==============================

Future

Continue review of the requirements for Frankfurt Release

Continue discussion on Application Configuration for ETSI MANO VNFs.

CDS directly to SOL003 instead of APP-C?

Future topics:

  1. Discussion on whether ETSI NFV VNF SOL003 should be a Controller or Adapter.  ONAP_GNF_ControllersSOL003.pptx
  2. Should VNF deploy/scale  (LCM actions)  be GNFC actions?
  3. How would this apply to containers?
  4. Please add any topics that you think should be included.

Assumptions:

  1. Operator has already deployed ETSI SOL003 compliant VNF Manager(s)
  2. Operator has already deployed ETSI SOL005 compliant NFVO(s)
  3. Operator has existing Service Assurance tools that VNF(s) interact with
  4. Operator is currently using proprietary mechanisms to configure NFs
  5. Operator has used above mechanisms to deploy SOL001/SOL004 compliant VNFs
  6. Operator has multiple VIMs; with different HW capabilities and configurations
  7. Operator desires to integrate ONAP into the existing environment

Objectives

  • Examine orchestration scenarios in order to determine if new architectural requirements are necessary
  • Develop recommendations for composition of the ONAP Service DM (How does the ETSI NFV SOL001 Network Service Descriptor supported?)
  • Develop recommendations for interfaces between the orchestration elements (OSS, SO, VF-C, VNFM, NFVO)
  • Develop recommendations for how ONAP controllers work with external orchestration elements (NFVO, VNFM, EMS)
  • Develop recommendations for how external Service Assurance interacts with DCAE and Policy
  • Develop recommendations on breaking ONAP into more modular consumable pieces (Margaret)

To Do's

  • Recommendation on whether an ONAP should support an E2E Service  that is composed of xNFs that are orchestrated by separate orchestrators (SO,  SO + external VNFM, VF-C, external NFVO) for next Arch meeting (Nov 13)
  •  Mapping of SOL005 APIs to ONAP NBI
  • Develop scenarios with stories about how ONAP could be used in near term brownfield  legacy environment Fernando Oliveira
  • Develop scenarios with stories about how a legacy environment could migrate off of a brownfield legacy environment towards a ONAP native model Fernando Oliveira
  • Describe how ONAP DCAE could be integrated with legacy Service Assurance platform Fernando Oliveira
  • Describe how legacy inventory system would interact with ONAP A&AI
  • Develop scenarios for how Application Configuration could be supported with enhanced SOL001 VNF-D using an external SOL003 compliant VNF Manager Fernando Oliveira 

