Executive Summary - The Configuration Persistence Service (CPS) is a real-time service that is designed to serve as a data repository for Run-time Network Element (configuration) data that needs to be persistent applicable to multiple domain (RAN, Transport, and Core). This was explored as a R7 PoC. Focus on storing run-time DATA RELATED to NETWORK ELEMENT instances. In R8, this is being proposed as a stand-alone projectCMPv2 work in R8 will develop (1) DCAE further integration and (2) Integration with Cert-Manager (certificate enrollment solution recommended by OOM). This requirement improves ONAP Security with CMPv2. CMP is used by multiple operations including Plug and Play, and NetConf operation. In R6 CMPv2 Certificate Service and basic development was implemented. Integration with server & client to the certificate service will be completed. There are also two ONAP boardering clients to integrate with the certificate service with interfaces to SDN-C and DCAE. Changes in Cert Service as DCAE wanted output artifacts in different configurable formats. SDN-C was completed in R6, In R7, the OOM software completed (in R6) and was merged in R7, and DCAE interoperation with CMPv2 was the focus in R7.
Business Impact - The ability for service operators to visualize and manage network element data in a network (PNFs, VNFs, and logical constructs) with ONAP is a critical business function because they are key Life Cycle Management (LCM) and OA&M operations. The project has business impacts to enhance the operation of data-handling within ONAP by providing efficient data layer servicesenhancement to CMPv2 operation will improve security management within ONAP and affects multiple ONAP functions and use cases, including Plug and Play (PNF registration) and NetConf. As with all security functionality within ONAP, Security is a fundamental aspect of FCAPS, being the "S" for security management.
Business Markets - This project applies to any domain (wireless, transport, optical, and wireline) that ONAP may manage. It is not a market or geographical specific capability. It is expected that scaled ONAP installations such as Edge & Core ONAP deployments will also deploy the database across each installation.
Funding/Financial Impacts - This project represents a large potential Operating Expense (OPEX) savings for operators because of the ability to configure networks saving time and expenses Potential OPEX savings with enhanced security to prevent breaches and prevent security compromises.
Organization Mgmt, Sales Strategies -There is no additional organizational management or sales strategies for this requirement outside of a service providers "normal" ONAP deployment and its attendant organizational resources from a service provider.
