Project Name:
- Proposed name for the project: VF-C
- Proposed name for the repository: vfc
Project description:
As part of the integration between OpenECOMP and OPEN-O, this proposed project VF-C leverages ETSI NFV MANO architecture and information model as a reference, and implements full life cycle management and FCAPS of VNF and NS.
- support NS and VNF lifecycle management based on the ONAP tosca and yang data model and workflow
- support integration with multi VNFMs via drivers, which include vendors VNFM and generic VNFM
- support integration with multi VNFs via generic VNFM, which does not provide VNFM function
- support integration with multi VIMS via Multi-VIM, which include the opensource and commercial VIMs
- support microservice architecture and model driven resource orchestration and management
Scope:
The project scope provides the full intended scope of the VF-C; not just what is intended for the first release.
- Describe the functionality proposed.
- NFV-O Component,
- compliant with ETSI NFV MANO architecture and information model,
- providing resource orchestration and full life cycle management and FCAPS for NS,
- providing standard south bound interface to VNFMs,
- providing north bound interface to SO, to take part in fulfilling the orchestraion and operation of end2end service,
- providing interface and work with DCAE and Policy for Close Loop Automation.
- VNFM Component,
- compliant with ETSI NFV MANO architecture and information model
- providing full life cycle management and FCAPS for VNFs which do not require a vendor VNFM,
- providing interface and work with NFV-O component, to take part in fulfiiling the LCM and FCAPS management of NS,
- providing interface and work with DCAE and Policy for Close Loop Automation.
- NFV-O Component,
- Specify any interface/API specification proposed,
- Provide interfaces to Policy
- Provide interfaces to SO
- Provide interfaces to Portal/VID
- Provide interfaces to Vendor VNFM
- Use vendor VNFM interfaces
- Use Multi-VIM interfaces
- Use A&AI interfaces
- Use SDC interfaces
- Identity a list of features and functionality will be developed.
- features
- compliant with ETSI NFV MANO architecture and information model
- providing standard south bound interface to VNFMs
- take part in end2end service orchestration by working with SO
- take part in close loop automation by working with DCAE and Policy
- functionalities
- resource orchestration and full life cycle management and FCAPS for NS
- full life cycle management and FCAPS for VNFs
- Identify what is in or out of scope. During the development phase, it helps reduce discussion.
- end2end service orchestration is out of scope for VF-C
Identify the usecase in the Release 1
- (obselete)Use Case: VoLTE (vIMS + vEPC)
- VNF onboarding
- Network service deployment automation
- Network service termination automation
- Framework for integration with vendor provided VNFM
Architecture Alignment:
- How does this project fit into the rest of the ONAP Architecture?
- Please Include architecture diagram if possible
- What other ONAP projects does this project depend on?
- Projects depend on: SDC, A&AI,DCAE,Common Service, Modeling and Multi-Vim
- Interfaces provided to: Policy, SO,VID, portal
Note: VF-C will be align to the ONAP modeling project defined data model(TOSCA/Yang) and information model.
Now the VF-C seed code doesn’t depend on the common controller framework project.We will collaborate with common controller framework to identify the potential denpendency in the future.
- How does this align with external standards/specifications?
VF-C takes the following specifications as a reference.- APIs/Interfaces: ETSI NFV IFA 007, ETSI NFV IFA 008, ETSI NFV SOL 005 – additional API may be required
- Information/data models: ETSI NFV IFA 015, ETSI NFV SOL 001, ETSI NFV SOL 004 – additional API may be required
- Are there dependencies with other open source projects?
- WSO2: BPMN workflow engine.
- ARIA: TOSCA Parser.
