Scope
What is this release trying to address?
This release of OOF addresses a core ONAP requirement, which is Homing/Placement of VNFs and Services (VNF Homing Capability). Placement and allocation of resources is one of the fundamental requirements of provisioning a service over the cloud (or even non-cloud) infrastructure. OF-HAS is a policy-driven placement optimizing service (or homing service) that allows ONAP to deploy services automatically across multiple sites and multiple clouds. It enables placement based on a wide variety of policy constraints including capacity, location, platform capabilities, and other service specific requirements.
More details on HAS can be found here: Homing and Allocation Service (HAS)
Use Cases
While homing is critical to almost all use cases, we primarily focus on the Residential vCPE and VOLTE use cases. Homing would be called during the Generic Service Instantiation Flow (Generic Service.png), where the SO would call HAS for homing right after the service decomposition block. More details on how HAS provides homing for the vCPE use case (including the API interactions) can be found here: vCPE Homing Use Case.
We are currently working on defining similar requirements and workflows for the VOLTE use case. Some initial discussions on where and how homing would be integrated in the instantiation workflow can be found in the comments section here: Use Case: VoLTE(approved).
Minimum Viable Product
Describe the MVP for this release.
Functionalities
List the functionalities that this release is committing to deliver by providing a link to JIRA Epics and Stories. In the JIRA Priority field, specify the priority (either High, Medium, Low). The priority will be used in case de-scoping is required. Don't assign High priority to all functionalities.

Longer term roadmap
As the ONAP platform matures and new capabilities are introduced over time, the need for platform optimization services will grow along with it. The ONAP Optimization Framework is envisioned to handle this need as effectively as possible, by enabling creation of new optimization services with minimal or little new code development. The goal of OOF is to provide
(i) a growing set of core platform optimization services such as VNF placement and resource allocation (OOF-HAS), change management scheduling (OOF-CMSO), etc.
(ii) a framework (OOF-OSDF) that allow users to construct new optimization services and to extend/enhance existing platform optimization services.
Vision for OSDF:
OOF-OSDF is envisioned to be a collection of design time optimization libraries along with reusable runtime tools and microservices to facilitate and simplify the creation of new specific runtime optimization functionalities. The goal of OSDF is to avoid siloed optimization tools and associated duplicated efforts and overheads. For instance, the Homing Service, HAS (which is targeted for Beijing release) will not only contribute its reusable components to the framework, but also leverages the framework in its own feature development. Other potential optimization services that can be built using this framework include energy optimization in networks, optimal route selection for various network services, and radio access network (RAN) performance optimization.
Vision for HAS:
OOF-HAS, or the Homing Service is a distributed resource broker that enables automated policy-driven optimized placement of services on a global heterogeneous platform using ONAP. HAS is architected as an extensible homing service that can accommodate a growing set of homing objectives, policy constraints, data sources and placement algorithms. It is service-agnostic by design and can easily onboard new services with minimal effort. HAS is designed to be used as a building block for both initial deployment, as well as runtime redeployment due to failures or runtime-capacity increase (scale-out). While the immediate deliverable of HAS in Beijing Release is to provide optimized homing/placement of services during the service instantiation workflows in ONAP, HAS naturally extends to a general policy-driven optimizing placement platform for all platform placement functions, including placements of VMs, containers (e.g., for DCAE micro-services), ONAP Control Loops or VNF specific resources. HAS will also eventually allow placements of additional resource types such as licenses, VNF resources, etc.

ONAP Dependencies
The following are the dependencies for the project based on the scope for the Beijing Release. The required dependencies have been identified based on the current homing requirements for the vCPE use case, and the potential dependencies are tentative dependencies that may exist based on how the information required for homing (e.g., Hardware Platform Enablement, VIM attributes) is available.
