  • New Property Vnfd:vnfpackagechangeinfo of type VnfPackageChangeInfo with cardinality 0..N - Information used for performing the change of the current VNF Package. More than one VNF Package Change Info construct is possible to cater the possibility that changes of the current VNF Package can be performed for different source VNFDs.
  • New Property Vnfd:lcmOperationCoordination of type VnfLcmOperationCoordination with cardinality 0..N - Provides information used for the coordination in VNF LCM operations.

Changes from v4.1.1

New Classes/Types:

  1. New type Class OsContainerDesc which describes the member properties of a set of co-located container compute resources when these are realizing a VDU
    1. The osContainerDesc  element(s) are listed in the VNF Descriptor and referenced by the VDU element(s).  Each VDU may be made up of group of containers, often called a "pod".

      bootData

      M

      0..1

      Not specified

      Contains a string or a URL to a file contained in the VNF package used to customize a container resource at boot time. The bootData may contain variable parts that are replaced by deployment specific values before being sent.

      virtualStorageDesc

      M

      0..N

      Identifier (Reference to VirtualStorageDesc)

      Links to virtualStorageDesc-s of the Vdu. The storages represented by the linked VirtualStorageDesc-s are attached to the OS Container as volumes. Shall be present in case the OS container requires storage resources.

      monitoringParameters

      M

      0..N

      MonitoringParameter

      Specifies the virtualised resource related performance metrics on the OsContainerDesc level to be tracked by the VNFM. MonitoringParameter is defined in clause 7.1.11.3.

      NOTE:     Extended resources are to describe any type of resource provided by the container infrastructure. One example implementation of extended resources are “Extended Resources” in case the container infrastructure service is a Kubernetes® instance.


  2. New type Class MciopProfile which describes properties of the Managed Container Infrastructure Object Package (MCIOP) which are used during deployment of containerized workloads based on a MCIOP, associated to a VNF deployment flavour.   An MCIOP is a hierarchical aggregate of information objects for OS container management and orchestration. Multiple MCIOPs can be included in a VNF Package.  The MCIOP is expected to be realized by a Helm chart.
    1. Each VnfDf in the VNF Descriptor would list the appropriate mciopProfiles.
