CLAMP (Closed loop Automation Platform):

1 High Level Component Definition and Architectural Relationships 





The CLAMP functional entity provides the capability to manage runtime control loops.  It provides the capability to

  • Create control loop from DCAE blueprint sent by SDC

  • Create configuration policy from the policy Tosca sent by SDC

  •  Configure DCAE applications of the control loop

  • Associate µService configuration policies to the DCAE application

  • Configure the operations to be taken by the control loop (by creating/updating/deleting operational policies)

  • Deploy/un-deploy control loop flow (blueprints) to DCAE

  • Control loop visualization. 

CLAMP relies on Policy to communicate to App-C/VF-C/SDN-C/SO in runtime, hence these are not part of CLAMP
