5. FAQ

Q: What is the value-add of ONAP for CNF orchestration (CNFO)? What does it provide on top of K8S?

A:

  • hybrid config and data operations can work on both K8s and PNFs 
  • Can manage helm charts
  • Handling multi-cluster deployment on top of K8S
  • ONAP works in the service level, not just the resource level 
  • Still need to address coordination across different clusters and SW upgrades

Q: What can end users do with ONAP Honolulu? What operations are supported (service design? Deployment? Day-0 configuration? Day 1/2 configuration? LCM?), and what will be supported in Istanbul?

A:

  • For the "native helm" path - on-boarding, Helm enrichment with CDS, meaning modifying values in Helm templates.
  • Day 2 operation config-assign/config-deploy - add/modify resources after the initial deployment, which may be used for upgrade.
  • CNF status checking is supported in Honolulu, will be enhanced in Istanbul.
  • SO merged the "native helm" and "ETSI" paths for a more 'Plug&Play'

Q: What is the format of CNF packaging? Is it based on Helm? Does it follow ETSI-NFV specifications?

A: 

  • packaging - SOL04 may need a bit of work still. Descriptors are still being discussed in ETSI about containerized models. Lots of discussion but no consensus yet.  Orchestration meetings on Mondays 8am Eastern
  • Packaging is based on the CSAR format (for both the 'helm native' and 'ETSI' Format
  • CNF Descriptor Proposal page:  https://wiki.onap.org/x/VwsqBg 
  • Magma CNF onboarding is following similar path than what we have implemented for CNF vFW

Q: Where is the documentation for CNF on-boarding and deployment? 

A:

Q: How should end users report issues 

A:

Q: Are there "CNF requirements" available in ONAP, similar to the "VNF Requirements"?

A:

Q: How could developers get involved? Where do you mostly need help? Are there open Jira tickets people can start working on?

A:

  • Call for developers to implement in Jakarta new features:
    • CNF Control Loop 
    • Integration with XGVela
    • Merging Native Helm/ETSI flows
    • Entreprise use cases
    • etc
  • Istanbul CNF Orchestrator Requirements:  Image AddedREQ-627 - ONAP CNF orchestration - Istanbul Enhancements DONE
  • Those are the short term goals. Have a great deal more in the backlog for future released. refer to 2021-06-09 - ONAP TSC Taskforce: Cloud Native (Roadmap)

Q: What it is not supported today and is part of the roadmap?

A:

Q: What do we need to ask to CNF Vendors to be onboarded on the ONAP Platform?

A:

Q: What has changed in CNF packaging since Frankfurt?

A:

  • In Frankfurt, the Helm chart was a 'second class citizen' in SDC. In Honolulu there is native support for Helm charts. SO understands Helm type now.

Q: Is there a plan to support NETCONF configuration, or will the solution be limited to CDS CBAs? Is there alignment with C&PS?

A:

  • No integration with C&PS, but it may happen at a later stage. But this is a good approach and may be discussed further in the CNF Taskforce.

Q: Does the CNF Orchestration support only Openstack VF-Module?

A: 

  • VF Module is the design aspect of the SDC, we represent each helm with a VFM. The current processing is per VFM for CNF as it is with the other resources

Role of ONAP

Role of ONAP (which is a central automation platform) across multiple Clouds & Edges.