Scope

GeneralDublinFrankfurtGuilin












Implications/Requirements

  1. External VNFM scenarios (ONAP acting as an OSS/NFVO):
    ONAP-SOL003-VNFM
    1. ONAP needs to ingest and save (without modification) a SOL004 CSAR package for later consumption by a SOL003 compliant VNF Manager (VNFSDK, SDC)
      1.  Original CSAR contents need to be preserved since some VNF Managers validate the manifest signatures of each file in the CSAR
    2. ONAP needs to ingest and interpret a SOL001 compliant VNF Descriptor in order to design an ONAP Service (VNFSDK, SDC)
    3. ONAP needs to understand resource requirements in the VNF-D for each deployment and scaling level (SO, A&AI, OOF)
      1. ONAP needs a way to ingest or create a VIM tenant/project space (SO, SOL003 Adapter, Multi-Cloud/VIM)
      2. ONAP needs to inventory  the VIM tenant/project resources and capacity (A&AI, Multi-Cloud/VIM)
      3. ONAP needs to confirm that the VIM resources (vCPU, RAM, Storage, Network, EPA (SR-IOV, GPU, Pinnned CPU, Locked RAM, ..), ...) necessary for the deployment or scale operation are available (SO, A&AI, OOF)
      4. Such resources should be reserved if the VIM has that capability (OOF, Multi-Cloud)
    4. ONAP needs to have a SOL003 compliant SBI (SOL003 Adapter, APP-C, VF-C, GNF-C, SO))
    5. ONAP needs a mechanism for specifying that a VNF instance should be runtime managed by a particular VNFM type (design time)  and instance (run time) (SDC, OOF, SO)
      1. This likely also applies to other external controllers
    6. ONAP needs to have a way to inventory a VNF that was deployed using an external VNFM and which instance of the VNFM (A&AI, SO, SOL003 Adapter, VF-C) 
  2.  External NFVO scenarios (ONAP acting as an OSS or hierarchical Service Orchestrator):
    1. ONAP needs to ingest and save (without modification) a SOL004 CSAR package for later consumption by a SOL005 compliant NFVO (VNFSDK, SDC)
    2. ONAP needs to ingest and interpret a SOL001 compliant VNF Descriptor in order to design an ONAP Service (VNFSDK, SDC)
    3. ONAP needs to have an SBI that can be used to manage external Service(s) (SO, SOL005 Adapter)
      1. ETSI NFV MANO SOL005 Os-Ma-nfvo interface
        1. ONAP needs to be able to convert an ONAP Service into a SOL001 compliant Network Service Descriptor (SOL005 Adapter)
      2. VF-C "internal SOL005" interface
      3. ONAP Service NBI
      4. Open Source Mano (OSM) NBI
    4. ONAP needs a mechanism for specifying that a service should be runtime managed by an external NFVO (SDC, SO, A&AI)
    5. ONAP needs to have a way to inventory a Service that was deployed and managed by an external Service Orchestrator (A&AI, SO, SOL005 Adapter)
    6. ONAP needs a way to ingest and save (without modification) a SOL007 Network Service Package) (VNFSDK, SDC)
    7. ONAP needs to ingest and interpret a SOL001 compliant Network Service Descriptor (SDC, SO)
      1. Possibly translating it into an ONAP Service
    8. ONAP needs to be able to design a hierarchical Service that references zero or more VNFs along with one or more "sub-services" (Alloted Resources??) (SDC, SO)
  3. VNF Application Configuration over SOL003 ModifyVnfInfo interface using an External vendor specific VNF Manager
    1. ONAP needs to ingest and interpret a SOL001 compliant VNF Descriptor that includes ConfigurableProperties (VNFSDK, SDC)
    2. ONAP needs to present these ConfigurableProperties in the design of an ONAP Service (SDC)
    3. Upon Service deployment, ONAP needs to pass the application ConfigurableProperties along with the related values to the external VNFM that was used to deploy the VNF using the SOL003 ModifyVnfInfo interface (SO, APP-C, SOL003 Adapter)
    4. As part of a Change Management operation, ONAP needs to pass the updated ConfigurableProperties and new values to the  external VNFM that was used to deploy the VNF using the SOL003 ModifyVnfInfo interface (SO, APP-C, SOL003 Adapter)
    5. As part of an ONAP recovery operation, ONAP needs to query the VNF to get the current state and values of the ConfigurableProperties using the external VNFM that was used to deploy the VNF using the SOL003 Query interface (SO, APP-C, SOL003 Adapter)

