Note: ASD Registry, Helm Artifact Registry, Image Artifact Registry will be handled by another Epic, which is defined in Application Package Distribution 

Task: Create SO CNFM and make it available in ONAP

• Create SO CNFM as an SO sub-component, with NBI, Business Logic and SouthBound Plugin for 1) Helm Client or 2) CNF Adapter
  • In this PoC, the Helm Client SouthBound Plugin will be used
  • use of the CNF Adapter is a future consideration.
• Make SO CNFM POD is deployable in OOM
• Register SO CNFM POD to AAI automatically to be recognized

Create SO CNFM REST API swagger, based on the ASD LCM Restful API, ASD LCM RESTful Protocols for SO CNF Manager and Swagger file (ASD LCM RESTful Protocols for SO CNF Manager)

• Note: the swagger file is created and it needs to be refined further

Task: Support for SO CNFM NBI API Handler

• SO CNFM shall support its NBI REST Apis to handle requests from SO.
  • Create SO CNFM NBI API Handler sub-component based on ASD LCM Restful Protocols swagger (ASD LCM RESTful Protocols for SO CNF Manager)
  • Support the following service operations:
    • ASD LCM RESTful Protocols for SO CNF Manager
    • ASD LCM RESTful Protocols for SO CNF Manager
    • ASD LCM RESTful Protocols for SO CNF Manager
    • ASD LCM RESTful Protocols for SO CNF Manager
  • For multiple operator K8S Cluster support, the following operations are supported:
    • ASD LCM RESTful Protocols for SO CNF Manager
    • ASD LCM RESTful Protocols for SO CNF Manager

Task:

• SO CNFM shall process input parameters that came thru SO BPMN Infra, by conforming to ASD LCM Restful Protocols, such as:
  • DeploymentItem parameters
    • The key value pairs, which is to override the default values.yaml
  • ExtCpdParams parameters
    • The parameters will be used to resolve input in the Helm Charts
    • For the initial PoC, only loadbalancerIP or externalIPs will be used

Task:

• SO CNFM shall communicate with the ASD Registry to get ASD (descriptor) and artifacts from the ASD Registry Manager
  • Use the asdId (which is received during the Create AS operation) to retrieve an ASD
  • Get ASD from the ASD Registry thru the ASD Registry Manager APIs
    • e.g., GET /api/asds/<name> 

Task: Create SO CNFM Instance Database Management

• Create SO CNFM Database tables (not necessarily, RDBMS: make a design design) to store:
  • incoming requests
  • custom values.yaml files 
• Provides Database Access Objects (DAO) for CRUD for SO CNFM

Task:

• SO CNFM shall support the capability to construct custom values file(s), by: 
  • applying Instance-level input parameter parameter values which came thru Task #3.4
  • enhancing helm charts with resolved input parameter values which came thru Task #3.4
  • generating new custom values file(s), based on the DeploymentItem parameter values which came thru Task #3.4
• SO CNFM shall store the generated helm charts and/or values files to the SO CNFM database

Task:

• SO CNFM shall transform enhanced Helm charts to K8S resource description (e.g., helm template or helm install --dry-run) to verify Helm charts and examine potential K8S resource requirements

Task:

• SO CNFM shall get placement information by passing K8 resources + ASD' + additional data to the Placement component such as OOF.
  • Note: Use of OOF could be out-of-PoC-Scope (TBD)
  • for PoC, it is allowed to choose predefined K8S Clusters

Task:

• With the generated K8S resources description(s), for each K8S resource description (per Helm chart), SO CNFM shall make a placement decision based on the decision from the Placement component.
  • In the initial PoC, a pre-selected K8S cluster (selected by the client) will be used.
  • In the future, ASD enhancedClusterCapabilities attribute will be used to choose a proper/capable K8S cluster. Use of OOF is also a future consideration.

Task:

• SO CNFM shall support Registration of K8S cluster(s)
  • To instantiate an AS on an non-ONAP K8S cluster, a cluster configuration file that is specific to the cluster must be uploaded.
  • To add a cluster configuration file of a cluster, create a POST request .../aslcm/v1/clusterconfigs will be performed.
  • SO CNFM receives the clusterconfigs info and creates a cluster configuration file (cluster name + "." + "config" to the ./kube directory.
• Note:
  • The cluster configuration file for a particular cluster must be retrieved from the cluster administrator.
  • The Cluster configuration file pre-requisities are:
    • It must start with an alphanumberic character
    • It can only contain alpahnumberic characters, dashes (-_, or underscores (_)
    • It must end with .config
  • Should the cluster configuration file change for any reason, e.g., CA certificate rotation on the target cluster or client key expires, then the cluster file registered in SO CNFM/AAI shall need to be updated.
  • The target cluster server and port must be reachable from the SO CNFM.
    • Verify the connection to the target cluster

Task:

• To remove a cluster configruation file, create a DELETE request. .../aslcm/v1/clusterconfig/{configName}
• The configName would include the K8S Cluster name as the file prefix
• CNFM will remove the "configName" + "." + "config" file from the .kube directory.

Task:

• To get details about registered clusters, create a GET request .../aslcm/v1/clusterconfigs
• The API returns a paginated response, but if a customized response is needed, additional parameters for page, size, or and filtering could be applied.

Task:

• For the initial PoC, the Helm Client will be used as a SO CNF Southbound plugin for interfacing with K8S Cluster(s)
• An ASD can contain multiple DeploymentItems (which are corresponding Helm Charts). To determine the order of Helm Chart executions, the deploymentOrder from the ASD>DeploymentItems will be used.
• Based on the deploymentOrder, the SO CNFM Helm Client does:
  • From the registered K8S Clusters, choose a target K8S cluster name
  • With the helm command with --kubeconfig or kube-contenxt option, set the target K8S cluster to work with.
  • Invoke the helm install command towards the target K8S cluster, passing the enhanced helm chart and custom values file.

Task:

• Per DeploymentItem, SO CNFM shall send (with cluster id, parameter, cloud artifacts) to the SO CNF Adapter for the connection to K8S plugin
  • Support Helm Template / Dry-run, Helm Install, Helm Uninstall and Helm Upgrade 
  • SO CNF Adapter APIs are being studied. 

Note: for the initial PoC, the SO CNF Adapter will not be used.
