- What is a Context Builder?
- It is an independent Microservice capable of getting information about a service or service instance from a particular data sources (SDC, SDN-C, A&AI, Network). They each support the same API. See POMBA Context Builders and Data Sources for more information. This allows POMBA to easily compare the data and generate a report.
- How many Context Builders are there?
- One for each source of data - SDC, SDN-C, A&AI, Network, etc.
- Conceptually, the SDC one is defining a type of service while the others are dealing with service instances.
- If I want to add a new source of data, then I need a new Context Builder?
- Yes, for ONAP data sources. Note that the Network Discovery Context Builder is meant to handle all primary data sources outside of ONAP.

- Where in ONAP is the POMBA working being done?
- The bulk of the work will be done in the Logging project. The architecture committee has Oked this and the scope change is now in front of the TSC for voting.
- Supporting pieces will also be delivered in SDNC and A&AI (still to be discussed with the A&AI working group).
- Is Logging really the best fit for all parts of POMBA?
- We need to be able to move forward and make progress somewhere and it is a good enough fit. In the long term, we may want to consider moving additional parts to other projects if it makes sense. For example
- Context Builders moved to be closer to the data they are accessing,
- Common third-party tools moved to common place