Meeting Notes and Recordings

DateNotesRecording

  1. Move Meeting time one hour Earlier
None
August 19, 2019
  1. Need coordination between API Fabric work and the ONAP SOL005 NBI Adapter
  2. Need to add APP-C block into the ETSI diagram
  3. Need follow-up on how the SOL003 LCN and Indicator interfaces flow through the SOL003 Adapter
    1. May need to bring detail the GNF-C flows and how that would replace the direct SOL003 Adapter interface from SO
  4. For package security, the SDC will validate the vendor package.  The original package will be saved in the ONAP ETSI catalog and passed to the any external VNFM, VF-C or external NFVO which may also do validate the package independently
  5. Frankfurt scope table added with initial scope proposal
August 26, 2019
  1. Discussion on the ETSI Alignment Architecture, ETSI Alignment Support, and scope for Frankfurt
    1. Went over the meeting topics for the next meetings, as scope discussions
    2. For now, SOL007 package onboarding is out of scope
    3. Use of GNFC for ETSI Alignment is under discussion, most likely out of scope
    4. Verizon will go over the SOL005 Adapter architecture, design and use cases at the next meeting 
    5. CMCC will go over the ONAP-ETSI Catalog Manager at the next meeting
    6. Samsung will present the SOL002 Adapter use cases and design soon
    7. It would be possible that VNFs are not compliant. For that, Connections between the DCAE and VNF through the SOL003 Adapter need to be enhanced. We may need another component which can translate SOL002/SOL003 APIs to VES event. Will discuss it further.
  2. No meeting next Monday due to US and India holidays
September 9, 2019
  1. Verizon presented the SOL005 Adapter architecture and use cases
    1. SOL005 Adapter architecture refactoring was discussed (decouple it from the current SO VFC adapter architecturally)
    2. NS Package handling was discussed.
      1. Support of SOL007 (NS package) was discussed.
      2. Thinh suggested to use SOL007 for NS Package, and SDC PTL will be contacted for SDC SOL007 support in Frankfurt
  2. Samsung presented the SOL002 Adapter use cases
  3. Next week, the team will discuss HPA, HPA-based Granting, VNF-Level Homing, CMCC ONAP-ETSI Catalog Management
September 16, 2019
  1. SOL007 is proposed for NS packages.
    1. SDC needs to be enhanced to handle SOL007 package onboarding and distribution
    2. it would be similar to SOL004 package onboarding and distribution
    3. Some impacts on SO and VFC are discussed
    4. Editing vendor NSDs at SDC was raised. Do we allow this editing and how to distribute the enhanced vendor NSDs?
  2. SOL004 is used for VNF and PNF packages.
    1. SDC already supports SOL004 package onboarding and distribution
    2. Editing vendor VNFD/PNFD at SDC was raised. Do we allow this editing and how to distribute the enhanced vendor VNFDs/PNFDs?
  3. Package Security was discussed
    1. ONAP will handle vendor package security (signature and certificate); SDC does not generate its own signature and certificate for SDC AID DM
    2. This issue will be discussed separately in a future meeting
  4. ONAP-ETSI Catalog Manager use cases and design were presented
    1. SO will invoke the Catalog Manager APIs to initiate NS, VNF and PNF packages by sending the csar id.
    2. The Catalog Manager will get the package files from SDC
    3. The Catalog Manager provides package management APIs for the SOL003/SOL005 Adapters
  5. Samsung presented SOL002 Adapter use cases
  6. HPA and Granting
    1. To centralize HPA, all the granting and allocation decisions should go through OOF
    2. Currently, OOF supports service-level homing request APIs, 
    3. For bottom-up VNF requests (e.g., close loop, scaling/healing requests that are initiated by VNF), the vnf-level homing request APIs should be supported since those requests do not have service association. 
    4. OOF internal graph might need to be enhanced to support reverse search from the VNF.
    5. Use cases were presented to the OOF team, and we will discuss more off-line

  1. Is the scope also includes Network Services provided using multiple administrative domains? (ETSI IFA 028 Section 6) : two constituent nested NSs which build up the composite NS are offered by administrative domains different than the one offering the composite NS itself. A new Or-Or reference point is expected to enable this (between two NFVOs). Is it right to assume that Or-Or is realized at the VFC level ? Few additional requirements captured in Section 6.3 (IFA 028) 

    • Enhancements for the maintenance of the session between NFVOs in different administrative domains are required
    • The NFVO need to play the role of MANO Monitor as described in ETSI GR NFV-IFA 021
    • For the logical interconnection of domains, discovery mechanisms (as presented in ETSI GR NFV-IFA 021) can be required for auto-discovery of NFVOs of the different administrative domains.
    • Support for SLPOC (Single Logical Point of Contact) and MLPOC (Multiple Logical Point of Contact) at NFVO level (Section 5.2.1) for supporting NFVIaaS scenarios. 
    1. Manoj,

      I would expect that yes the scope would include NS provided by multiple administrative domains but I hadn't considered using the Or-Or interface.  I expect that ONAP should be able to interface with multiple NFVO using the Os-Ma-nfvo (SOL005) interface.  I would expect to treat VF-C as one of those NFVO and perhaps have the rest of ONAP interface with VF-C over the Os-Ma-nfvo interface.

