How do we accelerate migration using A&AI and the RunTime DB solution

Proposed a topic to be explored by AI&I and other ONAP WGs.

High impact, common interest among most CSPs 

   

Status Quo:

Most operators have multiple, siloed, possibly overlapping topology and inventory (domain specific) databases

Goal is to integrate ALL Inventory, and Topology databases into a Unified AI&I Architecture modeled DB which would contain ALL VNFs (VMs/Containers), PNFs, plus support easy expansion for future Inventory & Topology constructs/technologies.  

May take considerable time/investment (both are short).

 

Targeted Objectives

  • Fast integration/consolidation time
  • Minimize impact to business systems during migration
  • Reduce throw away code
  • Reduce throw away integration work
  • Improve Service/Resource LCM & SA, especially for 5G

 

How to accelerate the migration to Unified Database?

  • Phased Externalization of key PNF/VNF/CNF attributes currently stored in multiple inventory and topology silos.
  • Simplify the eventual consolidation of Inventory and Topology DBs using proposed automation tools and advanced discovery capabilities supporting the above
  • Leverage AI&I and possibly the ONAP Runtime Config DB and other ONAP WGs to help solve the problem
  • Proposed topic can be explored by the AI&I and other ONAP WGs.
  • Need to expand this preliminary list
