How do we accelerate migration using A&AI and the RunTime DB solution

Proposed a topic to be explored by AI&I and other ONAP WGs.

High impact, common interest among most CSPs 

Status Quo:

Most operators have multiple, siloed, possibly overlapping topology and inventory (domain specific) databases

Goal is to integrate ALL Inventory, and Topology databases into a Unified AI&I Architecture modeled DB which would contain ALL VNFs (VMs/Containers), PNFs, plus support easy expansion for future Inventory & Topology constructs/technologies.  

May take considerable time/investment (both are short).

Targeted Objectives

• Fast integration/consolidation time

• Minimize impact to business systems during migration

• Reduce throw away code

• Reduce throw away integration work

• Improve Service/Resource LCM & SA, especially for 5G

How to accelerate the migration to Unified Database?

• Phased Externalization of key PNF/VNF/CNF attributes currently stored in multiple inventory and topology silos.

• Simplify the eventual consolidation of Inventory and Topology DBs using proposed automation tools and advanced discovery capabilities supporting the above

• Leverage AI&I and possibly the ONAP Runtime Config DB and other ONAP WGs to help solve the problem

• Proposed topic can be explored by the AI&I and other ONAP WGs.

• Need to expand this preliminary list

Papyrus Enhancements

OPEN

AAI Information Model Reverse Engineering Meeting 

https://jira.onap.org/browse/AAI-2441
Need attribute descriptions story for graphgraph, any other requirements?

Is there an automated publishing mechanism we should look into?

@Kamel Idir has v20 & v21 reverse engineered model representations -

AAI Bugs

IN PROGRESS

Performance Issue

@James Forsyth

OPEN

@FREEMAN, BRIAN D reported that when there are ~2400 vservers returned in a closed loop custom query, AAI takes minutes to respond.  We've discussed paging previously, any other ways to optimize this?

New UI Features / Historical Tracking

@William Reehil

@Manisha Aggarwal

OPEN

The AT&T team has done an exciting POC at a sprint-a-thon event that they would like to share with the community.

ATT wants to contribute additional UI views to ONAP, want to discuss path forward

William/Jimmy will look into this for creating the new sparky extensions repository
