Introduction

...

ONAP services need to be registered to MSB to leverage the service discovery/routing/LB capabilities of MSB. The below table is the information MSB need for service registration.

See also the complementary set official reference list of externally exposed ports for OOM at OOM NodePort List - until most of the ports are generated dynamically

AttributeDescription

Required

Service Name

An unique name of the service, it should be constant so the service consumer can access the service.

Service name recommendation:

  • If a project has multiple services, the service name should include the project name as well as the microservice name to ensure uniqueness, for example, 'aai-cloudInfrastructure'
  • If a simple project has only one service, the service name should be the same as the project name.
Yes
Service Typeapi or uiYes
Version

Service version. Only the major version is used in the URI.

RESTful API Design Specification for ONAPSpecification#Versioning

Yes
URL

The actual URL of the service to be registered

Yes
Customized Path

The customized publish path of this service.

If this parameter is specified when registering the service, the service will be published to api gateway under this path. Otherwise, the service will be published to api gateway using a fixed format: api/{serviceName} /{version}.

The customized publish path should only be used for back-compatible.

No
Published URL

If "Customized Path" attribute is not specified,The published URL is the fixed format api/{serviceName} /{version} .

If "Customized Path" attribute is specified,The published URL is the same as the "Customized Path".

Yes
Visual Range

Visibility of the service. 

External(can be accessed by external systems):0

Internal(can only be accessed by ONAP microservices):1

Yes
LB MethodLoad balancing method used when MSB routes the service requests. Currently, Round robin and IP hash are supported.Yes
PortThe service endpoint port.Yes
Enable SSL

True if the registered service is based on https.

False if the registered service is based on http.

Default is False.

No

...

  • The collected service endpoint information will be added to OOM deployment blueprint, which is kubernetes configuration file in Amsterdam release.

  • OOM deploy MSB as the first component 

  • OOM deploy Registrator, which watches the kubernetes POD events

  • OOM deploy other ONAP components,like AAI, Poliy, SO,VFC, APPC, etc.

  • Registrator get notified with the POD event, then get the service information form POD environment variables and service instance(POD) IP from kubernetes

  • Registrator registers the service endpoint info to MSB

  • MSB use these service info to route service requests

Backwards compatible


While trying to provide consistent RESTful APIs to ONAP developers and users, some projects may also want to support their current API version until an appropriate time to deprecate it. In Service information to be registered to MSB can be added as an annotation "msb.onap.org/service-info" to K8s service spec YAML.

Example:

https://gerrit.onap.org/r/gitweb?p=oom.git;a=blob_plain;f=kubernetes/multicloud/templates/service.yaml;hb=refs/heads/master

Backwards compatible

While trying to provide consistent RESTful APIs to ONAP developers and users, some projects may also want to support their current API version until an appropriate time to deprecate it. In case of that, two service endpoints can be defined for a service, one for the consistent, standard way and one for backwards compatible.

The customized publish path of this service attribute can be used to support the current API. If this parameter is specified when registering the service, the service will be published to api gateway under the specified customer path other than the the fixed format: api/{serviceName} /{version}.

for example, A&AI defines two services for its Cloud Infrastructure API,  the "aai-cloudInfrastructure" is published under /api/aai-cloudInfrastructure/v1/ which is the consistent, standard API URL, and the "aai-cloudInfrastructure-deprecated" is published under /cloud-infrastructure/ which is the same as its current API URL.
