Use Case Overview & Description
Note: 'Support for Vertical IndustryIntent Framework and Intent Modeling' might be viewed as Honolulu POC (TSC 2020-11-05 ).
...
This requirement propose to enhance ONAP with an general-purpose intent framework, which may contains intent translation, intent execution and intent decision and execution etc. We would like to provide more POCs around it, and propose to be one of ONAP component or sub-component in the future. In R8, the requirement will provide the internal reference architecture and interacting with other ONAP components, and also introduce intent modeling for specific use cases, such as intelligent radio capacity optimization and intelligent slicing management.
Introduction to Intent Framework
Intent framework is a system that helps to implement and operate networks that can improve network availability and agility. It takes a high-level business goal (intent) as input, converts it to the necessary network configurations and applies the network changes via network automation and/or network orchestration. Continuously monitoring the status of the network under control, the system validates in real time that the intent is being met, and can take corrective actions when desired intent is not met.
It may contain It contains following functional blocks (to be discussed in Honolulu release):
- Intent UI ( Covred in ONAP UUI by
)Jira server ONAP JIRA serverId 425b2b0a-557c-3c0c-b515-579789cceedb key REQ-453 - Intent Management
- Intent Translation
- Intent Decision and Execution Intent Database
- Management:
- Providing NBI for consumers, including intent schema and instance management in a general way
- Intent Translation:
- Translate high-level of abstraction to a more concrete form in order to be validated and processed.
- The system takes a higher-level business goal (what) as input from end users and converts it to the necessary network configuration or orchestration request (how).
- Intent Decision and Execution:
- Decide which, if any, candidate solution shall be executed in response to a request by another managed entity for a set of governance actions.
- Execute one of translated intent solution by sending request to other component, such as SO, CDS, Policy, or external low-level intent system (intent framework).
- Intent Database:
- Store intent schema, intent instance and intent knowledge

BUSINESS DRIVER
This section describes Business Drivers needs. These business drivers are presented on the Requirements Sub-committee and should also be put into the release requirements sub-committee page.
...
Organization Mgmt, Sales Strategies - (It is suggested that you use the following wording): There is no additional organizational management or sales strategies for this use case outside of a service providers "normal" ONAP deployment and its attendant organizational resources from a service provider. (This would typically describe the "WHO", but because use cases are all deployed with ONAP itself, these two areas come with the actual ONAP deployment and uses the organizational management and sales strategies of a particular service provider's ONAP deployment)
