Provides a NFVO function Microservice plugin framework for hosting NFVO function components by configuration.

Note: we are not building the Microservice service registration, discovery and routing engine itself, but we are leveraging the engine's capability (e.g., MSB, API Fabric, or Kubernetes Ingress & service discovery) to offer configuration of NFVO Microservice components access. 

• Support for Microservice registration
  • The following default function Microservices will be plugged in: 
    • SOL005 NBI (API Handler)
    • NS LCM Manager
    • NS Workflows and Logic (deployable to Camunda Workflow Engine)
    • ETSI Catalog Manager Adapter
    • Camunda Workflow Engine
    • NS Resource Infra Management (RIM) Manager
    • SOL003 Adapter
    • MultiCloud Adapter
    • Inventory DB Adapter (default: AAI)
    • Notification Manager (not for Guilin)
    • K8S Client (not for Guilin)
    • Configuration Manager (not for Guilin)
    • FM/PM Event Manager (not for Guilin)
• Support for substitution of existing function plugins
  
  • Supports registration of a new substitution Microservice with version control (leverage a mechanism like AAI ESR/MSR/API Fabric/MSB/Kubernetes - TBD)
  • supports plug-in mechanism of substitution Microservices
  • Dynamic dispatching/launching plugin instances based on configuration/policy
• Support for extension of existing function plugins
  
  • Default function plugin extension with version control
  • Dynamic dispatching/launching an extended plugin instance based on configuration/policy
• Support for Service Discovery
• Support for Inter-Service Communication
