4.1.1 changes bring support for OsContainer based VNFs
Problem aiming to solve
Proposal for describing a VNF that is based on osContainers.
Changes from v3.3.1
New Classes/Types:
...
- New Property Vnfd:vnfpackagechangeinfo of type VnfPackageChangeInfo with cardinality 0..N - Information used for performing the change of the current VNF Package. More than one VNF Package Change Info construct is possible to cater the possibility that changes of the current VNF Package can be performed for different source VNFDs.
- New Property Vnfd:lcmOperationCoordination of type VnfLcmOperationCoordination with cardinality 0..N - Provides information used for the coordination in VNF LCM operations.
VNFD Types:

Changes from v4.1.1
New Classes/Types:
- New type Class OsContainerDesc which describes the member properties of a set of co-located container compute resources when these are realizing a VDU
The osContainerDesc element(s) are listed in the VNF Descriptor and referenced by the VDU element(s). Each VDU may be made up of group of containers, often called a "pod".

Description
osContainerDescId
M
1
Identifier
Unique identifier of this OsContainerDesc in the VNFD.
requestedCpuResources
M
0..1
Integer
Number of CPU resources requested for the container (e.g. in milli-CPU-s)
requestedMemoryResources
M
0..1
Number
Amount of memory resources requested for the container (e.g. in MB).
requestedEphemeralStorageResources
M
0..1
Number
Size of ephemeral storage resources requested for the container (e.g. in GB).
extendedResourceRequests
M
0..N
Not specified
An array of key-value pairs of extended resources required by the container.
See note.
cpuResourceLimit
M
0..1
Integer
Number of CPU resources the container can maximally use (e.g. in milli-CPU).
memoryResourceLimit
M
0..1
Number
Amount of memory resources the container can maximum use (e.g. in MB).
ephemeralStorageResourceLimit
M
0..1
Number
Size of ephemeral storage resources the container can maximum use (e.g. in GB).
swImageDesc
M
1
Identifier (Reference to SwImageDesc)
Describes the software image realizing this OS container.
bootData
M
0..1
Not specified
Contains a string or a URL to a file contained in the VNF package used to customize a container resource at boot time. The bootData may contain variable parts that are replaced by deployment specific values before being sent.
virtualStorageDesc
M
0..N
Identifier (Reference to VirtualStorageDesc)
Links to virtualStorageDesc-s of the Vdu. The storages represented by the linked VirtualStorageDesc-s are attached to the OS Container as volumes. Shall be present in case the OS container requires storage resources.
monitoringParameters
M
0..N
MonitoringParameter
Specifies the virtualised resource related performance metrics on the OsContainerDesc level to be tracked by the VNFM. MonitoringParameter is defined in clause 7.1.11.3.
NOTE: Extended resources are to describe any type of resource provided by the container infrastructure. One example implementation of extended resources are “Extended Resources” in case the container infrastructure service is a Kubernetes® instance.
- New type Class MciopProfile which describes properties of the Managed Container Infrastructure Object Package (MCIOP) which are used during deployment of containerized workloads based on a MCIOP, associated to a VNF deployment flavour. An MCIOP is a hierarchical aggregate of information objects for OS container management and orchestration. Multiple MCIOPs can be included in a VNF Package. The MCIOP is expected to be realized by a Helm chart.
Each VnfDf in the VNF Descriptor would list the appropriate mciopProfiles.

Description
mciopId
M
1
Identifier
Identifies the MCIOP in the VNF package.
deploymentOrder
M
0..1
Integer
Indicates the order in which this MCIOP shall be deployed in relation to other MCIOPs. A lower value specifies an earlier deployment.
affinityOrAntiAffinityGroupId
M
0..N
Identifier (Reference to AffinityOrAntiAffinityGroup)
References the affinity or anti-affinity group(s) the MCIOP belongs to.
See note.
associatedVdu
M
0..N
Identifier (Reference to Vdu)
List of VDUs which are associated to this MCIOP and which are deployed using this MCIOP.
NOTE: Each identifier references an affinity or anti-affinity group which expresses affinity or anti-affinity relationships between the containerized workloads to be created using this MCIOP and the containerized workloads to be created using other MCIOP(s) in the same group.
- New types VirtualCpd, AdditionalServiceData, Class VirtualCpd. New datatypes AdditionalServiceData and ServicePortData
VirtualCpd - A type of Cpd that describes a requirement to create a virtual connection point allowing the access to a number of VNFC instances (based on their respective VDUs).

(inherited attributes)
All attributes inherited from Cpd.
See note.NOTE: If this VirtualCp represents a load balancing virtual IP address of a VNFC realized by one or a set of OS containers and the IP address is configurable in the declarative descriptor of the corresponding MCIO, the attribute iPAddressAssignment shall be set to value=true in the L3AddressData.
