ONAP 5G Slicing using ONAP Service(s) and ETSI Network Service(s)
DDF Topic submitted by Timo Perala: ONAP MultiCloud k8s plugin enhancement for CNF deployment
Nokia Team has been prototyping in this space and would like to share their findings during the DDF event
Timo will contact the team and will ask them to provide some preview material on 1/26
Lukasz Rajewski - Use of EMCO instead of k8splugin
The Edge Multi-Cluster Orchestrator (EMCO) is a software framework for intent-based deployment of cloud-native applications to a set of Kubernetes clusters, spanning enterprise data centers, multiple cloud service providers and numerous edge locations. It is architected to be flexible, modular and highly scalable. It is aimed at various verticals, including telecommunication service providers.
Discussion about GitHub - open-ness/EMCO
Shall we continue to use it even if it is not part of ONAP umbrella?
No control of the code, it is not a library neither a docker - dependency on open-ness release cycle
EMCO License is Apache 2.0
Need to check if security requirements are aligned with ONAP SECCOM (i.e. test coverage, critical vulnerability, ONAP global requirements, ONAP approved best practices, S3P, etc.) => We might need to fix any concern ourselves directly to open-ness repositories
EMCO Architecture & Design

DDF Event:
ONAP Cloud-Native (CNF) Taskforce - open discussion on current state and future plans
Please vote - https://lists.onap.org/g/onap-discuss/message/22742

Jan 26th, 2021 at 2pm UTC

Review ONAP MultiCloud k8s plugin enhancement for CNF deployment DDF topic witht the CNF Task Force

Review CNF Closed Loop proposal (Satoshi Fujii) with PTLs (SO, AAI, DCAE and Policy)

Consider EMCO as part of the CNF Closed loop
Great Feedback provided by AAI/DCAE/Policy/SO Project Team members (listen to the recording )

No CNF meeting on Feb 2nd, 2021 (DDF event)

Feb 9th, 2021 at 2pm UTC

#1 Invite Open-Ness representatives to discuss about EMCO : Former user (Deleted)and Todd Malsbary to provide update on the helm charts. Guidance to address few comments. How to treat EMCOv2 (Multi Cloud K8s plugin). Some options:

Use binary images from external repositories (Similar to databases, Vault and others) where docker images of EMCOv2 is used from Public docker repositories
Treat it as external upstream project, but build and publish the docker images in ONAP registry.
Go with the approach adopted for ODL (where source code is replicated in ONAP repos and constantly synchronize with upstream).
Let the deployment admin deploy EMCOv2 before deploying rest of ONAP.

<Will be re-discussed as soon as Green light received from LFN>

#2 Upcoming ETSI NFV Workshop on April 12 - Thinh Nguyenphu (Unlicensed)

Event link not yet available

Fernando Oliveira, Byung-Woo Jun will represent the ONAP Community (ETSI & CNF Task Forces) at this event - Thank you !

#3 Discussion between ETSI NFV team and Direct path team presented by Fernando Oliveira and Byung-Woo Jun

Common CNF packaging

Challenge: Find vendors willing to submit their commercial NF to the ONAP Community

Suggestion to use: https://www.open5gcore.org/ and https://free5gc.org/

Reference CNF: https://github.com/electrocucaracha/gw-tester

VNF-D needed?
Other artifacts needed?

Feb 16th, 2021 at 2pm UTC

- Interested in pursuing badging for ONAP CNF workloads in 2021?
OVP: Roadmap 2021
Q1: Infrastructure, in alignment with Reference Architecture 2 (Anuket)
Q2-Q3:
#1 Reference Architecture 2 Interoperability (Anuket);
#2 Compliance in alignment with ONAP CNF On-boarding/Instantiation capabilities
#3 Cloud Native workload
Badging will also evolve based on requirements, testing
OPV NFVI portal: https://nfvi-verified.lfnetworking.org/#/
Initial ONAP Community Request(s)
Validate if Common CNF packages are in alignment with ETSI including providing information to OVP team about outcomes from our ONAP VNF-D solution; split k8s vs CNF packages, etc.
Requirements related to k8S ? Maybe provided based on CNCF
Any request from OVP To ONAP Community to support OVP Badging?
Any VNFSDK requirement?
Any SDC requirement (onboarding)?
ONAP should remain "Cloud Agnostic", not tight to any RA2 requirement (Infrastructure perspective)
OVP is gathering requirements from the different communities; acting as "Bridge" Lead for CNF activities
CNCF: Focus on CNF for Telcos, best practices

