SDC Dublin Architecture Review

1. Project Overview

   SDC is the ONAP visual modeling and design tool, which allows to create resources and services. 

   The output of the SDC is a set of models and artifacts, which drives the orchestration at run-time.

2. New component capabilities for Dublin, i.e. the functional enhancements

   1. ETSI SOL004 VNF/PNF onboarding

   2. VSP Compliance check at onboarding time

   3. Controller design studio plugin integration

   4. We continue our work to enhance our modeling capabilities.
      

   5. SDC will align to the agreement reached in the modeling subcommittee for Dublin model requirements, according to community resources.
      

3. New or modified interfaces

   1. A new interface with VTP (part of VNFSDK) as part of the VSP compliance check feature.

   2. AAF integration

4. Interface naming

   SDC has an interface with DMaaP, to broadcast once new services or artifacts are distributed.

5. Reference to the interfaces

   1. Distribution: SDC Distribution model

   2. VTP: VSP Compliance Check within SDC (Dublin)

6. What are the system limits

   1. As a design-time component, S3Ps requirements are lower priorty therefore no scalability supported today.

7. Involved use cases, architectural capabilities or functional requirements

   1. 5G use case - ETSI SOL004 VNF/PNF onboarding, bulk PM, slicing
      

   2. E2E automation

   3. K8S based cloud region support

   4. CCVPN

8. Listing of new or impacted models used by the project (for information only)

1. None.
