Targets

(warning) ONAP must not depend on unmaintained software modules / projects.

...

Improve the lifecycle management of software modules/projects.

Transparent Provide transparent and reliable knowledge about the ...

  • relationship of between ONAP Release → Docker Container & Version → Repository & Version → Project
      dependencies of ONAP projects to enable decision making for the way forward
      • (relationship currently missing is: Docker Container & Version → Repository & Version ; see also here)
    • dependencies (deploy time & runtime) among ONAP projects
    • dependencies (runtime) between ONAP projects and use cases
    • current lifecycle state of ONAP projects and repositories (incl. optimized maintenance of this information)

    Enable a reliable and prompt decision making in case of unmaintained projects/repos.

    Current Situation

    • A deployable ONAP release consists of 'maintained' an 'unmaintained' software modules (used to build the docker container).
    • Only 'projects' are managed in the release process
    • But a 'project' consists of 1-n repositories. Repositories are not managed in the release process.
      • Question: If a project is (un)maintained, are all repositories (un)maintained?
    • Only 'maintained' projects are managed in the release process.
    • But "unmaintained" software modules (docker container) are added to the list of deployed software modules in the end of the release process (oom)
    • Unmaintained, but 'participating' projects (not repositories!) of the 'Istanbul' release are:
      • Application Authorization Framework AAF
      • Application Controller APPC
      • External API
      • External System Register ESR
      • Logging
      • MUSIC
      • Portal
      • Virtual Infrastructure Deployment VID
    • The management of 'release participation' ...
      • is limited (projects managed, not repositories)
      • has distributed responsibilities (relmgr, oom, sec, doc)
      • and is not synced and done in a collaborative, end-to-end manner
    • Information about the lifecycle state of projects/repositories and their release participation is distributed, manually maintained and not in sync, e.g.
      • GIT: repository state (active | read only; Kenny? LFIT?)
      • INFO.YAML: project state (inherited to every repo of the project; project lead)
      • WIKI: release participation (release manager)
      • WIKI: project lifecycle state (Kenny)
      • WIKI: documentation tracking per release (doc team)
      • WIKI: security vulnerabilities / package updated (sec team)
      • WIKI: Arc Subcommittee / ONAP Architecture Diagram
      • RTD: Interactive ONAP Architecture Diagram
      • OOM: helm charts?
      • Jenkins Jobs?
    • There is no transparency whether use cases depend on unmaintained software modules (repositories)

    ...

    Dependencies between ONAP projects and use cases must be managed ...

    • by the Architecture Subcommittee (incl. continuous documentation) together with the TSC (incl. the decision how to continue with an unmaintained project)
    • on project level

    ...

    The release process ensures the compliance of the above topics and provides appropriate means to check and react in a timely manner.
