Montreal Release Key Updates

A&AI

• Schema version update v28 (Representation of RAN Inventory in AAI):

  • Cell Object:
    new attribute cell.band so that the frequency band info can be storedAAI,

  • Neighbour Object:
    new attribute neighbour.relation-type so that the neighbour relation type can be stored (e.g. NR_NR, NR_LTE, LTE_GSM etc.)

• tracing support in aai-resources

• dependency updates

• Use "Cell" and "Neigbour" objects to extend the RAN Inventory model

Open

• enable tracing requests across services

• security, reducing technical dept

No Changes

CPS

• CPS Path Improvement, we recently added %, >,<, OR, Contains functionality and use of recursive SQL to fetch descendants in CPS Path querying

• Upgrade to Java 17, Spring boot uplift to v3.1.2 and OpenApi 3.

• Support Multiple CM-Handles for NCMP Get Bulk Operation 

• Completed top-level data nodes support, patch operation for multiple data nodes is now supported.

• Significant improvement of read/write and query operations 

• Improve stability by huge reduction of memory consumption

• OpenSSF Best Practices GOLD badge

• The enhanced queries allow client to avail of such queries and possible move certain filter operations back to CPS does reducing data transfer and complexity on the client side.

• Improved performance will allow clients to process more data at greater speed.

• Upgrade of Java, Spring Boot and OpenAPI will help significantly improve vulnerability assessment and security assessment.

• The memory reduction apart from stability will also reduce the footprint of the whole system and any related cost.

• Bulk operations will reduce the amount of calls client need to make in certain use cases.

• Support for multiple top level nodes for all operations allow clients to use any operations with models that have multiple root nodes which is quiet common.

• Achieving OpenSSF Gold standard will give client great confidence in the quality, security and reliability of CPS.

• All ONAP MariaDB instances will now be created with the latest version by default using the mariaDB-operator

• Add Galera clients (e.g. SO, SDNC) will use access to "primary" pod to avoid "Deadlocks" 

OOM - serviceAccount (13.0.1)

• Add default role creation to ServiceAccount

• Via global option it can be decided, whether the ServiceAccount Chart includes the required roles
