SDC Guilin Architecture Review

1. Project Overview

   SDC is the ONAP visual modeling and design tool, which allows to create resources and services. 

   The output of the SDC is a set of models and artifacts, which drives the orchestration at run-time.

2. New component capabilities for Guilin, i.e. the functional enhancements

   1. Support xNF Software Upgrade in association to schema updates

   2. ETSI-Alignment for Guilin  : ETSI SOL004 VNF/PNF onboarding, VNF security package

   3. Support for Test Topology Auto Design （NFV Testing Automatic Platform）

   4. ONAP CNF orchestration - Enhancements

   5. xNF License Management, Guilin R7

3. New or modified interfaces

   1. ? TBD
      

   2. AAF integration (cert automatic retrieval)
      

4. Interface naming

   SDC has an interface with DMaaP, to broadcast once new services or artifacts are distributed.

5. Reference to the interfaces

   1. Distribution: SDC Distribution model

6. What are the system limits

   1. As a design-time component, some S3Ps targets are lower, therefore no scalability supported today.

7. Involved use cases, architectural capabilities or functional requirements

   1. E2E Network Slicing requirements for Guilin release

8. Listing of new or impacted models used by the project (for information only)

1. None.
