1. Model the basic HPA requirements with TOSCA capability types. VDUs will have requirements of these capability types. These HPA requirements will never be satisfied within the VNF and Service models, the orchestrator will do that in run-time
2. Abstain from using tosca.capability.Compute as it does not fully match the requirements
3. Define special ONAP capability types, separate for each of these categories: CPU, Memory, Storage, I/O, networking. These capability types express the most basic hardware characteristics. They also should be simple, flat bags of strictly named properties, all properties of primitive data types with clear restrictions.
4. Derive from the basic capability types an additional level of capabilities, with advanced (HPA) details. As detailed as they seem, these capabilities are still generic, with strict definitions of properties that are shared by the major hardware vendors. In addition to the strictly-typed properties, the HPA-level capabilities will also have a json-formatted property in order to allow for even greater customization flexibility.
5. Allow for further customization of the HPA-level capabilities into vendor-specific capabilities. These vendor-specific customized capabilities capability types may extend their HPA-level generic base by adding new properties and providing new constraints for the existing properties. In addition to the refinement of the strictly defined properties, the vendor-specific capabilities may provide their own validation schema for the json-formatted "flexible" property.
