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
   1. Improvements to function test for better integration into the framework
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
   1. consistent support for HEAT/TOSCA VNFs (as defined in VNFReqs) - may not be 100% common
4. Support SDC on boarding tests (maybe allow SDC to replace refrepo portal, but use vnfmarket-be for their own onboarding test engine
5. HPA, SOL-004 certificate, and other carry-over items
6. VES: multivim enhancements
7. 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)
• Support ONAP extensions in VNF descriptor
