- David McBride will host, Kenny Paul will set up invite
- Information about Magma Security requirements @Arun Thulasi
- public certs are used for connects between internal components and HTTPS
- Magma provides the certificate to client
- https://docs.magmacore.org/docs/orc8r/architecture_modularity
- https://docs.magmacore.org/docs/orc8r/architecture_security
- https://docs.magmacore.org/docs/orc8r/architecture_overview
- The three above links should address some of the questions that we discussed in better detail
- DTF Event in June - 2021-06-DD - ONAP TSC Task Force: ONAP For Enterprise Business
- Is the slot OK i.e. Tue Jun 8 2021, 16:30 - 17:30 CET/10.30am-11.30am EST?
- Shall we meet on June 2nd, 2021 to finalize the DDF presentation?
- ONAP For Enterprise call will be canceled on June 9th due to DDF event.
...
Suggestion to move forward with the VNF Magma Access GW (and use Magma 1.5 only supporting 4G) but will not use "5G - PNF Plug and Play"
Call flows to be updated accordingly - slight changes versus original CNF flows

There was also another functionality FGPS (Fine-Grained Placement Service) in OOF which I think is no longer maintained
...
SO queries OOF for slice template selection and then slice instance selection. In response to slice instance selection query, OOF may return an existing slice instance or may recommend SO to create a new slice instance. A new process called Orchestration Task is created to manage recalibration of NSI&NSSI selection with manual intervention from the portal. A new SO adapter is created to be the adapter of NSSMF which will interact with external NSSMF for NSSI management. See the SO Impacts and Interfaces wiki page for details.
Meeting Minutes -
...
- ONAP/Magma KPIs Jorge Hernandez , Gervais-Martial Ngueko
- Can we be aligned with VES template? - to be validated with the Magma Team.
- Determine the use cases, control loops that we can trigger out of Magma KPIs
- Some options about Data Collection are still under evaluation including Prometheus (Apache 2.0 License)
- How would we introduce Prometheus to ONAP? It is not specific for DCAE and could be used by other components
- The main Prometheus server runs standalone and has no external dependencies.
- The deployment of Prometheus requires some changes and ownership by the OOM Team
- ONAP/SABRES Integration - waiting feedback from Dr. Eric Kline about the APIs (probably in November 2021) David McBride
- ONAP For Enterprise - Roadmap