  1. Distributed Applications: Telco world is known to have requirement to support ‘network services’ whose components (VNFs today) spread across multiple computing regions (Openstack based regions).  Hence, the need for central orchestrator that orchestrates various VNFs of the network service in multiple openstack based computing regions.  With edge-computing,  even normal applications are becoming distributed, where a few microservices of the application are deployed across multiple edges & a few in network edges and public clouds. Essentially, applications are becoming more like network services.
  2. Convergence of applications and network functions due to Edges : Edge world can’t afford to have two computing environments – One for normal applications and another one for network functions. This is due to resource constraints. Since many edge-computing efforts in Industry adopted K8s, it is natural to think about supporting network functions and use same K8s cluster for both. It appears that a few MEC applications even require some network functions to be deployed along with them (Example include MEC applications with network security functions).
  3. Network function deployments and life cycle management are more complex than the applications due to need for supporting multiple interfaces, provider networks,  service function chaining. ONAP is solving many of these challenges.
  4. Support for Multiple Cloud technologies :  Supporting legacy Openstack deployments with greenfield  K8s deployments are needed.  ONAP solves these multi-cloud challenges.
  5. Support for Telco infrastructure such as OSS/BSS – ONAP is already in the path to support various MEF standards on its north side to support standardization between OSS/BSS and Orchestrators.
  6. Support for monitoring of distributed applications and closed loops :  Monitoring distributed applications that are deployed across multiple edges/clouds is complex.  There is need for showing the comprehensive status at the application level instead of at each resource level.  ONAP monitors the services/distributed-apps and not only provides simpler view of the status, but also can run through various analytics engines and even act on the actionable insights.

Note:  ONAP4K8s is a profile of ONAP for Enterprise/IOT (Including Private-5G/LTE)  market that have requirement of deploying CNFs/VNFs along with normal applications in multiple K8s based clusters.

In addition, we believe that ONAP can provide additional values as follows:

#1 NF Control Loop

#2 NF Common Inventory

#3 NF Data collection and analytics

#4 Support of PNFs

#5 Cover the design of services as well as the orchestration of services, design of control loops

#6 Play a role in terms of standardizations (TMForum, ETSI ZSM, MEC etc.) through our ONAP Technical Coordinators

To recap, we can provide significant automation values to handle applications on top of the K8S environment.

Areas of Focus

#1 ONAP 'Light" Weight - Review our current ONAP projects (see Lifecycle review led by Jason/Chaker)

#2 ONAP4K8S, Containerization 

#3 Identify ONAP Requirements +  to support CNFs for Guilin

#4 E2E Integration (OVP)

#5 VNFREQS => CNFSREQS - Certification CNF requirements - need to align with the ONAP Architcture + ONAP SECCOM regarding Cloud Native.

As on-the-ground microservice practitioners are quickly realizing, the majority of operational problems that arise when moving to a distributed architecture are ultimately grounded in two areas: networking and observability. It is simply an orders of magnitude larger problem to network and debug a set of intertwined distributed services versus a single monolithic application.

Integration with Promotheus and Grafana technologies (UI) as POC by AT&T

-Check the CNF Conformance to understand what are the requirements

-Shall we integrate one of the open sources to DCAE (like we did with PNDA) or shall we create DCAE CNCF version?

Meeting Notes

Previous Meeting Notes

Srinivasa Addepalli
As part of ONAP4K8s, we have done some work in R4 and we are working ìDistributed Application Orchestrationî in R6.  
In R4, we showcased deploying CNFs & VNFs (firewall use case)  and normal applications on the same cluster from ONAP.  
Also,  Akraino ICN project is bundling ONAP4K8s. 
Glad to see wider interest in deploying CNFs from ONAP in remote K8s clusters.  

Linked to the edge computing, K8S deployment/containerization, 5G - discussion under architecture team is ongoing
Prototype under Multicloud project- develop some plug-ins to prove network functions/containerization

What type of orchestrator changes do we need?

Ranny Haiby
#1 Define benefits of ONAP for CNFs - what are we trying to solve with CNFs?
 i.e. Control Loops, Provisioning/Modeling, etc
#2 Scalability/Reliability - deep dive to be truly K8S oriented

Ciaran Johnston
Do we want to be truly Cloud Native? yes but it requires baby steps stating with Cloud native development principles 
How can we enable as part of our development practices
   i.e. DevOps approach - mS 
   The second approach is the preference

Strategy is to demonstrate how ONAP could be "complementary" to other open source initiatives.

