SUPPORT FOR IPv4/IPv6 DUAL STACK DEPLOYMENTS IN R8 (REQ-432)

R8 PRESENTATION:

Key Contacts - Damian Nowak Martin Skorupski

Executive Summary -  Majority of LTE and 5G RAN networks today are running exclusively on IPv6. IPv4/IPv6 dual stack solution for ONAP is needed to enable integration.

There is also a requirement to register the NetConf network devices in SDN-R controller, using IPv6 networking.

The target for Honolulu is to update all ONAP components, which do not install/execute properly in IPv4/IPv6 dual stack environment.
As of today (B10/2020), the following components are affected:

• SDN-R Elastic Search module
• Portal MariaDB database
• SDC/AAI Cassandra database
• DCAE - CFY Plugin - support exposing services using IPv6
• This might not be a full, comprehensive list.
  Additionally, we`d like to make sure, that ONAP CI/Gating environment is running RKE-Kubernetes 1.18.x (at least).

Business Impact - Improves ONAP integration capabilities, mainly in 5G use-cases and E2E Network Slicing. Future-proofs ONAP for years to come. Allows to use AKS/EKS/GKS (* managed Kubernetes Service) to deploy ONAP in public clouds.

Business Markets - All operators, service providers and entities using ONAP.  

Funding/Financial Impacts - None. RKE is already supporting K8S 1.18 as one of recommended K8S solutions, thus no additional costs here.

Organization Mgmt, Sales Strategies - There is no additional organizational management or sales strategies for this requirement outside of a service providers "normal" ONAP deployment and its attendant organizational resources from a service provider

CONTINUATION OF PACKAGES UPGRADES IN DIRECT DEPENDENCIES (REQ-XXX)

Key Contacts - Pawel Pawlak Amy Zwarico

Executive Summary -  All ONAP projects shall continue their efforts to reduce the risks associated with software vulnerabilities in the ONAP code base by upgrading all outdated, vulnerable direct dependencies in their code bases following the recommendations of SECCOM. The project and repo specific recommendations are provided in the Security Vulnerability space for Honolulu release.

Business Impact - Improves the security posture of ONAP. 

Business Markets - All operators and service providers can leverage the of fewer vulnerabilities in the open source dependencies in ONAP

Funding/Financial Impacts - N/A

Organization Mgmt, Sales Strategies -There is no additional organizational management or sales strategies for this requirement outside of a service providers "normal" ONAP deployment and its attendant organizational resources from a service provider.
