Overview

Scope

What is this release trying to address?

VNF SDK's mission is to simplify the process of developing and onboarding VNFs and expanding ONAP's VNF ecosystem. For Service Providers, VNFSDK will reduce the time and level of testing required to identify, select, and onboard a VNF.  For vendors, VNFSDK will reduce integration efforts by defining a standard for VNF packaging with widespread operator acceptance.  VNFSDK can be used in a validation/conformance testing program in the future.

The Beijing release will enhance existing functionality, introduce security, integrate with ONAP use-case flow and progress towards being carrier grade with high quality.

1. Better integration with SDC for automatic onboarding

2. Update pkgtools/marketplace to support VNF packaging model. Update VNF template to align with VNFD information model.

   1. add pkgtools to pypi

3. Integrate VVP (ICE) tools to allow us to validate VNF packaging (not acceptance testing)

4. Improve code quality & code coverage

5. Improve security (S3P) (https, SOL004, possibly certificate validation)

6. Align with VNF Requirements

7. Experimental integration with OPNFV Dovetail test framework

8. Begin work on functional testing (ONAP-lite test platform, test framework, specific tests)
   
   

Use Cases

1. Integrate VVP (ICE) tools

2. Standalone validation tool

3. HPA
