Introduction:
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 page is under construction, until it's finalised please check prel. information at: Application Service Descriptor (ASD) and packaging Proposals for CNF - Developer Wiki - Confluence (onap.org)
In this page we will define ASD onboarding detailed information.
Application Service Descriptor (ASD) Information Element (top level)
Attribute | Qualifier | # | Type | Description |
asdId | M | 1 | Identifier | Identifier of this ASD information element. This attribute shall be globally unique. The format will be defined in the data model specification phase. |
asdSchemaVersion | M | 1 | Version | Specifies the version of the ASD’s schema (if we modify an ASD field definition, add/remove field definitions, etc.). |
asdProvider | M | 1 | String | Provider of the AS and of the ASD. |
asdApplicationName | M | 1 | String | Name to identify the Application Service. Invariant for the AS lifetime. |
asdApplicationVersion | M | 1 | Version | Specifies the version of the Application (so, if software, DeploymentArtifacts , ASD values, ... change, this changes). |
asdApplicationInfoName | M | 0..1 | String | Human readable name for the Application service. Can change during the AS lifetime. |
asdInfoDescription | M | 0..1 | String | Human readable description of the AS. Can change during the AS lifetime. |
asdExtCpd | M | 0..N | datatype.ExtCpd | Describes the externally exposed connection points of the application. |
enhancedClusterCapabilities | M | 0..1 | datatype. enhancedClusterCapabilities | A list of expected capabilities of the target Kubernetes cluster to aid placement of the application service on a suitable cluster. |
deploymentItems | M | 1..N | DeploymentItem | Deployment artifacts |
