CNF Models

• Conforms to ETSI IFA 011, 029 and 040.
• Those specifications would be available by end of June / July 2020, but their SOL specifications plan to be available by end of 2020 or Q1, 2021.
• Until then, ONAP designs CNF models and packages, based on the current IFA 029 and 040 (it is an assumption).
• A Managed Container Infrastructure Object (MCIO) is an abstract NFV object for OS Container management and orchestration.
• The declarative MCIO descriptor is used as descriptor object interpreted by the CISM.
• A MCIO is created by the CISM by allocating its requested infrastructure resources on Container Infrastructure Service (CIS) instances
• Depending on its type, the creation of a MCIO may include the deployment of an OS Container Image.
• MCIO’s are lifecycle managed via change requests on their desired state, utilizing a modified declarative descriptor sent to the CISM, which adapts the
• infrastructure resource allocations according to the changed infrastructure resource requests.
• MCIO’s requesting compute and/or storage infrastructure resources are modeled as a VNF Component (VNFC).
• Properties of an MCIO described in declarative descriptors and relevant being exposed to NFV-MANO are mirrored in attributes of the descriptors of the corresponding objects of the existing NFV-MANO information model.