Seshu Kumar Mudiganti
#1 Discussion of two steps 
1∞ Identify ONAP components (MVP) to support CNFs
2∞ Transform other components (still maintained) to support also K8S deployment
#2 Is there any other solution than K8S (i.e. Red Hat Openshift?)
https://blog.openshift.com/whats-the-difference-between-openshift-and-kubernetes/

#1 Understand the K8S Roadmap to understand what are the incoming features in the future
   so we can identify where ONAP can play a role and then define 'ONAP Lite'
#2 Follow-up with Sylvain (CNCF TCC Lead)

Alla Goldner
Suggestion to create 3 blueprints
#1 ONAP lite (just CNFs)
#2 ONAP hybrid (supporting all - as a transition period or will remain later to support PNFs at least)
#3 ONAP All (VNFs, PNFs, CNFs)
=> Key word: we should be able to deploy the ONAP/ONAP lite components that carrier/vendor just need

#1 for certificates, we use "cert-manager", used by everybody but us. It can deliver PEM in standard but also JKS and PKCS12 format in experimental (https://cert-manager.io/docs/release-notes/release-notes-0.14/#experimental-bundle-format-support-jks-and-pkcs-12)

#2 for "RBAC", let's put hard work on the two components "using" it -- DMaaP and Portal.  In order to move to keycloak, which is compatible with ISTIO but can live without it. Keycload is a OpenID implementation meaning it's using standard stuff

New Schedule? 1h before TSC meeting except when we will change the clocks => 1pm UTC every Thursday

#1 Alignment on Cloud Native Definition

- Presentation for Cloud Native definition
Why don’t we just reference CNCF ?
• Feeling that it was not understood/completed the same way by carriers and 3rd parties
• Remove ‘aligned with CNCF/TUG…’ as duplication
Containers are ‘one way’ of doing cloud native – is it too specific ?
• CNCF made a decision to be not specific.
• Should ONAP be more specific and have a common understanding from all parties
As a vendor, I prefer having a single source for cloud native requirements ?
• We’re not defining new requirements – this is a set of definition over the very broad set of what CNCF has proposed
Target is to define what ONAP understand from these CNCF requirements
We do not agree on what CNF means ?
• CNF in ONAP means Container Network Function : one application of that is Cloud Native use case
Agree on the purpose of these principles
• Build a common understanding
• CNCF cloud native principles are very generic
o CNCF say things are immutable even if configuration changes
But CNF this is not true, Container configuration changes has impact
o Applications don’t have to be aware of networking
 -In Our case ONAP , CNF are dealing with Network so this principle does not apply
Bring added value
Maybe we should rebrand : CNF expectations from ONAP community
Or identify Gaps that ONAP should fill up ?

- Do we need to define CNF requirements ? like we do VNF reqs but where do we define them ?
o CNCF TUG is defining that to some extend
- Why is there multiple definition for CNF ?

Ranny Haiby - I have added a slide describing the two types of CNFs - 'containerized' and 'Cloud Native':

Cloud Native Definition_TF_With_Containerized.pptx

#2 CNF Guilin Requirements:

  • ETSI CNF (Fred/Byung)
  • CNF Orchestration (Seshu, Lukasz, Srini) including K8S plug-in - starting point
    • cFW (from Intel POC)
    • any CNF 5G Core - not yet any open source CNF available in this area except "free5GC" from Akraino
    • open for other proposal (Ranny?) (smile)
  • Productization of CNF Onboarding (Sylvain) 
    • extract from OOM/Integration/Security requirements
    • monitor the status of CNF instantiation

May 21st, 2020 at 1pm UTC

  • Any feedback regarding the slide added by Ranny Haiby  
    •   (Fernando Oliveira ) :  What is the letter CN is intended in this task force (Cloud native vs Container Network functions) 
      • (  Ranny Haiby ) Task force could look at both the approaches and find it as a place to support both
      • ( Chaker Al-Hakim  We can start from Container N/w and then add the other aspect as we move forward, LF Edge is also trying to define the CNCF too.
      • Better to get the alignment at the LFN level to have the common terminology across board
      • (Seshu Kumar Mudiganti ) ONAP itself is currently deployed as a (semi) CNF over OOM platform using the K8s
  • Aarna Network is pitched in to provide a helping hand in the (R7) Guilin  Release to support the effort (Amar Kapadia)
  • Ranny Haiby : Victor would be coming up withe helm charts that could be refereed to by the June event. 
  • CNF Orchestration (Seshu) updates   Seshu Kumar Mudiganti
