- ONAP needs underlying virtualized infrastructure to deploy, run, and manage network services and VNFs. The service provider looks for flexibility in its choice of on-premise private cloud, public cloud, or hybrid cloud implementations, and related network backends. This project aims to enable ONAP to support multiple infrastructure environments, for example, OpenStack and its different distributions from various vendors, private clouds (e.g VMware, Azure etc.), and micro services containers, etc.
- ONAP needs to maintain platform backward compatibility with every new release. This project decouples the evolution of ONAP platform from the evolution of underlying cloud infrastructure to enable the deployed ONAP intact when upgrading the underlying cloud infrastructures.
Scope:
...
- A plugable and extensible framework that
- allows Infrastructure Controller to register, discover and choose one or more VIM(s) to use
- allows global SDN Controller to choose and work with multiple local SDN Controller backends
- enables multiple local SDN Controller backends to interoperate collaboratively and simultaneously
- implements adapters for different providers.
- Close loop remediation — Monitoring API collection for multi-cloud resource metrics (utilization, availability, health, performance), potential integration with DCAE collectors
- SDC VNF template customization and/or optimization to establish close match to the underline capabilities of the infrastructure provider(s)
