Template Cut & Paste for your Use Case/Requirement)

R10 PRESENTATION:

Key Contacts - ("WHO")

Executive Summary - (Give a short description of your Use Case, the "Executive 2 min elevator pitch", this describes the "WHAT")

Business Impact - (This is the Business Impact which describes why this use case is important from a business perspective, this describes the "WHY").

Business Markets - (This is the marketing analysis, which can include but not limited to applicable markets, domains, marketing projections, this can describe the "WHERE").

Funding/Financial Impacts - (The Funding requirements and Financial impacts can describe the financial savings, or CAPEX, OPEX impacts for a Use Case).

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)

Application Service Descriptor (ASD) onboarding package IM / DM

R10 PRESENTATION:

Key Contacts  Marian Darula ,  @Nguyenphu, Thinh, Byung-Woo Jun

Executive Summary -

In today, many complex applications are consisting in a mixed, complex workload, that is described in many Kubernetes resources, e.g. to be run on a certain cluster, etc.  In order to deploy the application, the orchestration task would be requiring dealing with different abstract layers of resources, different templates system mapping, and application packaging.  Another challenge is to keep up with changes in the cloud infrastructures features enhancement mapping into abstract resource template. 

The proposal focuses on following main parts:

1. Packaging, in a single, well defined bundle, cloud applications, to enable distribution, provisioning and installation.
2. Application metadata and cloud-native tooling.

3. Leverages existing Kubernetes ecosystem and continuously growing set of extensions, plugins, and tools.

See Application Service Descriptor (ASD) and packaging Proposals for CNF for more details. 

As a part of this requirement the definition of IM and DM for ASD shall be done.

Business Impact - Unified modelling and packaging of cloud native network functions (CNFs) relying on cloud native artefacts with simple descriptor additions. It will significantly simplify modelling and packaging of CNFs.

Business Markets - All operators, service providers and application developers that are using ONAP for CNF deployment.

Funding/Financial Impacts - Due to significant simplification of modelling and packaging of CNFs there will be OPEX cost savings.

Organization Mgmt, Sales Strategies - 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)

Control Loop in TOSCA LCM Improvement

R10 PRESENTATION:

Key Contacts - Zu Qiang (Ericsson) Liam Fallon 

Executive Summary - CLAMP (Control Loop Automation Management Platform) functionalities, recently moved to Policy project , want to provide a Control Loop Lifecycle management architecture. A control Loop is a key concept for Automation and assurance Use Cases and remain a top priority for ONAP as an automation platform. This requirement wants to improve Control Loop LCM architecture focusing on an abstract CL management logic,  isolating CL logic vs ONAP component logic, providing a common CL Design time catalogue with a  generic CL definition, and elaborate API to integrate with other design systems as well as 3PP component integration. PoCs have been progressed in ONAP Rel G and H in this area, CL LCM redesign has reached a relevant viable set of features and it is ready to be moved in Rel I to mainstream as part of the Policy framework.

Business Impact - Deployment and orchestration of automation and control loop use cases across CNFs,  VNFs and PNFs in a model driven way simplifies the network management. Enables operators and service providers to manage the Life Cycle of a Network Service. Assuring continuity of operation of services is crucial for production and carrier grade environments. The actualization or upgrades of software and in consequence required changes in the service model is a natural part of service instance life cycle. Without the support of ONAP service update with schema change, service life cycle management by ONAP can be very difficult which can impact the quality and continuity of services.

Business Markets - All operators and service providers that are using ONAP for automation and assurance.

Funding/Financial Impacts - CL LCM wants to reduce operational expense  and its abstraction will provide an added value with multiple  integration points.

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)

PM Data Collection Control: Subscription update

Key Contacts - Mark Scott, Zu Qiang (Ericsson)

Executive Summary - PM data collection control provides network operators with a dynamic and more efficient way to configure performance measurement collection on a selected subset of  PNFs/VNFs in the network and complements the existing PM data collection and processing capabilities in ONAP/DCAE. An initial version has been delivered in Rel 6 then enhanced in Rel 7/Rel 8/Rel 9. Planned enhancements for Rel 10 intend to improve the (PMSH) subscription management API.

Business Impact - PM control is a critical business function because it is vital to enable the PM data collection in ONAP.

Business Markets - All operators and service providers that want to use ONAP for PM data collection.

Funding/Financial Impacts - PM data collection control can provide OPEX savings for operators due to increased automation of a critical function. 

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. 

ONAP CNF orchestration - Jakarta Enhancements

R10 PRESENTATION:

Key Contacts - Lukasz Rajewski Seshu Kumar Mudiganti

Executive Summary - Provide CNF orchestration support through the integration of K8s adapter in ONAP SO

• Support for provisioning CNFs using an external K8s Manager
• Support the Helm based orchestration
• leverage the existing functionality of Multi cloud in SO
• Bring in the advantages of the K8s orchestrator
• Set stage for the Cloud Native scenarios

Business Impact - Enables operators and service providers to orchestrate CNFs based services along with the VNFs and PNFs

Business Markets - All operators and service providers that are intended to use the CNFs along with PNFs / VNFs

Funding/Financial Impacts - Reduction in the footprint of the ONAP for CNF support

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
