VES-HV Collector
...
(Option 1)
HV-VES collector has been proposed, based on a need to process high-volumes of data generated frequently by a large number of NFs. It uses plain TCP connections. Connections are stream-based (as opposed to request-based) and long running. Payload is binary-encoded (currently using Google Protocol Buffers).
Pros:
- Designed to support high volume of data with minimal latency
- HV-VES uses direct connection to DMaaP’s Kafka.
Cons:
- Added dependency on HV-VES DCAE components
Kafka Interfacing using DMaaP client (Option 2)
Message router is added as an additional layer on top of DMaaP to support message service API interaction with the ZooKeeper/Kafka. DmaapClient is a deliverable jar that can be used to interact with the DMaaP message Router api.
Pros:
- Designed to support REST calls to Kafka from both publishers and consumers.
- Pre Defined APIs in Message Router to create/view/delete a topic in Kafka and also to publish a message to a topic and subscribe to a topic.
Cons:
- Additional overhead as an additional layer Message Router would be added between CPS and Kafka.
Kafka Direct interface without using
...
DMaaP client: To be used in CPS (Option 3)
Pros:
...
- No additional layer used between CPS and DMaaP Kafka.
- Spring boot enables easier configuration.
- CPS can make a direct interface with Kafka using spring-kafka. Spring-kafka used in CPS also provides support for Message-driven POJOs for publishing and subscribing events. CPS does not require message service API for interacting with Kafka.
Kafka The below configuration details needs to be added in the application yaml of both publisher(cps-core) and consumer(cps-temporal) of the events published to Kafka. These configuration should preferably be defined in application-helm.yaml included in the OOM charts to provide flexibility while deploying the application. The environment variables could also be replaced by override values.
spring:
...
Based on the encryption and authentication mechanism used, the required configurations could change. Hence it is suggested to use override files for configuring the required values according to the used environment.
Encryption and Authentication Listener Configuration
Supported security protocols are :
1.PLAINTEXT : Listener without any encryption or authentication. CPS application by default is configured to use PLAINTEXT both with testcontainers and docker-compose.

Any other security protocol to be used could be configured using the OOM charts on a k8s environment.
2. SASL_PLAINTEXT using Plain mechanism:
Implements authentication based on username and passwords. Usernames and passwords are stored locally in Kafka configuration.
DMaap-Message-router-kafka by defaullt uses SASL_PLAINTEXT.

3. SASL_SSL using SCRAM-SHA-256 and SCRAM-SHA-512 :
Implements authentication using Salted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism (SCRAM). SCRAM credentials are stored centrally in ZooKeeper. SCRAM can be used in situations where ZooKeeper cluster nodes are running isolated in a private network.
Spring.kafka.ssl related configuration is required. In order to use TLS encryption and server authentication, a keystore containing private and public keys has to be provided. This is usually done using a file in the Java Key store (JKS) format.

SASL Authentication
SASL authentication is supported both through plain unencrypted connections as well as through TLS connections.
Plain : Implements authentication based on username and passwords. Usernames and passwords are stored locally in Kafka configuration.
DMaap-Message-router-kafka by defaullt uses SASL_PLAINTEXT.
Sample configuration :

Few additional properties related to SSL also need to be configured as shown below:

properties:
sasl.mechanism: '{{ .Values.kafka.sasl_ssl.proeprties.sasl_mechanism }}'
sasl.jaas.config: '{{ .Values.kafka.sasl.jaas.config }}' |
Application-helm configuration :
The final configuration required in application-helm.yaml :
Code Block | ||||||

NOTE: Topics are auto generated in ONAP DMaaP Kafka. Hence topic creation is not covered in the scope on CPS.
Proof Of Concept :
POC was performed with ONAP DMaaPMessageRouterKafka running on k8e environment(172.16.1.205) in Nordix lab . The configuration details for both cps-core and cps-temporal as shared below:
