Meeting Minutes
...
- Clarify the benefits of ASD over the ETSI-NFV SOL001
- There was a meeting on feb-14th on the modeling subcommittee - no consensus reached - Modeling Subcommittee 2022-02-14
- Decision was to escalate the decision to the TSC. The request from the TSC is to enforce adherence to the modeling subcommittee procedure. Andy Mayer - CLEAN state is a result of a subcommittee decision, based on rough consensus. The poll is just an input to the rough consensus. Xu Yang - "rough consensus" means there are no un-addressed objections. Marian Darula - the objection cannot technically be resolved.
- Xu Yang - Based on input from ETSI experts, it may be possible to unify the models.
- Zu Qiang - Why is there an attempt to create a single model/package? Xu Yang - There is no such limitation to have one model. The ASD model is referencing ETSI models. Therefore it seems that it should be possible to find a unified model. For example, the ASD may become part of the ETSI-NFV NSD. Thinh Nguyenphu (Unlicensed) - ASD is not "built around" ETSI models. It may reference ETSI, just like it may reference any other SDO. It may be a good idea to aspire for more alignment, but it is inappropriate to block progress on the ASD initiative. Requests to follow the letter of the governing document (Approved ONAP Model Governance), and decide based on the poll.
- Byung-Woo Jun - The ASD PoC is NOT using elements from ETSI (e.g., SOL005, SOL003, NFVO, VNFM), so it cannot reconcile, as it will require major changes in the ETSI specifications. The "ONAP Native" orchestration approach is planning to adopt ASD, and is also not using ETSI specs. Why not use the same approach for the ASD and allow it to exist as an alternative? Xu Yang - The ONAP Native approach was approved because there was no reference to ETSI and it seemed like a stand alone approach.
- Xu Yang - Expectation from the TSC - Decide whether the current ASD proposal is technically mature enough, or does it need more work for reconciliation with ETSI?
- Timo Perala - Is there an estimated expected time line for the potential ETSI NFV - ASD aligned solution? For all I know it may easily take until 2023 to get there.
- cl664y@att.com - What if ETSI endorses the ASD? Byung-Woo Jun - It will require major changes in the ETSI MANO architecture, may take time as stated above.
- Xu Yang The ASD IM does make references to ETSI. There are references to Virtual Links for example.
- Zu Qiang - ASD Information model does not make a reference to ETSI. It may use identical attribute names, but that can be changed to avoid confusion.
- Thinh Nguyenphu (Unlicensed) - TF (Catherine), ONAP MODCOM (Xu), ONAP-NFV Contact (Thinh) Bridge info: TBD Document depository: TBD (my recommendation is CNF TF wiki page) Tentative Agenda (information sharing and no decision making):
- - Brief update from ETSI-NFV project (5 minutes) Fernando Oliveira Byung-Woo Jun , ONAP-ETSI-Alignment-Status-v7.pptx
- - Brief overview of CNF Direct project (5 minutes) Seshu Kumar Mudiganti and Lukasz Rajewski
- - Detail on ASD concept, IM/DM and packaging. (30 minutes)
- -
any update from ETSI NFV on CNF, since last update from LFN Developer 2022. (TBD) - - Q&A (20 minutes)
- - AoB
- Proposed date Feb-21st (President's day in the US) - Feb-28th may work better. Or Feb-22nd, during the timesloh of the CNF Taskforce meeting.
- Space for collaboration is under the ONAP CNF Taskforce - CNF Taskforce ↔ ETSI collaboration
- Prepare for Joint workshop with ETSI-NFV regarding ASD
...
- Prepare for LFN CNF workshop on Mar 13/14 - https://wiki.lfnetworking.org/display/LN/2022+LFN+DTF+Workshop+Topics
- cl664y@att.com will work with EMCO (Bob Monkman) to prepare an integration proposal. Lukasz RajewskiRanny Haiby will take part in the discussion
The goal is to have a clear roles and responsibilities definition for cases like the 5G super blueprint
- ASD Model approval - Can we come up with a compromise proposal that will put everyone's mind at ease?
- Focus on the technical aspects, not the procedural and vision aspects .
- Keep the momentum going and avoid future re-work.
- Path to move forward:
- Work on 'definition" problem raised by Fernando Oliveira , Zu Qiang , Marian Darula + Thinh Nguyenphu
- Position ASD Model as an alternative to current ETSI Standard proposal to move forward with "Cloud Native Architecture"
- ASD implemented as plug & play (you choose onboarding ASD / ETSI / others)
- Known Impacts: SO e.g. CNF O (particular Camunda) + SDC /AAI (to be determined by POC work) + particular VES Collector - Byung-Woo Jun to review this part
- Work with the Modeling Team cl664y@att.com
- Continue to share to ETSI what we do Thin, Byung-Woo Jun - increase visibility
...
- ASD PoC Status update - Byung-Woo Jun
- SO and SDC teams from Ericsson are working on the PoC
- SDC team is working on the resource VF. working on TOSCA parser. Map ASD into VF, Wrap in CSAR and distribute.
- SO team working on LCM swagger definition for northbound API. Waiting for creation of PoC branch. Focusing on calls from BPMN to CNFM.
- Lukasz Rajewski - Will the ASD LCM API be integrated with the rest of the LCM API?
- The PoC handles onboarding and instantiation with variables.
- Slide deck - Byung-Woo Jun , ASD-PoC-Status-20220329.pdf
- Vishal Sharma - ETSI is expected to come up with SOL003 specifications, is there work planned to support it? Byung-Woo Jun , Fernando Oliveira - There is definition work ongoing for the ETSI approach, but actual development has not yet started.
- Target for PoC - Initially was Jakarta, but now it is clear some functionality will slide into Kohn

