STATUS: Draft
CLAMP:
1 High Level Component Definition and Architecteral Relationships
The clamp functional entity provides the capability to manage runtime control loops. It provides the capaiblity to
- configure DCAE applications of the control loop
- Associate policies to the DCAE application
- Configure the oprations to be taken by the cotnrol loop (by creating/updating/deleting operational policies)
- Deploy/un-deploy control loop flow (blueprints) to DCAE
- Control loop visulization.
Clamp Relise on Policy to communite to App-C/VF-C/SDN-C/SO in runtime, hence these are not part of CLAMP
2. CLAMP API definitions
CLAMP provides the following interfaces:
Interface Name | Interface Definition | Interface Capabilities |
---|---|---|
CLAMPE-1 | Control Loop Lifecycle Management Interface. | A user interface for:
|
CLAMPE-2 | Control loop dashboard. User interface to show the overall status of the control loop through DMAAP events | Display and update: Show key control loops kpi's computed via Control Loop Dmaap Events from DCAE/Policy/APPC. |
Note: xxxI interface is a Component internal interface. xxxxE interface is a component external interface
The current API documents can be found at:
The provided UI interfaces are found at: CLAMP latest user guide
- CLAMP internal APIs can be found: clamp swagger pdf
CLAMP consumes the following Interfaces:
Interface Name | Purpose Reason For Use |
---|---|
SDCE-6 | To Recieve the Control Loop Blueprint from SDCTo recieve |
PolicyE-2 | To create and configure the closed Loop Operational Policies and Confguration policies(DCAE Aps. Config.) |
DCAEE-x | Retrieve DCAE appplication status |
DCAEE-y | Deploy/remove DCAE application. |
3. Component Description:
A more detailed figure and description of the component.
<< For later inclusion >>
4. known system limitations
Runtime: None
Clamp data redundancy is dependant on kubernetes and the persisten volume.
Clamp appliation redundancy HA reliease on kubernetes
5. Used Models
Clamp uses the following models:
- please fill in (and references if possible)
- << include model that you recieve from SDC >>
- << Include the model that you configure in the policy >>
6. System Deployment Architecture
Clamp consists of 4 containers:
- CLAMP container
- MariaDB container
- Kibana ontainer
- E_Search ontainer
- LogStash container
7. New Capabilities in this Release
This release, CLAMP adds the following Capabilities:
- Introduction of the model driven approach for Control Loops
- add policy-model to the SDC distribution
- automatic rendering of configuration policy UI based on the distributed policy model
- better rending of the display of the control loop flow based on the distributed blueprint
- enhanced internal model to better support model driven approach.