Feb 23rd, 2021 at 2pm UTC

Thinh Nguyenphu (Unlicensed) - Share an alternative Common CNF Packaging - postponed to March 9th - work on CNF packaging is running a bit behind schedule.
Nokia is exploring on "CNFD", similar to the existing "VNFD" and "PNFD". A CNFD may be treated similarly to a PNFD, which is sort of a black-box, and handed over to another entity like K8S to orchestrate.
Marian Darula commented - introducing a CNFD in addition to a VNFD creates a challenge for xNF vendors. Why not re-use the VNFD? Thinh Nguyenphu (Unlicensed) - CNFD orchestration is based on Helm charts and not TOSCA, hence a VNFD is not very useful for CNF orchestration.
Nokia aims to separate resource orchestration (in the Helm chart) from application orchestration (in the CNFD).
Marian Darula - There is urgency in finalizing the packaging - vendors need to deliver CNFs.
ESTI Workshop updates - Thinh Nguyenphu (Unlicensed) - New dates: April 21st and 22nd, 2021 - Registration link to be shared as soon as available
EMCO
Next steps discussed on TSC 2021-02-18
Update from Victor Morales : CNF Reference (Core Network)
https://github.com/electrocucaracha/gw-tester/
https://github.com/gw-tester/pgw
Request from Lukasz Rajewskito have additional follow-ups (deployment, modelling, etc.)

March 2nd, 2021 at 2pm UTC

CNF Reference deep-dive
Walkthrough of the Core Network reference CNF (https://github.com/gw-tester) by Victor Morales
The project was recently moved to new Github organization.
Supports DANM, Multus or NSM
Question: What kind of K8S deployment is assumed? IS it KUD/KRD? Answer: No. There is no assumption of specific K8S deployment.
Question: What kind of K8S cluster is assumed? Is it just a single node? Answer: No assumption on number of nodes.
Question: Is there support for a cluster running on OpenStack? Answer: Currently packaged in Vagrant. May work on OpenStack, but may require some extra work.
Question: Are there any parameters that can be configured (Day2)? Is there any telemetry provided by the CNF? A: Not yet, but it could be added.
Question: Which components could be scaled out using a replica set? Answer: eNodeB may be a candidate for that.
Question: Can the CNF be used without a multiplexing CNI plugin (Using Calico or Flannel for example) Answer: In theory it might be possible with some minor modifications, but it was never tested.
Next Step: Fernando Oliveira will work on better understanding parameterization and will work on creating an ETSI based package and VNFD.
Clock Changes: in US on March 14th, 2021; in Europe on March 28th, 2021; No change in India/China - Shall we change our CNF Task Force schedule as previously discussed?
One hour before TSC - AI - Ranny to send a mail to the workgroup and get confirmation.

March 9th, 2021 at 2pm UTC

ONAP/OVP - Inputs from/to ONAP/OVP Community in addition to what was discussed on 2/16. What are the other functionalities, test coverage are available with OVP today? What other communities (in addition to Anuket, CNCF, ONAP) collaborate with OVP?
Update from Olivier Smith - Change of chair in the OVP program. OVP 2.0 is being rebranded as "Anuket Assured". First badge will be released this summer, aligned with Anuket RA2. Working with the CNCF on cloud-native behavior for network functions. That will take some time to mature. OVP 2.0 is not writing requirements. It is coordinating the tests and requirements between the various communities. Expectations from ONAP is to have well-defined CNF modeling and a set of tests for verification. Validation tests in ONAP may exist in VVP or VNFSDK. No preference from the "Anuket Assured" side.
Update from Former user (Deleted) - During Frankfurt, The "CNF Conformance" tool from the CNCF was integrated into VNFSDK. Based on the CNF modeling approach chosen by ONAP, VNFSDK may need to be updated. This was part of the CNTP effort. REQ335- REQ338 . https://lf-onap.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DW/Guilin+Release+Requirements
Former user (Deleted) may continue serving as the main ONAP contact point, representing the VNFSDK.
VVP contact point - steven stark
What kind of validation should ONAP require for CNFs? Packaging and on-boarding only?
On-boarding=SDC. SDC can now ingest and distribute Helm charts. In future releases it will also be validated. In Honolulu there is work to support ETSI packaging (SOL004).
Do we want to cover more (E.g. the application layer functionality of the CNF)?
We should probably not go into the application layer. This means we will follow the same approach we used for VNFs.
There will probably be different badges for different levels of conformance.
ETSI Event - April 21st - https://www.etsi.org/events/upcoming-events/1892-nfvevolution