- Update from the requirements workgroup - Ranny Haiby
- Sign up page https://wiki.lfnetworking.org/display/LN/Requirements+and+Use+Case+Advisory+Group
- Lukasz Rajewski - The chosen integration option will most likely be influenced by whoever steps up to implement the integration
- Question - How does EMCO fit the picture with ASD? What can ONAP delegate to EMCO? What will be mapped to EMCO's "composite application"?
- Byung-Woo Jun - It should be possible to create an adapter from CNFO to EMCO, but more details are required, expecting to learn from Seshu Kumar Mudiganti's experimenting with EMCO.
- some update from Catherine: Raghu from aarna will be on the enterprise meeting tomorrow to update us about ONAP/Magma integration.
- Project Nephio - To be announced this week.
- Updates from ETSI workshop - @Thinh

- Low attendance. New meeting time? Poll - https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/axkGzYqe
- Looks like there is no clear preference.
- We are still missing some key folks such as Seshu Kumar Mudiganti
- Reach out to Seshu Kumar Mudiganti over email.
- Analysis Mason report - https://oneef2022.sched.com/event/zxHD/cloud-transformation-benchmark-how-ready-are-csps-for-cloud-native-networks-caroline-chappell-analysys-mason-heather-kirksey-the-linux-foundation
- Some good data in the report about the motivation of CSPs to go cloud-native.
- Interesting information about open source activity from CSPs - looks like there is potential to recruit more players to our open source communities.
- Project Nephio - Take a deeper look.
- https://nephio.org
- This approach will require different packaging of CNFs. It does not rely on Helm charts
- It seems that Nephew is "K8S intrusive" and requires support from the underlying K8S.
- It is not clear if Nephio is a replacement for something like EMCO
- The ASD approach might support CRDs instead of Helm charts, but it will require a deeper analysis of how this might work.
- How will ONAP CDS interact with Nephio? What will configuration CRDs look like under Nephio?
- Will Nephio become an integral part of K8S? Since it is backed by Google, there are chances it will be.
- Request to have Nephio project leaders share information with this Taskforce - AI Ranny Haiby
...
- Update from Seshu Kumar Mudiganti on SO EMCO integration.
- Nephio update - The project TSC meetings are tentatively scheduled to start on the week of May 9th. ONAP project members are welcome to join and ask questions. Once an official invite is sent, Ranny Haiby will share it on the CNF Taskforce mailing list.
- Reach out to Seshu Kumar Mudiganti over email to figure out best time for him to attend (AI Ranny Haiby )

- Follow-up on DTF sessions, if necessary
- No open action items
- Review roadmap from Jakarta. It would be great that we reviewed what we defined in our roadmap for Jakarta. What has been done and what it is left.image2022-1-18_15-54-1.png (1166×618) (onap.org) (cl664y@att.com )
- Move to next week
For CNFO there is CNF Upgrade work to be completed in Kohn. (Lukasz Rajewski )
- On track to deliver in Kohn
For other more heavy topics we need to discuss further on ONAP/EMCO, especially when Nephio came to the picture. I believe Nephio will become more a requirement for deployment of specific CNFs and it must be firstly adopted by CNF vendors, but ONAP will have to integrate with it at some point. Also, due to the fact the Nephio opts against orchestration of helm packages we should think on consequences of this approach in a long term as helm is used in CNFO, ASD and EMCO. (Lukasz Rajewski )
- Wait until after the Nephio summit. Follow up next week.
I would like to discuss further about the plans of ASD integration into ONAP, beyond the PoC phase. (Lukasz Rajewski )
- Concern about the separate flows/APIs for CNF orchestration using ASD.
- Need input from Ericsson about the effort to merge the flows.
Drafting the ONAP CNF requirements for CNF conformance and verification badges. Understand if we are mature enough to start with a first iteration of a “ONAP compliance CNF” verification/badge? (Olivier Smith ). Anuket Assured Program (AAP) - we were discussing on how to draft and establish the basic requirements for CNF conformance and validation badging using ONAP. So I would like to bring this to your notice to discuss further on it. (Former user (Deleted) )
- Olivier Smith presented the different certification types of Anuket Assured, present and future. For the CNF workload, there could be three different certifications - (1) Compliance with Cloud Native best practices. (2) Compliance with Anuket infra (3) Compliance with ONAP orchestration (or EMCO, Nephio)
- It is up to the ONAP community to determine the best practices, requirements and test cases for the certification
- Lukasz Rajewski presented the current set of best practices for designing and packaging CNFs for ONAP orchestration. These could be turned into requirements, and test cases.
- We need to have a discussion in the ONAP community on how to create the tests and how it will be resourced. We will follow up with the Anuke Assured team in a couple of weeks.
Nephio vs. MANO (no ETSI NFVO, no VNFM/CNFM, may not CNFO) and pushes down CNF management to Kubernetes; i.e., Kubernetes-based Cloud automation. They are using CRDs (for Infrastructure, Workload and configuration). I expect significant changes around the way of helm chart-based CNF management if Nephio is applied. We will see… (Byung-Woo Jun )
- Wait until after the Nephio summit. Follow up next week.
