VNF SDK Casablanca Backlog & User Stories

Scratch pad for Casablanca planning.  Add unprioritized backlog items and user stories here. We will discuss collectively during VNFSDK team meetings.

Release 3 Mission:

Simplify the process of developing and onboarding VNFs. Expand ONAP's VNF ecosystem through compliance testing.

Highlights:

User Stories

Backlog Items

1. Enhance dovetail integration so we can use it in LFN Compliance/Verification testing
2. modular marketplace framework to make it easier to plug in tests (maybe configurable per application such as compliance testing, operator-vendor engagement, 3rd party enhancements, etc.)
3. Incorporate vnfreqs testable requirements
4. Support SDC on boarding tests (maybe allow SDC to replace refrepo portal, but use vnfmarket-be for their own onboarding test engine
5. consistent support for HEAT/TOSCA VNFs (as defined in VNFReqs) - may not be 100% common
6. HPA, SOL-004 certificate, and other carry-over items
7. VES: multivim enhancements
8. Enhancements to meet use cases?

Other potential considerations?

• PNF onboarding support
• generic netconf server module for VNFs?
• K8s VNFs?
• HEAT→TOSCA migration tool?
• Image management/distribution (image upload to deploy VNFs)
  • quarantine area
  • separate from what happens after onboarding
  • includes model changes
  • encryption?
• Data model changes (boot disk, HPA format clarification, (deployment flavor support))
• Security (discuss with SEC and ARC)