March 18th, 2021 at 1pm UTC

Satoshi Fujii - proposal update from Fujitsu: k8s network design and config draft rev2.pptx
Proposal deals with the challenge of migrating workloads between K8S clusters
The approach is separating network design and CNI configuration
According to the proposal the user will create virtual networks and ONAP will generate the CNI configuration and inject it into the Helm charts at deployment time.
The proposal leverages EMCO (from OpenNESS). There were questions of the exact functionality provided by ONAP.
AI for Satoshi Fujii - prepare a follow-up presentation about the use of EMCO and the value it brings.
Update from Thinh Nguyenphu (Unlicensed)on ETSI event
There are only 15 minutes for the entire presentation
There is a need to submit an abstract by 3/22
Former user (Deleted) - ONAP CNF compliance badging
VTP enhancements to support CNFs
VTP needs to get the requirements for CNF packaging from ONAP
Former user (Deleted) - Are there ETSI SOL004 specifications? Fernando Oliveira - This is work in progress in Honolulu
VTP test development is planned for the Istanbul release. Need to have the requirements table ready by the start of the release. Fernando Oliveira volunteered to work on that.
cl664y@att.com - Some of the VNF requirements might be applicable for CNFs
The VNF requirements are at VNF TOSCA Requirements . cl664y@att.com suggested Taskforce members take a look and provide feedback.

March 25th, 2021 at 1pm UTC

Thinh Nguyenphu (Unlicensed) - Share an alternative Common CNF Packaging - We will wait for Thinh Nguyenphu (Unlicensed) to indicate his readiness to present
Quick review of VNF TOSCA Requirements and VNF HEAT Requirements indicate that they are very VNF and OpenStack specific
We need to look at the ONAP CNF artifact specifications (Helm charts, etc.), and try to derive the requirements.
Marian Darula - AFAIK the draft for CNF artifacts has been presented by Fernando Oliveira , but not approved and accepted.
Olivier Smith - There is no intention to rush the ONAP project to provide requirements if they are not ready yet.

April 1st, 2021 at 1pm UTC

Thinh Nguyenphu (Unlicensed) Fernando Oliveira Byung-Woo Jun - Share:
what is going to be presented to ETSI-NFV on April 21st.
Byung presented the slide deck:
SOL004 compliant CNF package
SOL007 Network Service package is under discussion
Large package handling - SDC work to upload packages to ETSI repository
SOL005/SOL003 interfaces for NFVO/VNFM
SOL018 - Interface towards the Cloud Platform (K8S) - For now it is just K8S API. The plan is to align the ETSI and non-ETSI flows in ONAP and to use native K8S and Helm APIs in both paths.
Draft of the slides presented: - 2021_NFV_Evolution_Presentation_ONAP_ETSI-Alignment_21042021-v9.pptx
What ETSI-Alignment work is planned for Istanbul? - In the context of modeling
https://wiki.onap.org/download/attachments/93011619/ONAP%20ETSI-Alignment%20Requirements-Istanbul.pptx
Proposed R9+ VNF/CNF Data Model Based on ETSI SOL001 v4.2.1 - no resources. Postponed to "J" release.
[REQ-637] ETSI-Alignment for the Istanbul release - ONAP
cl664y@att.com recommends raising awareness to the ETSI alignment work in order to recruit additional developers.
Non-ETSI plan for Istanbul
SDC, SO and A&AI work is planned.
Seshu Kumar Mudiganti - Some XGVela related requirements might arise from the ONAP/XGVela integration work. The goal is to address them during Istanbul.
Alternative CNF packaging (from Nokia) - How much time do we still have? cl664y@att.com proposes to move ahead with the packaging proposed by Fernando Oliveira and Byung-Woo Jun. Marian Darula mentioned that the current proposal has a challenge with information duplication. Andy Mayer - Discussion on CNF modeling is welcome during the Istanbul release time frame, even if implementation will come later.