  2. Thanks for walking us through the "VZDeploymentOptionLegacy.pptx" presentation. I think it would be useful to add a "motivation" section to each scenario, stating what is the desired goals of using ONAP. Having the goals in front of us while discussing the scenarios will help focus and ensure the deliverd solution addresses the needs.

    Based on what I heard so far, here is what my understanding is:

    Scenario #1: The goal is to design and deploy a composite service, consisting of multi vendor VNFs, in an automated and repeatable way.

    Scenario #2: Have ONAP perform resource orchestration for a scale out use case, handling things like optimal palcement, resource reservation and resource request granting based on well defined policies.

    Scenario #3:  Here I am not sure what the desired goal is. Is it performing orchestration using existing orchestration tiers? I am not sure I understand the motivation for this. Would appreciate some more details.

    1. Hi Ranny,  I agree that it would be good to have well defined goals for each of the scenarios.  Some clarifications below.

      Scenario #1: Design and deploy a composite service consisting of multiple vendor VNFs in an automated and repeatable way leveraging vendor provided SOL003 compliant VNF Manager(s) and out of band application configuration.  (Legacy approach)

      Scenario #2: Leverage ONAP policy platform and resource orchestration for a scale out use case leveraging vendor provided SOL003 compliant VNF Manager(s), handling things like optimal placement, resource reservation and resource request granting based on well defined policies.

      Scenario #3: Leverage ONAP VNF onboarding and Service Design capabilities to develop a composite service that can be instantiated and managed by an existing SOL005 compliant orchestrator. (ONAP acting as an OSS)

  3. Hi Fred,

    It would be fantastic if configuration orchestration scenarios and possible solutions are also discussed in this task force.

    Srini


    1. Hi Srini,

      Yes, application configuration scenarios are on my list.  We are using a non standard method today but we have a couple of proposals that we have been pushing with ETSI that I think would be applicable. I will prepare such a scenario description for Dec 10 meeting.

      Another topic on my list is how to incorporate Events, KPI and Policy suggestions into the VNF Descriptor and the NS Descriptor.  The VES model seems to support a lot of what I need but it is OOB and not supported by many of our VNFs.  This is needed to support some of the  5G NF especially with delegation of some of the policy HELM/K8S.

      Regards,

      Fred

  4. Hi Fernando Oliveira / All,

    I'm referring to Implications/Requirements section in my following query.

    Isn't 1b, 1c & 1f already happening in ONAP today ? Why does it have to be different for external VNFM scenarios via SOL 003?

    • More specifically, do you expect that AAI should treat the VNFs hosted by S-VNFM & SO ( heat ) differently? If so, why is that? If not, then why do we state this point explicitly here?

    On 2d

    • When you term ONAP should have SOL 005 SBI, I believe you are referring to SO should have SOL 005 SBI - Pls confirm

    On 2e & 2f

    • Same question as of 1f . Why do you think ONAP should distinguish between service managed by internal NFV-O and external NFV-O, given that SO will act as anchor point of SOL 005 and all the service instantiations originating from SO will have an entry in AAI automatically?
    • More specifically - the whole idea of API based interaction is pure plug & play and the introduction of standards will further enhance transparency in datamodels. So if the interface between SO and VF-C ( internal NFV-O for example ) is SOL 005 and if the interface between SO and external NFV-O ( OSM for example ) is still SOL 005, why does ONAP has to care to distinguish between these two ? Isn't it sufficient for ONAP to know that there is a service that is getting orchestrated via SO ?
    1. HI Viswa,

