• Update on ASD
  • Result from [onap-modelingsub] Email Poll on ASD Information Model andPackaging Format Marian Darula , @Thinh Nguyenphu
    • Huawei is objecting  the ASD concept on grounds that it is not aligned with ETSI-NFV
    • During the poll there were no merit based objections. The only objection was the procedural one above.
    • ASD is seeing support in the O-RAN community. Thinh Nguyenphu: Dropping ASD in ONAP might hurt it and put it behind other projects.
    • Marian Darula - There is a need to escalate the issue and reach a decision.
    • What could be the alternative? -
      • Fernando Oliveira : The ETSI proposal is capable and satisfactory, providing the necessary functionality without significant complexity.
      • Byung-Woo Jun : There was an attempt to align with ETSI. There were some challenges converting policies to VF module. The conclusion was this attempt  did not work well.
      • Marian Darula : There is a challenge synchronizing content between Helm chart and VNFD. That was the main concern by Ericsson that drove to the development of the ASD.
      • Thinh Nguyenphu : Another  motivation for ASD was parametrization, and the desire to  use cloud-native approach to that.
    • Can there (and should there) be one solution for packaging? Marian Darula - It was clear from day-1 of the ASD effort that there might be more than one approach. There was never an attempt to make ASD the only winning solution.
    • Marian Darula , Thinh Nguyenphu : If ONAP does not adopt ASD, the development effort might move to another community, leaving ONAP "behind".
    • Huawei is not objecting continuing the ASD PoC. 
    • Kenny Paul : The modeling subcommittee can make recommendations to the TSC, but ultimately it is a TSC decision.
    • POC definition Approved PoC policy since the Dublin release. A subcommittee cannot block a PoC,. All that is required is that the PoC needs to be reviewed with the committee.
    • Ranny Haiby : Any request to the TSC should be clear about keeping both approaches alive, and let them be developed in parallel, as alternatives.
    • Next  step: Bring this to the TSC to decide the future of the ASD PoC.
    • Timo Perala notes that