April 8th, 2021 at 1pm UTC

Lukasz Rajewski and Seshu Kumar Mudiganti will share the plans for Istanbul. May be in WIP state. REQ-627 - Getting issue details... STATUS - no updates yet.
No architectural changes expected.
Marian Darula - Are Helm charts alone sufficient for modeling CNFs, or is there a need for external modeling. Lukasz Rajewski - Multi cluster is still a challenge.
Byung-Woo Jun & Marian Darula - There is a need for an additional descriptor. The ETSI approach of a TOSCA descriptor on top of Helm could be a good approach. Lukasz Rajewski - The multi-cluster network connectivity is an example of a modeling aspect that needs to be handled outside the Helm charts. The Nokia proposal may hold the solution for this issue.
From Former user (Deleted) : I have created the place holder for supporting the CNF badging from ONAP perspective here https://lf-onap.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DW/Anuket+Assured+-+ONAP+CNF+Compliance+Badge
In order to plan the same for next release, would like to get filled following items asap from CNF Task Force and Modelling team. Could you please help to identify the owners for the below items. Thank you

1. CNF Model Element Structure

This is related to our discussion on reaching consensus on packaging - it is still work in progress.

2. CNF badging requirements

We would like to get a better understanding of what the requirements should look like.

3. Sample CNF (ex: vFW) already supported in ONAP

Only existing CNF is the vFW, but it is not optimal as a "CNF reference". Other "Reference CNF" proposed by Samsung is not yet on-boarded to ONAP. cl664y@att.com - the 5G-Super-Blueprint is working on on-boarding Magma (https://wiki.lfnetworking.org/display/LN/LFN+Demo%3A+5G+Super+Blueprint)

April 15th, 2021 at 1pm UTC

All: 5G-Super-Blueprint - which CNF features we should utilize in this use case - impact on future requirements
How to integrate with the Magma Orchestrator/controller
Can ONAP treat the Magma Orchestrator as a CNF? We are assuming it is.
The LTE version of Magma uses VNFs. The newly released 5G-SA version may be more CNF oriented.
We need more information from the Magma side. Next ONAP-Enterprise call is planned for April 28th.
Lukasz Rajewski presented the Honolulu CNF capabilities ( REQ-458 - Getting issue details... STATUS ) - PLACEHOLDER - Lukasz Rajewski will upload the slides.
CDS Day 1/2 operations
K8S Plugin Day2
Zu Qiang - Q: How is CNF package distributed? A: Same as VNF. Q: How is configuration done - how is CDS triggered? Is it through SDNC? A:No. SO triggers the CDS directly. CDS and SDNC are both part of CCSDK.
Lukasz Rajewski and Seshu Kumar Mudiganti will share the plans for Istanbul. May be in WIP state. REQ-627 - Getting issue details... STATUS
SDC Changes - Helm validation. Alignment with ETSI CNF Package (when ready)
A&AI - Bring information about the deployed resources from K8S and make them appear in A&AI. Requires discussion with the modeling subcommittee. Lukasz Rajewski will work with Andy Mayer on modeling changes for Istanbul.
SO - Distribute Helm package using CNFs-adapter. CNF-adapter health check.
K8S plugin - Switch to Helm 3.5
New Use case - Possibly Free5GC, based on some work done by Orange.
General comment - Plan is not finalized because there are still no confirmed resources for some of the planned functionality.
cl664y@att.com - recommends review of the Istanbul plan by the A&AI and SDC PTLs.

