Agenda

David McBride---M4 Requirements discussion

Sylvia ---introduction to the ReadtheDocs  and its evolution.

M4 Requirements

https://lf-onap.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DW/Frankfurt+Release+Requirements

David reviewed the requirements and what he needs for the M4.

Several folks had follow on questions:

How do I mark my requirement if I am moving part of it out?  Requirements can be scaled back even later in the release if we need to extend some of the work into subsequent releases.  We need to be as accurate as possible in filling out the score card.  Need to be clear when a requirement is being descoped and need to be clear on the existing status of the requirement as it is documented and include notes if some things will be de-scoped e.g. if you are moving some things out but haven’t done it yet you are probably yellow not green and you should put in notes saying the parts you can’t do and that you intend to move them to the Guilin release.

If a requirement is moved do we have to get approval or can we assume its ok for the next release e.g. if move from Frankfurt is approval for Guilin automatic?  The answer was no you have to communicate to the architectural subcommittee and let them know that Frankfurt scope was reduced and you want to be able to add it to Guilin.  They will probably accept this but you have to review

We were not sure what the Use Case Action item was that you wanted David to discuss.  He suggested we re-schedule that.

 

READ THE DOCS

Sylvia provided an over view of the plans for the evolution of material from the WIKI to the read the docs site.

The reason for making this evolution in documentation is to provide an easier more organized way to find official information.  Much information will remain on the WIKI but critical Use Case information as it matures and stabilizes needs to move to the ReadTheDocs.  A task force is being started to evaluate what material should move from the WIKI.  One of the members of the audience (I didn’t’ catch the name) showed some examples of issues they were facing and with the difficulty in getting items to the Read the Docs.  Sylvia acknowledged that the documentation is a little sparse and that they are working on improving the documentation guidelines.  I asked if they might prepare a tutorial that they could film and post with the guidelines showing folks how to do some of the basic things and then providing resources for questions.  Sylvia seemed very willing to do that.  She said that they plan to have a Hackathon to improve the documentation and info on the hackathon is below.  If anyone from the use case realization team is interested in participating or perhaps in being a beta contributor to move a use case using their new documentation and tools she would very much welcome that.  Let her know if you want to get involved.  She is also willing to come back to your project utilization call and provide updates on their progress with the idea that perhaps we can partner to start to move use cases. https://lf-onap.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DW/March+11th+Documentation+Hackathon

 

A gentleman from Orange told us that the scale out use case is an excellent example of the sort of documentation we are looking for.  Below is a link to that Use Case.  He went through a bit of it and it seemed very impressive.

Good example of use cases is https://docs.onap.org/en/latest/submodules/integration.git/docs/docs_scaleout.html

Controller LCM API Evolution

@Oskar Malm

https://wiki.onap.org/download/attachments/50202249/2019-04-09%20ONAP_LCM_API_Evolution_El_Alto.pptx?api=v2

Goals (Architecture Evolution)

  • Target is common LCM API in CCSDK usable by different controller personas to simplify for both clients and controller implementations

  • Support PNFs for applicable LCM operations in a consistent way

  • Enable use of CDS blueprint processor to customize behavior of LCM operations in the 'self-service' category

    • In ONAP R4, CDS can be used for pre/post-instantiation configuration. Generic and model-driven design should allow CDS usage to be extended for additional operations and use cases.

  • Evolution steps that preserve backwards compatibility for clients

Present at the Arch S/C Apr 9 (Tue) second presentation.
