1.Project Overview
VF-C leverages ETSI NFV MANO architecture and information model as a reference, and implements full life cycle management and FCAPS of VNF and NS.
- support NS and VNF lifecycle management based on the ONAP tosca data model and workflow
- support integration with multi VNFMs via drivers, which include vendors VNFM and generic VNFM
- support integration with multi VNFs via generic VNFM, which does not provide VNFM function
- support integration with multi VIMS via Multi-VIM, which include the opensource and commercial VIMs
- support microservice architecture and model driven orchestration and management
VF-C has two main components: - NFV-O Component,
- compliant with ETSI NFV MANO architecture,
- providing resource orchestration and full life cycle management and FCAPS for NS,
- providing standard south bound interface to VNFMs,
- providing north bound interface to SO, to take part in fulfilling the orchestraion and operation of end2end service,
- providing interface and work with DCAE and Policy for Close Loop Automation.
- GVNFM Component,
- compliant with ETSI NFV MANO architecture
- providing full life cycle management and FCAPS for VNFs which do not require a vendor VNFM
2.New component capabilities for Dublin, i.e. the functional enhancements
Mysql DB migrates to OOM shared MariaDB Galera Cluster which can be used to meet S3P HA requirements.
- Update VF-C DB Helm Chart
- Update VF-C component to leverage new MariaDB Galera Cluster
- Docker configuration update
- DB script migrate
- Other work
- Configuration Improvement
- Investigate all VF-C configuration could be automatically injected through OOM.
- Data Persistence
Add data persistent storage to avoid data loss due to pod restart
3.New or modified interfaces
Update VF-C Northbound APIs to align SOL005.
Yes, almost APIs required parameters has been supported by previous version,the alignment will add more optional parameter support which can comply with previous APIs.
4.Interface naming
VF-C supports the following APIs:
- NSLCM APIs (Create/Instantiate/terminate/delete/scale/heal....), such as
api/nslcm/v1/ns
api/nslcm/v1/ns/(?P<ns_instance_id>[0-9a-zA-Z_-]+)/instantiate
api/nslcm/v1/subscriptions
api/nslcm/v1/ns_lcm_op_occs - Package management APIs( VNF/PNF/NS package create/upload/delete/update ....), such as
api/vnfpkgm/v1/vnf_packages
api/vnfpkgm/v1/subscriptions
5.Reference to the interfaces
No
6.Involved use cases, architectural capabilities or functional requirements
Use case support
- CCVPN
- vCPE
- vFW
Functional Requirements support
a. Centralized Representation and Consistent ID of Cloud Regions
b. HPA
Listing of new or impacted models used by the project (for information only)
VF-C will consume service/VNF DM and align with the above data model in Dublin release
