In Frankfurt release, the cds community introduce the following new functionality: 

  • CDS Features
    • TOSCA Imperative workflow orchestration
    • Kafka Message Bus Entry Point blueprint processor Execution
    • Resource Lifecycle Management 
    • CDS Designer UI 
    CDS Integration with ONAP Components 
    • SO component direct integration with CDS via Self Servia API for Meta Data-Driven Orchestration
    • Policy component with CDS via Self Servia API for Meta Data Driven Orchestration for all LCM actions. 
    • ControllerExeuctionBB allows the ONAP operator to execute any action into CDS for a given scope of vnf, vfmodule, and pnf. 
    • Policy CDS Actor support allows the ONAP operator to executor any action into CDS for a given scope of vnf, vfmodule and pnf.  Multcloud indirect integration with CDS for CNF instantiation and Post instantiation


NOTE:

  • Within a single Controller Blueprint Archive (CBA)  package for VLB CDS shall support both E2E Automation and ANY LCM Action such as Scale Out, ConfigModify Use Case etc..
  • The CBA Package is a portable cloud package that enables
    • Declarative cloud provisioning
    • Configuration Life-cycle Management of VNF/PNF/CNF. 
    • Customization to meet service providers/vendor/business needs. 

After building the CBA and Data Dictionary, we can use the CDS UI to add the Data Dictionary to CDS, and to deploy the CBA in CDS.

First, we logon to CDS UI using the url https://<onap_ip_address>:30497.

Choose Controller Blueprint, select file, and update Metadata, the NEXT.

If we want to add many Dictionary items, we can create a JSON list of all the dictionary items and save them in a file called dd.json, and then run the dd.sh script below in the same folder where dd.json is located.

The CBA and Data Dictionary are explained in the Modelling Concepts page here: Modeling Concepts

CDS will require a main component to be able to build a service instance.

In Frankfurt release, Following the instructions below in the following order to onboard the Data Dictionary and CBA Package. 

  1. Load the latest DD.json and run the dd.sh script in rancher. 
  2. Once this is step is completed, access the CDS UI and upload the latest CBA and execute in the following sequence:
    1. Enrich
    2. Save
    3. Deploy
    4. if upload via SDC: Click on Download and use the Enriched CBA Package to onboard via SDC Artifact Deployment for the VF Model.

preloaded the imperative restconf CBA and Data Dictionary into Blueprint processor by running the following bootstrap command:

  • config-deploy→ SO using ControllerExeuctionBB triggers cds with config-deploy action for vLB base configuration download. 


  • HealthCheck – SO using ControllerExeuctionBB triggers cds with HealthCheck  action for vLB health check as part of the Scale Out  and Scale In use case . 


  • ScaleOutReconfiguration– SO using ControllerExeuctionBB triggers cds with ScaleOutReconfiguration action for reconfiguring the vLB  to add the Scaled Out vdns management ip and private ip address for load balancing support . 


  • ScaleInReconfiguration– SO using ControllerExeuctionBB triggers cds with ScaleInReconfiguration action for reconfiguring the vLB  to remove the Scaled In vdns management ip and private ip address . 


NOTE:

  • In Frankfurt release, a single CBA support both E2E Automation, Scale Out and Scale In capabilities for vLB use cases. 


  • In Frankfurt release, all the custom sdnc vtl templates have been removed for all the cloud parameter templates form vnf, base, vpkg, vlb, vdns, . CDS requires only mapping file for resource resolution which is persisted then in MDSAL.  [Template Elimination Capability/CDS Package Simplification]

labelPolicy Naming Modeling

Within the E2E automation provided by CDS, we have a capability that can generate a name for a component, like a VNF or VF Module or CNF. 

This capability runs with ONAP ONAP Naming mS & POLICY component, where POLICY has the rule that will be used to generate the names


To check that the naming policy is created and pushed OK, we can run the commands below.

labelSDC Modeling & Distribution

Automated Distribution of vLB CDS Service in SDC Model using Robot

The robot script can help the user automate the creation of the VSP and Service model, and also update the resource assignment properties of the service model to run the vLB_CDS blueprint.

To use this feature follow the steps below:

In order to check if the robot is OK, we can check in SDC to check the demoVLB_CDS model exists



Also, we can click on the service model and check the resource assignment properties to ensure that blueprint template name and version are updated.


Manual Distribution of a VNF CBA 

Login to ONAP as Designer (cs0008/demo123456!), and click on SDC application.

Part 1 - Create a New Virtual Software Product

In SDC, select the ONBOARD button > click on Create New VSP button > fill in the Name, Vendor, Category , Description and select the Network Package for on-boarding procedure as illustrated below.

Once the forum is populated for New Software Product click on Create

In Software Product Details Screen in SDC, the users must populate the license information and the software product. For the vLB CDS use case the software product for the heat package is obtain from the following link: vLB CDS HEAT PACKAGE.

Once the for License and Software Product Attachment is populated then click on the Submit button. 

Part 2 - Create VF Model and Certify



Click on the Import VSP from the HOME page. 

From the list of VSP, select the Specific vLB CDS VSP for IMPORT to create the VF in SDC.


We fill in the VF name and description, etc ..., and click "Create".


Click on "Deployment Artifact", then "Add other arifacts", and select the vDNS.zip CBA.


Check the artifact is uploaded OK, and click on "Certify".


Add a comment, and submit, you should receive a success notification, and we are back in SDC Home Screen.

Part 3 - Create Service Model, Certify and Distribute

Now, let's create a new service model, and add the newly created VF (including CBA artifact) to the new service model. Click on "Add Service"


Add service name and description, and click on "Create". Choose Instantiation Type: Macro.


Click on "Composition", and drag the VF we created from the palette on the left onto the canvas in the middle.

Then, click on "Submit for Testing".


Click on Properties Assignments, then click on the service name, e.g. "CDS-VNF-TEST" from the right bar.

Type "sdnc" in the filter box, and add the sdnc_model_name, sdnc_model_version, and sdnc_artifact_name, and click "Save".


Type "skipcon" in the filter box, and set "skip post instantiation" to FALSE , and controller_actor to "CDS" then click "Save".

Distribute the service model once the service is certified. Login as Operator (op0001/demo123456!) and click on "Distribute".


Click on "Monitor" to check the progress of the distribution, and check that all ONAP components were notified, and downloaded the artifacts, and deployed OK.

Check SDNC distribution concerning CDS

SDNC to find CDS SDNC database should be now populated with CDS model identification.
