Longer term roadmap

...

ONAP Platform OOM (ONAP Operations Manager)will be used to efficiently Deploy, Manage, Operate the ONAP platform and its components (e.g. MSO, DCAE, SDC, etc.) and infrastructure (VMs, Containers). The OOM addresses the current lack of consistent platform-wide method in managing software components, their health, resiliency and other lifecycle management functions.  With OOM, service providers will have a single dashboard/UI to deploy & un-deploy the entire (or partial) ONAP platform, view the different instances being managed and the state of each component, monitor actions that have been taken as part of a control loop (e.g., scale in-out, self-heal), and trigger other control actions like capacity augments across data centers. 

The primary benefits of this approach are as follows:

• Flexible Platform Deployment - While current ONAP deployment automation enables the entire ONAP to be created, more flexibility is needed to support the dynamic nature of getting ONAP instantiated, tested and operational.  Specifically, we need the capability to repeatedly deploy, un-deploy, and make changes onto different environments (dev, system test, DevOps, production), for both platform as a whole or on an individual component basis.  To this end, we are introducing the ONAP Operations Manager with orchestration capabilities into the deployment, un-deployment and change management process associated with the platform. 
• State Management of ONAP platform components – Our initial health checking of Components and software modules are done manually and lack consistency.  We are proposing key modules/services in each ONAP Component to be able to self-register/discovered into the ONAP Operations Manager, which in turn performs regular health checks and determines the state of the Components/software.
• Platform Operations Orchestration / Control Loop Actions – Currently there is a lack of event-triggered corrective actions defined for platform components.  The ONAP Operations Manager will enable DevOps to view events and to manually trigger corrective actions.  The actions might be simple initially – stop, start or restart the platform component.  Over time, more advanced control loop automation, triggered by policy, will be built into the ONAP Operations Manager.

Proposed ONAP Operations Manager Functional Architecture:

Image Added

• UI/Dashboard – this provides DevOps users a view of the inventory, events and state of what is being managed by the ONAP Operations Manager, and the ability to manually trigger corrective actions on a component.  The users can also deploy ONAP instances, a component, or a change to a software module within a component.
• API handler – this supports NB API calls from external clients and from the UI/Dashboard
• Inventory & data store – tracks the inventory, events, health, and state of the ONAP instances and individual components
• ONAP Lifecycle Manager – this is a model-driven orchestration engine for deploying/un-deploying instances and components.  It will trigger downstream plugin actions such as instantiate VMs, create containers, stop/restart actions, etc. Target implementation should aim at TOSCA as the master information model for deploying/managing ONAP Platform components.
• SB Interface Layer – these are a collection of plugins to support actions and interactions needed by the ONAP Operations Manager to ONAP instances and other external cloud related resources – plugins may include Openstack, Docker, Kubernetes, Chef, Ansible, etc.
• Service & Configuration Registry – this function performs the registry and discovery of components/software to be managed as well as the subsequent health check on each registered component/software
• Hierarchical OOM architecture for scaling and specialization - OOM's architecture allows for a hierarchical implementation for scale as volume/load and scope of the underlying ONAP platform instance(s) increases.

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.
