Discussed

  • Record the Meeting!! (issue with Zoom recording)

  • Introductions

  • Update on code contribution @Ludovic Robert

    • working Docker, performance, security, license info, risk management

    • Documentation: Updated release notes on Readthedocs

    • Amdocs bugs fixed

    • Need Pair-wise testing (in contact with Helen)

    • in two weeks TM Forum Two Demos on External API in Nice (including Sonata and Legato)

    • Need to push out OOM Healthcheck until May.

  • Interlude Update (@MEHMET TOY)

    • Example Modify CIR for E-Access Service instantiated in a Partner Domain

    • Flows showing how Interlude works for the Elastic E-Access service

    • Potential Casablanca definition

  • Next Time: Discussion on relationship to MSB "External Gateway"; External API code to do mediation / translations

    • Cover registration, "visual range" of service as external 

  • Next Time: Continue Casablanca planning:

    • HOMEWORK: Which APIs have business impact; Put together PPT on proposed Casablanca API functionality.

    • Use Cases for Interlude; End to end flows 

    • Code to parse YAML from Service Catalog. Work with SDC on TOSCA toolset. Parse YAML within SDC once and create inputs once Service Definition is finalized.

    • Service Qualification / Servicability (pre-order) (is capacity and topology available supporting the specific set of service parameters; do policies permit instantiation, mapping of Service requirements to capabilities provided by the platform; checking against of service constraints and characteristics from Service catalog (or via catalog exposure to BSS), Service compatibility with other services instantiated within the customer's service group )

    • License Accounting

    • A&AI Customer (Possible removal of customer info from ONAP)

    • Enhancements for complex input types (transition from name-value pair to JSON structures-blob ) (e.g., MEF Bandwidth Profiles, L2 Connectivity as a Use Case)

  • Next Time:

    • Sync up with A&AI on JIRA issues (@Jenny Huang; @Ludovic Robert) Next time

    • Document API style used for External API at Legato interface reference point 

    • Casablanca use cases for External API

    • Modeling of external facing APIs for ONAP and other ONAP projects (e.g., CLI)

    • Alignment on API styles for ONAP external APIs

    • Slide updates for MEF meeting on External API and Legato  (Wednesday Morning) @Andy Mayer; @Ludovic Robert; Bithika; @MEHMET TOY; @Abinash Vishwakarma; @mark gibson; @Neil Thayer

Last time

  • R3+ Interlude discussion @MEHMET TOY

    • Elastic EVC use case impacts on Legato and Interlude

    • It may be possible to apply Service Catalog, Service Ordering, Service Inventory to Interlude

    • Action: @Andy Mayer to send Mehmet invite to modeling discussion

    • Explore possible inclusion of future ONAP use case for Elastic Connectivity Service @MEHMET TOY, @Andy Mayer, @Parviz Yegani

    • Relationship with IETF L2 & L3 SM?

  • Need for End to End use case within the ONAP Context  @MEHMET TOY; @Andy Mayer (review with arch team)

    • ACTION: Recommend end-to-end interactions based on LSO Operational Threads  @MEHMET TOY; @mark gibson; @Former user (Deleted);  @Andy Mayer (review with arch team); Include scope of Presto wrt ONAP

    • ACTION: Possible application of External API at PRESTO with SDNC interactions with domain controllers (VOLTE use case) Possibly @Former user (Deleted)? 

    • Could possibly be part of R3 Casablanca scope





Working:

  • Continue ExtAPI Design for Beijing @Ludovic Robert

    • Update: Removed VNF creation from scope and notification feature from scope

    • Utilizing the ExternalAPI/NBI repo for Beijing code

    • Making good progress for 29 March milestone

    • Documentation

    • Repo committs

    • ACTION: Need to schedule meetings with SDC, SO, and A&AI to discuss API mapping; Also Run-time Catalog.

    • ISSUE: Is SDC Providing CSAR from Catalog API? Could SDC provide a simple service view with input parameters of the service?

    • ISSUE: Does SO require customer on instantiation requests? Is A&AI really keeping Customer (or Consumer) information?

  • Begin Interlude Use Case discussion

  • Dana Bobko will present an API Versioning proposal (NEXT WEEK )
