Introduction

Service endpoint information

ONAP services need to be registered to MSB to leverage the service discovery/routing/LB capabilities of MSB. The below table is the information MSB need for service registration.

See also the complementary set of externally exposed ports for OOM at OOM NodePort List

MSB will be deployed at a well-known IP or DNS name by OOM, so the onap components can easily get the service endpoint of MSB. 

How to access the api service: http://[msb_api_gateway_ip]:[port]/api/{service name}/v{version number}/{resource path}

How to access the ui service: http://[msb_api_gateway_ip]:[port]/iui/{service name}/{resource path}

Service Registration

No code modification needed for individual projects to register themselves to MSB and leverage MSB capability for service routing and load balancing. MSB is working with OOM to register the collected service information to MSB. in Amsterdam release, we're focusing on kubernetes container deployment, the process would be like:

• The collected service endpoint information will be added to OOM deployment blueprint, which is kubernetes configuration file in Amsterdam release.

• OOM deploy MSB as the first component 

• OOM deploy Registrator, which watches the kubernetes POD events

• OOM deploy other ONAP components,like AAI, Poliy, SO,VFC, APPC, etc.

• Registrator get notified with the POD event, then get the service information form POD environment variables and service instance(POD) IP from kubernetes

• Registrator registers the service endpoint info to MSB

• MSB use these service info to route service requests

Backwards compatible

While trying to provide consistent RESTful APIs to ONAP developers and users, some projects may also want to support their current API version until an appropriate time to deprecate it. In case of that, two service endpoints can be defined for a service, one for the consistent, standard way and one for backwards compatible.

The customized publish path of this service attribute can be used to support the current API. If this parameter is specified when registering the service, the service will be published to api gateway under the specified customer path other than the the fixed format: api/{serviceName} /{version}.

for example, A&AI defines two services for its Cloud Infrastructure API,  the "aai-cloudInfrastructure" is published under /api/aai-cloudInfrastructure/v1/ which is the consistent, standard API URL, and the "aai-cloudInfrastructure-deprecated" is published under /cloud-infrastructure/ which is the same as its current API URL.

OOM Integration

Every project needs to add the service information to OOM kubernetes configuration files as annotation so OOM can register the service endpoints to MSB.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: aai-service
  annotations:
    msb.onap.org/service-info: '[