April 22nd, 2021 at 1pm UTC

Invite CNF vendors to provide feedback on the CNF onboarding based on their experience with their CNFs.
Kamel Idir - volunteered to provide feedback based on his experience
Tried both types of packages - ETSI and ONAP
Experience is with the Frankfurt release (Heat template wrapper)
ONAP VNFD - Under TOSCA There is a namespace. If a vendor uses its own namespace it does not work out of the box. Expect to have a way to change the namespace supported by ONAP. There was a requirement for SDC to support changing the namespace. Workaround - Change the CNF package provided by the vendor to match the ONAP namespace.
While designing a service using SDC, ran into an issue with the interfaces as defined by the vendors - use different types than the ones supported by ONAP.
ChrisC - There were changes made in Honolulu - https://lf-onap.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/16469107/SDCMultiModelSupport.pptx?version=1&modificationDate=1618834987000&api=v2&download=true
Kamel Idir - Is there support for SOL007 design? ChrisC - It might be included in the recent changes (Honolulu). There is a way to indicate whether you are using ONAP or ETSI package.In the future it might be possible to translate between the two formats.
SDC has a limitation on size of images in the Helm charts. SDC has a 8MB limitation. Kamel Idir indicates it is not sufficient for the CNFs he on-boarded. Workaround - Onboard images to Docker image registry and reference them. Some vendors provide embedded images which will require modification. ChrisC - The solution might not be having SDC handle the images. It is not designed to serve as image storage. Kamel Idir- Manipulating the package provided by a vendor to extract the images might jeopardize package integrity. Zu Qiang - Extracting the images during on-boarding may not impact the integrity. Integrity validation happens before the extraction of the images. Flow is (1) Validate - signature validation (2) Extract (3) Distribute (no signature validation at this stage).

Linux Foundation to take over Facebook's Magma | Light Reading
Byung-Woo Jun - Initial Analysis of ONAP & Magma Architecture slide deck: ONAP-Magma-2021-04-29-v1.pptx

- Additional information can be found on the "ONAP for Enterprise" Task Force Wiki (specially on 4/28)
- Seshu Kumar Mudiganti - Magma may be treated as a 'resource orchestrator', and SO can have an adapter to control it like other resource controllers.Magma does not have LCM capabilities. Magma LCM requires some more research.
- cl664y@att.com- SO should remain generic. We need to be consistent from an Architecture's perspective i.e. what's the scope of SO vs SDNC-C? When do we take the decision to create an adapter in SO and when SDNC is used?
- Deploying the Access GW requires running shell commands as root. This may be improved and better automated with ONAP.
- Opportunity for ONAP: Automate scaling of Magma GW; automate the "magma services" deploymentice

Request from yan yan (CVC Committee) - Anuket Assured Re-Launch Release Plan to provide a go/no-go on their requirements / testing input to the badge launch.
CVC received the following feedback about ONAP CNF compliance - Is it correct?
H Release – ONAP CNF compliance requirements will be delivered by modeling subcommittee
I Release – ONAP CNF compliance tests implementation will be delivered by VTP (under VNFSDK)
Seshu Kumar Mudiganti - Updates or requests from the XGVela project
Considering integration with 5G core slicing use case in ONAP.
Observability - Looking at VES and Prometheus.
In the process of finalizing the use case. More details to come soon.
XGVela does no plan to introduce new requirements to ONAP, at least not for Istanbul.
XGVela - CNF based
Requirements are driven by Anuket community

Enhance previous ONAP Cloud Native Vision/Roadmap, highlighting Cloud Native Capabilities provided by ONAP also including our CNF journey (CNFO + CNF/ETSI Alignment)
Latest "ONAP Modularity" advancement - possibility to "Pick & Choose" the components we need for a specific use case (OOM Enhancements)

- The Honolulu release has important updates to support cloud native network functions (CNF). The functionality includes configuration of Helm based CNFs and seamless day 1, 2 operations. The Configuration API allows a user to create, modify and delete Kubernetes (K8s) resource templates and their base parameters and the Profile API allows for sophisticated day 0 configuration. The Query API gathers filtered status of the CNF and the HealthCheck API executes dedicated health check jobs to verify the status of a CNF. This new functionality is implemented in the Controller Design Studio (CDS) component using dedicated templates called Controller Blueprint Archives (CBA).
- DCAE simplifies microservice deployment via Helm charts and includes a new KPI microservice. The VES-OpenAPI-Manager allows easier validation of new xNF types against supported VES StndDefined domain improving compliance with 3GPP and O-RAN
- Application Programming Interface (APIs)
- Logs are redirected to SDTOUT
- ONAP Components are containerized and are deployed on virtual, shared and elastic infrastructure.
- Built based on DevOps Toolchain (CI/CD, Gating, etc.)

