Overview

Note that as of this date, our documentation is still being worked on. The link for it is: https://docs.onap.org/en/latest/submodules/policy/parent.git/docs/index.html.  At some point in April/May of 2020 we will be branching so be sure to refer to the Frankfurt branch of documentation if you are viewing this wiki page at that time.

Frankfurt Release Key Updates


Key New FeatureSMEDetailsReadthedocs/JIRA etc.
Re-design of Control Loop Actor/Operation Code

Jim Hahn

Control Loop actor code was re-designed and cleaned up enabled faster integration of new actors and operations for control loops.

Drools Rules Simplification.

POLICY-1930 - Getting issue details... STATUS


Policy Update notifications

Jim Hahn

When versions of policies are deployed/undeployed, an update notification is sent on Dmaap topic so that clients (DCAE in particular) can make Decision API call to get the latest policy that they should be enforcing.

PAP Component Enhancements

Ram Krishna Verma

Jim Hahn

  • Treatment of PASSIVE state for PDPs: If a PDP fails to deploy one or more policies specified in a PDP-UPDATE message, PAP will undeploy those policies that failed to deploy to the PDP.  This entails removing the policies from the Pdp Group(s), issuing new PDP-UPDATE requests, and updating the notification tracking data.
  • Removal of supportedPolicyTypes in PdpStatus message from pdp's for either registration or regular heartbeat. Now pdp's will send the name of the pdpGroup they want to register in the PdpStatus message for registration.

POLICY-2026 - Getting issue details... STATUS

New PAP API for Create and Update PDP Groups

Ram Krishna Verma

Jim Hahn

  • A new API is introduced to deploy policies on specific PDPGroups
  • Fetch policy deployment status: Clients will be able to poll the PAP API to find out when policies have been successfully or unsuccessfully deployed to the PDP's.

Consolidation of Healthcheck and statistics

Ram Krishna Verma

Consolidated the health check of all the components into the PAP. Previously each component had to be queried for health status, now a single call to the PAP can retrieve the health of all the components. NOTE: This does not include legacy components.

  • Statistics for XACML and Apex PDP components enhanced.

POLICY-2025 - Getting issue details... STATUS

  • Decision API now supports naming policies for CCSDK project.
  • Decision API now supports a closest match algorithm for optimization policies and enhancements were made to better support policies with "matchable" properties.
  • Support for PASSIVE Mode
  • Now returns error when a policy cannot be loaded

POLICY-2067 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Native Policy Types

Pamela Dragosh

Introduction to Native Policy Support for each PDP was implemented. Now users can use the APIs to create policies specific to a PDP such as Drools Rules, XACML XML policies and Apex policies.

  • Drools Native DRL
  • XACML Native XML
  • Apex Native Javascript

POLICY-1845 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Documentation is WIP for each PDP to document its native policy type and implementation.

Drools PDP Features

Jorge Hernandez

  • TOSCA Compliant Operational Policies
  • TOSCA Compliant Native Policies (For deployment of new applications).
  • Validation of Operational and Native Policies against their policy type.
  • Generic Drools-PDP docker image that can be used for any generic application.
  • Support for offline mode which allows deployment in a locked environment.
  • Parameterize mvn repo urls which allows the users to build their docker images for drools-pdp and drools-application using their own CI pipelines.
  • Rate limiting of ONSET events to prevent flooding from identical events from DCAE.
