Project Name:

• Proposed name for the project: Image Manager

...

Image Manager provides a reliable, logically centralized image, user-friendly image management for ONAP at both the design time and run time. The managed objects include VM images, Docker images and software packages. By using image manager, ONAP users can upload images to ONAP system, manage images via Image Manager portal and distribute images to target VIMs on demand.

...

Currently, If an image needs to be uploaded to multiple VIMs, it has to be done separately and manually via the VIM portals, which is inefficient(imagine there might be thousands of edge clouds). Image manager addresses this issue by providing a centralized view and the images can be distributed to multiple VIMs via the Image Manager portal, which is is much more efficient.

Scope:

• Provide logically centralized management for images used by ONAP system, which includes VM image, Docker image, and application package.
• Provide APIs to upload images to ONAP system.
• Provide APIs to access the image catalog and image information in ONAP system.
• Provide a UI portal in which the ONAP user can upload/update/delete/distribute images.
