Scope

What is this release trying to address?



The Dublin release of AAF project will address the following items:

  • bug fixes, maintenance and feature alignment

  • increased stability of running AAF in K8s environment

    • Enhance AAF Locator to handle Internal and External access information

  • helping ONAP Services engage with AAF generated Certificates and clients

  • (Stretch Goal) Provide CMPv2 Cert APIs for VNFs  (This Stretch Goal is not doable in Dublin)



Note: AAF already has Silver CII Badging https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/en/projects/2303

Use Cases

ONAP Services will be able to engage AAF Configuration as a "Init Container", prior to starting, which will give them certificates, etc.

Both External and Internal services will be able to utilize AAF Locator to find AAF Resources in ONAP

(Stretch Goal) Present AAF Locator solution as part of Scalability/Resiliency initiatives

(Stretch Goal) Be able to generate Certificates for VNFs with CMPv2 Protocol. This stretch Goal cannot be done in Dublin

Minimum Viable Product

The ONAP AAF Project will deliver the following documentation as its minimum viable product:

AAF's 7 Microservices, running in OOM

Deliverable Name

Deliverable Description

Enhanced Locator

Be able to provide Location info for Internal ONAP services and External Access

Note: The Enhanced Locator shows great promise to enable ONAP Components to achieve Geo Scalability and Resiliency.  However, as is usual for Infrastructure, it must be essentially there and functional for Architecture to view and make recommendations.  We are pursuing both essential Capabilities and Architectural Approval during this release.

Note: VNFs are asking for CMPv2 API.  We cannot promise this because of Risks (see details below), which include not having a CMP compatible CA available to develop with, and lack of known Java CMP Libraries.  We will be looking at this, however during the Dublin Release, and demonstrate however far along we can get.. This Stretch goal cannot be done in Dublin.

Sub-Components

List all sub-components part of this release.

aaf-service

aaf-locator

aaf-oauth

aaf-cm

aaf-gui

aaf-fs

aaf-hello


Activities related to sub-components must be in sync with the overall release.

Sub-components are repositories and are consolidated in a single centralized place. Edit the Release Components name for your project in the centralized page.

Performance

1

1

Note: AAF audit trails all transactions. With Dublin, we want to add additional Performance testing in ONAP, not just originating company. It will take time to pull in ONAP recommended monitoring.

  • 0 -- none

  • 1 – baseline performance criteria identified and measured

  • 2 & 3 – performance improvement plans created & implemented

Stability

2

2

Note: AAF has clean record of Uptime in initial Company, 3 and beyond. However, there may not be time to prove this in Dublin

  • 0 – none

  • 1 – 72 hours component level soak w/random transactions

  • 2 – 72 hours platform level soak w/random transactions

  • 3 – 6 months track record of reduced defect rate

Resiliency

2

2

Note: Will be demonstrating AAF Locator as a tool for all ONAP to gain GEO Redundancy

  • 0 – none

  • 1 – manual failure and recovery (< 30 minutes)

  • 2 – automated detection and recovery (single site)

  • 3 – automated detection and recovery (geo redundancy)

Security

2

2

CII Badge: https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/en/projects/2303

  • 0 – none

  • 1 – CII Passing badge + 50% Test Coverage

  • 2 – CII Silver badge; internal communication encrypted; role-based access control and authorization for all calls

  • 3 – CII Gold

Scalability

2

2

AAF Locator pattern we have brought in with AAF allows for High Scale and Resiliency. We are working on combining that within the context of OOM, etc. If accepted and implemented, will bring all users quickly to Massive GEO Scaling, and multi-ONAP Instances, multi-ONAP Clusters. However, part of the work is bring this up to Architecture during the Dublin Timeframe.

  • 0 – no ability to scale

  • 1 – single site horizontal scaling

  • 2 – geographic scaling

  • 3 – scaling across multiple ONAP instances

Manageability

1

1

Will be looking at ONAP Logging.

  • 1 – single logging system across components; instantiation in < 1 hour

  • 2 – ability to upgrade a single component; tracing across components; externalized configuration management

Usability

1

1

We will continue working on Documentation, and helping Apps start up with AAF. https://docs.onap.org/en/casablanca/guides/onap-provider/index.html

  • 1 – user guide; deployment documentation; API documentation

  • 2 – UI consistency; usability testing; tutorial documentation



  • API Incoming Dependencies

List the API this project is expecting from other projects.

AAF is Infrastructure.  As such, it does not expect input from other projects.



  • API Outgoing Dependencies

API this project is delivering to other projects.

      API is included in GUI 

  • Third Party Products Dependencies

Third Party Products mean products that are mandatory to provide services for your components. Development of new functionality in third party product may or not be expected.
List the Third Party Products (OpenStack, ODL, RabbitMQ, ElasticSearch,Crystal Reports, ...). 

 Cassandra, Version 3.11  (Note: The expectation is that users of AAF may have their own Cassandra installations.  Chances are, Datastax client is compatible if near this version)





  • TESTING AND INTEGRATION PLANS

Provide a description of the testing activities (unit test, functional test, automation,...) that will be performed by the team within the scope of this release.

Junits

CSIT (automated functional tests)





  • GAPS

This section is used to document a limitation on a functionality or platform support. We are currently aware of this limitation and it will be delivered in a future Release.

Mitigation Plan

Contingency Plan

This Stretch Goal has been Descoped

CMP interface integration requested, but to date, no pre-built CMP Java libraries have been identified.

If no existing CMP Java client exists that can be used, then we will have to build the API from scratch, which will take time and resources which are in short supply.

We have put the CMP as something we will work on, but cannot commit to.

This means it will not likely to be ready in Dublin, but may be ready in El Alto.



There is no contingency plan for the combination of lack of Java Library and lack of time to write the API from scratch . As a Stretch Goal, we can work on this during Dublin after commitments, in hopes of committing for El Alto.



This Stretch Goal has been Descoped

Explanation: Since AAF Certman would be functioning as intermediate to the Certificate Authority, that CA must exist and be deployed in ONAP before serious work can begin.

We cannot commit to anything that is not testable

There is no way to compensate for lack of CMP based CA. Until this is ready, CMP Access cannot be tested, and therefore, cannot be done. If ONAP works on obtaining and running a CMP based CA in Dublin, then there might be a good chance of committing for El Alto.
