Control Loop Objectives (Goals) - DRAFT

Dynamic creation of Control Loops

Control Loop designers should be able to build and deploy Control Loops out of the box when installing a release of the ONAP Platform. The steps should be clearly documented and easy to do. With an initial installation of an ONAP release, the Control Loop designer should be able to use existing pre-built and loaded ONAP DCAE analytics, Control Loop Policy Types, Policy PDP applications and CLAMP tools.

Simplification of building and deploying Control Loops

Enhance the configurability of the ONAP Platform to support customization for Control Loops as well as building more complex Control Loops

• Enable the usage of proprietary Ability to integrate proprietary and/or build complex DCAE analytics
• Design and integrate custom policy models
• Build and deploy new runtime policy applications to support custom/complex Control Loops
• Introduce new proprietary Actors for use during Control Loop Operational runtime

Ability to support multiple Control Loops for multiple domains

• Supports both Service and PNF Control Loops
  • Some examples of use cases: 5G, Slicing, Scale Up/Down
• Sharing of Control Loop components across multiple control loops
• Support for Control Loop Coordination

Testing Automation

of Control Loops

Edge deployment of ONAP

Control Loop Components to support performance/resiliency/scalability requirements

Control Loop Monitoring

• Control Loop CoordinationTools to support monitoring of Control Loops running on the platform