Additional separated key messaging: Support ORAN SC SMO + Support Enterprise business (E2E Network Slicing, etc.)

ASD Updates (based on Monday meeting progress) - Good progress was made. Still working on modeling. There is a wiki page for collaboration - Application Service Descriptor (ASD) and packaging Proposals for CNF
The ASD work going on in the "orchestration scenarios" workgroup, and reflected in the above mentioned wiki page, is merging both the "ETSI" and "Native" CNF orchestration paths in ONAP.
Q: What will be the format of package that vendors will have to provide for their CNFs? Will it adhere to the SOL004 specification? A:ASD extends SOL004. The intention is to make the ASD extensions become part of SOL004.
The interface between the VNFM and K8S should be tabled SOL018. Comment: SOL018 is not defined yet. Actually it is better to label it "K8S API". Agreed.
Ranny Haiby - To be pragmatic, it is best to focus on existing interfaces (e.g. K8S API) and not wait for ETSI-NFV or the O-RAN alliance to define new abstraction layers. There is a need to finalize the CNF packaging as soon as possible so vendors can use it for their CNFs.

Orchestration of Free5GC with CNFO (continuation of ONAP part) - Michal Chabiera and Lukasz Rajewski
The goal is to have Free5GCore orchestrated by ONAP, as a PNF/CNF based service
Once this is done, it will replace the vFW as the "reference CNF" in ONAP.
A RAN Simulator will be used. It is technically a CNF (that will be deployed by ONAP) but it will be treated as a PNF.
The planned demo will include upgrade of one of the components (NRF).
In the first phase, upgrade and other automation will be triggered manually. Next phases may demonstrate closed loop automation based on metrics collected from the Core, UE etc.
Q: How is packaging of CNF handled? Are you planning to use the ONAP CNF packaging? A: Yes. When it is available it should be used.
Discussions about what could be the future enhancements on top of what has been presented
Great demo !

How should ONAP adapt to this trend? Should we focus more on public cloud deployments? What are the differences from ONAP's perspective? Can we fully abstract the cloud using multicloud?EMCO?
ONAP should be able to address hybrid cloud situations (public/private)
ONAP footprint reduction is key to enterprise and public cloud scenarios
XGVela experience indicates a trend towards CNF-only, without the need for legacy technologies such as VNFs.
There has been good progress transforming ONAP to a cloud-native architecture, in the OOM and other projects. There are other areas like monitoring that still need some adaptation to cloud-native.
CNFs deployed on a public cloud could be more of "control plane" app, not the "data plane". These applications might be easier to deploy as they don't have special requirements like multiple NICs.

~~ASD Updates after discussion with Nokia, Verizon - Byung-Woo Jun - Pending scheduling meetings~~ (postponed)
ONAP "cloud-native" roadmap. Request from LFN to provide vision/timeline slide
There is a cross-LFN effort to update the messaging. Last time this was done was 18 months ago. The landscape has changed since then. "cloud-native" is emerging as an area of focus.
For ONAP - Updates from the progress of the CNF Taskforce. How ONAP is evolving. Request is to have one slide summarizing the journey ONAP is going through. Should be anchored in actual steps taken, but also some forward looking part.
Anuket RI2 alignment - 5G Super blueprint
CNF on-boarding - Including hybrid cloud
Q: What is a "cloud-native" ONAP? What is the end goal? That is still being debated in the industry. Meanwhile ONAP is making steps towards this goal. We should be able to highlight this in the messaging slide, even if the end goal is still a moving target.
We should not mix the two topics:(1) ONAP orchestrating CNFs (2) ONAP itself adopting a cloud-native architecture. Both topics should be addressed in the messaging slide, but let's keep them separate.

