5a) MC Processing (need MC code changes)

...

  • Parse OOF → MC Policy (Intent) API 
  • If a Cloud owner does not support a specific "deployment-intent"
    • Drop all the cloud regions for the cloud owner from the candidate list
  • For each cloud region // Public cloud could have different costs in different geographic locations
    • Compute net_value based on cost
      • net_value = net_value + workload_deployment_cost 
        • If Plugin of cloud owner supports cost based on "dollarCostEvaluationVM-Type" and/or "dollarCostEvaluationVM-FeatureGroup"
          • The workload deployment cost is computed per <instance type, cloud region> based on workload deployment cost policy described in Step 5b).
            • Instance Type is derived from <Service, VNFC, cloud owner>
            • More details are in 5b)
          • Implementation Notes:
            • It is not mandatory for all plugins to implement this feature since the OOF → MC API has the flexibility of turning on this feature per <cloud owner, cloud region>
        • Else
          • The workload deployment cost is computed as a fixed cost per plugin
    • Capacity Check 
      • Private Clouds (OpenStack based)
        • Perform capacity check per specified Tenant (OpenStack Project)
          • The tenant is not currently passed in the OOF → MC API; this is figured out from simple mapping function; A simple mapping would be a tenant per <cloud owner, cloud region> as part of Multi-VIM plugin configuration.
        • If Capacity check fails, drop the cloud region out of the candidate list
      • Public Clouds or Other Clouds
        • Capacity check always succeeds //assumption: public cloud has infinite capacity

...

For R3, Workload Deployment Cost Policy can be stored in the form of configuration file(s) in the OOM K8S Persistent Volumes visible to the relevant MC plugin to simplify implementation.  Beyond R3, this could be moved to the Policy DB. The details of the configuration are described below.

  • Plugin of cloud owner can support cost based on "dollarCostEvaluationVM-Type" and/or "dollarCostEvaluationVM-FeatureGroup"
    • Where workload
    Workload
    • deployment cost includes dollar cost of VM Instance Type (based on <Service, VNFC, cloud owner>) and dollar cost (or discount) of other cloud-specific feature groups corresponding to the intent expressed under the deployment-intent keyword in the OOF → MC API
      • As an example, with respect to the deployment-intent, "Infrastructure Resource Isolation for VNF" with "Burstable QoS" can yield potential cost savings as compared to "Guaranteed QoS" by allowing smart over-subscription while still guaranteeing isolation
  • Note that the operator is free to choose the method of calculating the cost which includes initial cost, support cost & operational cost. 
  • Note that the operator is free to choose what time duration the cost metric is specified for each of the MultiVIM plugins (e.g., cost per hour, cost per month) since they will do it consistently for each of the VIMs.
