Identified Need | Description | Driver | Dependencies | Project fit |
| Do we need a ticketing service? | ||||
| Do we need infrastructure policies? | ||||
| Do we need placement policies? | ||||
Define policy types currently supported in DCAE (or other arch components), and to be supported in 1st release | e.g. scaling, placement, security, fault response, telemetry, SLA, quota, reliability (independent from SLA?) ... | Assess any policies from Open-O | ||
| Support in VNF package, SDK, onboarding, validation tests, ... | Define policy expressions e.g. XACML, Drools, and how these are developed/packaged and distributed/applied in deployment. | |||
| NFVI introspection for assessment of policies against resources, e.g. for placement. | Define where inventory of placement/SLA-relevant info will be held, e.g. A&AI | |||
| Define any distributed policy tools/frameworks in scope for 1st release. | DCAE/CLAMP-based policies are the basis, but additional policy frameworks e.g. OpenStack Congress are potential arch elements. | |||
| Conflict detection. | ||||
Project proposals.
[repeat for each project. Note: This is not a complete project proposal skeleton, only sufficient enough for this discussion]
Project 1:
Project Name:
- Provide a brief project name.Infrastructure for Building Policies
Project Description
- Provide a high level description of the project
Scope:
- Quickly identify scope, consider: documentation, APIs, models, testing, integration, functionality.
- Note of any particular deliverables to highlight.Policy aspects related to a VNF/service needs, e.g. for lifecycle management of VNF/service, e.g. scaling, placement, security, fault response, telemetry, SLA, ... including how policies are designed/packaged/onboarded.
Scope:
- Policy repository for storage and lifecycle management of policy
- Conflict Detection
- If anything is out of scope, not it down
...
Project 2:
Project Name:
- Provide a brief project name.
Project Description
- Provide a high level description of the projectPolicy Distribution
Project Description
- Ingestion and distribution to elements where policy will be applied.
Scope:
- Policy Decision Engines
- Policy Enforcement Points
- Policy repository
Other:
- Identify baseline code (if any)
Project 3
Project Name:

Project Description
- Platform-level policies, i.e. independent of specific VNF/service.
Scope:
- Quickly identify scope, consider: documentation, APIs, models, testing, integration, functionality.Where can they be expressed
- Note of any particular deliverables to highlight.
- If anything is out of scope, not it down
Other:
- Identify baseline code (if any)
Project 4
Project Name:
- Policy Enforcement Point Onboarding
Project Description
- Ensuring elements that enforce policy conform to standards and are able to enforce policy
Scope:
- Required API's for enforcement
- Requirements and security surrounding enforcement points
- If anything is out of scope, not it down