ASD Update (Marian Darula )
Ericsson/Nokia had a meeting. Good progress made. Certain items are still under discussion.
Next step will be to have a PoC with an ONAP sample application (vFW and/or Magma Controller/AGW?). A stage 3 data model that is TOSCA based is required for the PoC. Ericsson is working on that.
There is a proposal from Ericsson to add network specific descriptors, like L2 connectivity.
Figuring out how to validate parameter consistency
Feel free to provide feedback about ASD packaging (Orchestration Scenarios ) including suggestions for the POC

Official presentation to the forum will be done next week
ASD POC (Byung-Woo Jun , Lukasz Rajewski , Seshu Kumar Mudiganti )
Working on the details of the architecture - ASD Onboarding and Orchestration PoC
Analyzing impact to existing ONAP components.
Starting with on-boarding - what are the implications on SDC.
Next items for discussion include modeling for A&AI, How to extract parameter values, how to create custom workflow.
Trying to re-use existing flows, where possible.
Marian Darula - Final version of ASD is not finalized. Can the PoC progress with the existing version? Byung-Woo Jun - Probably yes. There is enough to start with.
Zu Qiang - Modeling should not be driven entirely by the PoC. It should happen independently.
Kamel Idir - What will be the impact on service design in SDC? There might be some impact, but exact details are TBD based on the architecture discussion. However, the focus of the PoC is not on instantiation, but rather day 2 configuration and control loop.
ASD presentation to the TSC - ASD proposal is ready to be presented, although it is still WIP. Details of the presentation will be discussed on Monday's 'orchestration scenarios' call.

November 30th, 2021 at 2pm UTC

Proposed joint meeting with EMCO technical leaders (Sharad D Mishra (Deactivated) , Srinivasa Addepalli ) to discuss details of future integration - Roles and responsibilities, API calls, Integration points (Multicloud vs. directly from SO), any other open technical questions.
Follow-up on analysis done by Orange - EMCO & Ongoing Work in Orange , K8s plugin - Summary and use in ONAP for CNFO
Why was EMCO created in the first place? What were the motivations? What ONAP gaps does EMCO address?
A few initial gaps for integration were identified by Lukasz Rajewski
Srinivasa Addepalli - EMCOs goal is to deploy "complex" applications (or CNFs) across multiple K8S clusters. It continues monitoring the deployed applications and provides status. EMCO assumes K8S is the cloud infrastructure, but it supports VMs as well. It can communicate with public cloud APIs (Azure, GCP). EMCO v1 was integrated with ONAP multicloud, which handles single CNFs. EMCO v2 can handle a network service (multiple CNFs). EMCO does not have a "standard compliant" northbound API (e.g. ETSI VNFM or NFVO)
Seshu Kumar Mudiganti - Proposes a Service-Orchestration/Resource-Orchestration approach. EMCO can handle Helm charts deployment (=resource). SO will handle the service level.
Lukasz Rajewski - We should compare the terminology between ONAP/EMCO/ETSI.
Srinivasa Addepalli - EMCO handles "composite applications" described by a Helm chart. It provides value by interconnecting the components of the composite service, e.g. using ISTIO.
What will be the demarcation between ONAP and EMCO? Will EMCO handle an entire CNF? Each Helm chart separately? In EMCO, One application may have multiple micro services. ONAP has "services" consisting of "VF"s, That may have "VF modules". Each "VF module" is a Helm chart.
Lukasz Rajewski - The main difference between ONAP and EMCO is that ONAP deploys each "VF module" (=Helm chart) separately, using an API call to multicloud. We need to find a way to preserve this approach, making multiple API calls to EMCO.
First step for integration - ONAP will call EMCO for each "VF module". This will not take full advantage of EMCO's capabilities, but will only serve as a first step toward deeper integration. CNF adapter in SO will be the integration point. Multicloud will not be used for this integration.
Future steps for integration - Have EMCO handle an entire VF as one composite application.

December 7th, 2021 at 2pm UTC

<meeting was not recorded - Ranny Haiby - sorry, my bad.>
Plan EMCO integration - PoC in Jakarta? Full feature later?
There is a need to go to the next level of details
Highest impact will probably be on SO

(Thinh): Share the ETSI event link when it will be available
(Seshu): Questions for XGVela

It would be great to highlight more clearly the purpose of XGVela as a platform to build CNFs and get feedback from 3^rd party vendors, who are today already creating CNFS for carriers, to assess the value proposition

After the CNF is created via XGVela – can we then deploy the CNF on any Cloud environment without using XGVela at run-time?

If we need XGVela then have we performed an analysis to demonstrate the value proposition vs K8S and its ecosystem?

Build a slide to highlight how XGVela (i.e. create CNF) is complementary to ONAP (onboard CNF/orchestrate CNF, etc.) and how it will fit to the CNCF Landscape
