- Flexible Platform Deployment - While current ONAP deployment automation enables the entire ONAP to be created, more flexibility is needed to support the dynamic nature of getting ONAP instantiated, tested and operational. Specifically, we need the capability to repeatedly deploy, un-deploy, and make changes onto different environments (dev, system test, DevOps, production), for both platform as a whole or on an individual component basis. To this end, we are introducing the ONAP Operations Manager with orchestration capabilities into the deployment, un-deployment and change management process associated with the platform.
- State Management of ONAP platform components – Our initial health checking of Components and software modules are done manually and lack consistency. We are proposing key modules/services in each ONAP Component to be able to self-register/discovered into the ONAP Operations Manager, which in turn performs regular health checks and determines the state of the Components/software.
- Platform Operations Orchestration / Control Loop Actions – Currently there is a lack of event-triggered corrective actions defined for platform components. The ONAP Operations Manager will enable DevOps to view events and to manually trigger corrective actions. The actions might be simple initially – stop, start or restart the platform component. Over time, more advanced control loop automation, triggered by policy, will be built into the ONAP Operations Manager.
