    Minimum Viable Product

    Describe the MVP for this release- Test only support

    Minimum Viable Product

    • Policy Portal Dashboard - Console GUI where Models, Templates can be imported, updated, deleted, as well as, policies can be created, updated and deleted. The console GUI also has a dashboard where PDP's can be grouped and where Operators can control where policies are distributed to.
    • Policy PAP web application - Policy backend that manages communication with PDP engines for policy distribution.
    • Policy Drools PDP - run-time execution of Control Loop operational policies. Supports queries from other ONAP components to retrieve
    • Policy XACML PDP - run-time execution of Control Loop configuration policies of DCAE collectors, analytics and micro services.
    • Policy BRMS Gateway - intermediary backend for distributing policies to the Drools PDP and configuration details to the Drools PDP controller.

    List the API this project is expecting from other projects.
    Prior to Release Planning review, Team Leads must agreed on the date by which the API will be fully defined. The API Delivery date must not be later than the release API Freeze date.

    Prior to the delivery date, it is a good practice to organize an API review with the API consumers.

    This section is used to document a limitation on a functionality or platform support. We are currently aware of this limitation and it will be delivered in a future Release.
    List identified release gaps (if any), and its impact.

    Gaps identifiedImpact
    To fill outTo fill out

    Policies that are specific to drools are routed through the PDP-X via BRMSGW.

    This is unsustainable long-term as we move to a distributed PDP micro service architecture and need to utilize a Policy Distribution API to groups of PDP's spread out over the installation of ONAP.


    BRMSGW hard codes dependencies for policies that are specific to drools.

    The long term architecture view is for policy artifacts to be located in a nexus repository that are pulled by appropriate PDP micro service engines. Dependencies would be set in the policy artifact jar files themselves and not hard coded into the platform as a JSON file. Having a JSON file to specify dependencies is a poor implementation architecture and there is no need to re-create Policy artifacts.

    Policy template/model/rule development environment is too tightly integrated with the Platform code and is not sustainable in the long term.

    The long term vision is for separate of Platform from Policies and the current architecture is too far off in its development to move to this goal.

    New policy models require too much development effort for integration with the Policy GUI.

    The long term goal was a platform that could ingest policy models organically and not require any development work. The Policy GUI should be to interpret any TOSCA Model ingested and flexibly present a GUI for a user to create policies from.
    Policy API is not RESTful and acts more like database query rather than request for a Policy Decision. API also hardcodes models of policies. The long term goal for the architecture which is to be able to create domains for policies and be flexible import models for those domains without any development to the platform.

    Policy API does not support Lifecycle management for policies that are deployed such as modes and retirement.

    This additional requirement is better suited for the new proposed Policy Lifecycle API than the current API.
