- Model and policy driven application controller with intrinsic VNF management capabilities.
- Support of multi vendor system of VNFs with interdependence between them.
- Provide uploading capabilities of standard data model which describe the management, configuration and inter-dependencies of the VNF.
- APPC model will be based on ONAP TOSCA and Yang containing a dependency model, LCM recipes, configuration templates, policies etc.
- APPC provides multi-protocol southbound plugins, including support for NETCONF, Chef via a Chef Server, and Ansible and ability to operate through vendor specific VNFM/EMS via adaptation through a plugin.
- APPC provides a VNF configuration repository with the latest working configuration for each managed VNF instance it is responsible for.

- How does this project fit into the rest of the ONAP Architecture?
- Expansion of existing APPC ONAP component to support more complex use cases.
- Establish dependence on the Common Controller SDK to be used as the base platform for the controller.
- Depends on Service Designer for generating the model(s) and other artifacts necessary for specifying controller runtime behaviorAdditional dependency would be the Modeling.
- Depends on Multi VIM project for cloud infrastructure APIs
- How does this align with external standards/specifications?
- Inspired by ETSI NFV LCM signatures
- Use TOSCA and YANG for all model definitions.
- Use Netconf/Chef and Ansible for component southbound interface
