Scope

What is this release trying to address?

Describe the problem being solved by this release

Use Cases

Because of the large potential scope for DCAE, the work will be prioritized as follows:

1. Deliver DCAE Platform: Most of platform components are new and under active development and will need seedcode stabilization; this will our top priority as everything in DCAE depends on.  
2. Deliver DCAE Services:  We have identified the VES, Threshold Crossing app currently (based on vFW/vDNS)
3. Support integration effort for other usecase.

Use Cases

Use Case: vFW/vDNS (Approved)

Use Case: Residential Broadband vCPE (Approved) **

Use Case: VoLTE(approved) **

** The usecase support may be phased for R1 and dependent on completion of other commitmentDescribe the use case this release is targeted for (better if reference to customer use case).

Functionalities

List the functionalities that this release is committing to deliver by providing a link to JIRA Epics and Stories. In the JIRA Priority field, specify the priority (either High, Medium, Low). The priority will be used in case de-scoping is required. Don't assign High priority to all functionalities.

...

...

...

Indicate at a high level the longer term roadmap. This is to put things into the big perspective.

Once the platform components are stabilized, newer mS and application can be onboarded into DCAE platform to support additional usescases. DCAE controller integration with MultiVM project would allow support into multi-cloud environment.

Release Deliverables

Indicate the outcome (Executable, Source Code, Library, API description, Tool, Documentation, Release Note...) of this release.

Sub-Components

List all sub-components part of this release.
Activities related to sub-component must be in sync with the overall release.

Sub-components are repositories are consolidate in a single centralized place. Edit the Release Components name for your project in the centralized page.

DCAE Platform encompasses following sub-components.

• Cloudify-manager (blueprints/plugins)
• Consuls
• cdapbroker
• deployment-handler
• servicechange-handler
• inventory-api
• policy-handler
• configbinding
• registrator
• ves
• Postgres

ONAP Dependencies

List the other ONAP projects your depends on.

VNF’s     – The VNF supporting the R1 usecase should comply with VES specification or be able to send SNMP Traps to DCAE

Policy     – For sending dynamic configuration and rules for analytics into DCAE. Policy-hander also uses policy-engine client-lib provided in PolicyEngine-0.9.win32.tar file.

CLAMP  – For create/update DCAE collector, analytic and micro service configuration Policies.

DMAAP  – We are dependent on Dmaap for pub/sub of events/Control Loop messages (to Policy and APP-C)

OOM      – For instantiating the DCAE controller

CCSDK  – For deploying database as a service for DCAE.

MSB       –  Integration with MSB (stretch)

Multi-VIM – Integration with Mutli-VIM project to leverage infrastructure api  (stretch)

Architecture

High level architecture diagram

At that stage within the Release, the team is expected to provide more Architecture details describing how the functional modules are interacting.

Block and sequence diagrams showing relation within the project as well as relation with external components are expected.

DCAE Platform consist of many sub-components.  Given below is the interaction/flow between various DCAE components and external application.

Image AddedAnyone reading this section should have a good understanding of all the interacting modules.

API Incoming Dependencies

...

Prior to the delivery date, it is a good practice to organize an API review with the API consumers.

API Outgoing Dependencies

API this release is delivering to other releases.

Third Party Products Dependencies

Third Party Products mean products that are mandatory to provide services for your components. Development of new functionality in third party product may or not be expected.
List the Third Party Products (OpenStack, ODL, RabbitMQ, ElasticSearch,Crystal Reports, ...).

In case there are specific dependencies  (Centos 7 vs Ubuntu 16. Etc.) list them as well.

...

Provide a description of the testing activities (unit test, functional test, automation,...) that will be performed by the team within the scope of this release. 

Describe the plan to integrate and test the release deliverables within the overall ONAP system.
Confirm that resources have been allocated to perform such activities.
