The scope of Multi-VIM/Cloud project is a plugable and extensible framework that
- provides a Multi-VIM/loud Cloud Mediation Layer which includes the following functional modules
- Provider Registry to register infrastructure site/location/region and their attributes and capabilities in A&AI
- Infra Resource to manage resource request (compute, storage and memory) from SO, DCAE, or other ONAP components, so as to get VM created and VNF instantiated at the right infrastructure
- SDN Overlay to configure overlay network via local SDN controllers for the corresponding cloud infrastructure
- VNF Resource LCM to perform VM lifecycle management as requested by VNFM (APP-C or VNF-C)
- FCAPS to report infrastructure resource metrics (utilization, availability, health, performance) to DCAE Collectors for Close Loop Remediation
- provides a common northbound interface (NBI) / Multi-Cloud APIs of the functional modules to be consumed by SO, SDN-C, APP-C, VF-C, DCAE etc.
- provides a common abstraction model
- provides the ability to
- handle differences in models
- generate or extend NBI based on the functional model of underlying infrastructure
- implement adapters for different providers.