      • 1b: Yes, I think that ingestion is already being happening but not sure if the VNF-D is preserved such that it can be provided to the VNFM.
      • 1c: From what I understand ONAP isn't actually tracking the availability of cloud resources to the level that ETSI expects in response to a "Grant" request. OOF and A&AI may need to be enhanced in order maintain this inventory or query the VIM in real-time to get the information.
      • 1f: I think that there may need to be additional info saved such that the VNFM instance that was used to deploy the VNF will be used for subsequent LCM operations.  I expect that this will be different than what is being saved for VNFs launched directly by SO using Heat
      • 2d: In this context, I am treating ONAP as a black box, but yes, I expect that SO would leverage an SOL005 SBI adapter to interface with an external (and perhaps an internal)  NFVO.  I think that it would be a good idea if the interface to VF-C was the same as the interface to an external NFVO.
      • 2e:  I think that ONAP needs an indicator that distinguishes a Service that is managed directly by SO and a Service that is delegated to an internal or external NFVO.  I expect that service delegated to an internal or external NFVO will be treated differently than a service that is handled directly by SO.
      • 2f: Same reasoning as 1f; The same NFVO needs to be used for subsequent LCM on the delegated service so information needs to be maintained about which NFVO was used.
    2. Another way to understand 2e and 2f is to separate current reality from future goals. Indeed, it is best if in the future, ONAP will be able to orchestrate any service through any combination of NFVO and VNFM, external or internal. In current reality, certain VNFs have some extensions in their VNFD that can only be handled by a certain VNFM, and some services are designed to leverage specific functionality of an NFVO (internal or external). ONAP has to have a way to specify which NFVO and VNFM should be used. In the future, ONAP may include mechanisms to identify the needs of VNFs and services and determine automatically the optimal orchestration. However this does not sound feasible for the short term.

  5. Thank you Ranny HaibyFernando Oliveira . I agree partly, but I still have following queries.

    • I agree & acknowledge that atleast for a foreseeable future, we would need a way to specify the VNFM / NFVO as part of "Design Decision", which I believe can be reflected as part of VNFD/NSD ( using some special attribute ) or as part of internal Model that SDC might build before distributing the same. SO can then use this hint to select relevant actors. My only question is, why this has to be maintained in AAI which is exclusively for runtime record? All AAI cares about is what is running in the network irrespective of how that got orchestrated. Isn't it ?

    On a broader note, I would like to understand what's the original intent of AAI ( atleast in ECOMP world ) ? Are we simply assuming that, just because AAI has "available inventory" in its name, we are expecting it to keep track of cloud inventory realtime ? Because our entire story ( including the new G-FPS proposal ) is based on this assumption. Can anyone from AAI team or ATT clarify on this ?

    Because AFAIK, AAI neither has the schema to host such available inventory, nor the MC has the pub/sub or polling mechanism ( today ) to refresh the cloud inventory inplace. Ofcourse those can be scoped for further releases, but my original question is, was that the original intent behind AAI or are we now including it in the scope?

  6. For the first question: I think that A&AI needs to maintain the VNF instance ↔ VNFM instance and the NS instance ↔ NFVO instance relationship for subsequent life cycle operations, i.e. a scale or heal operation.  The path would be something like Event (VNF Instance, Busy)  → DCAE (policy for VNF instance) → Policy Evaluation (VNF instance, Scale-out)  → SO (VNF instance, Scale-out) → A&AI (find VNFM instance for the VNF instance) → SO (VNF instance, VNFM instance, Scale-out) → SOL003 Adapter (VNFM instance, VNF instance, Scale-out) → VNFM instance (VNF Instance, Scale-out).

    I don't have the background to comment on the other questions.

    1. I can see what you telling here. Basically you are looking for something like a NetworkServiceRecord ( NSR ) ( trying to apply my openbaton learnings ) and you want one of the property to hold the corresponding nfvo / vnfm information.

      Quoting from OpenBaton source, NSR has following attributes :

      {
      	Set<AutoScalePolicy>,
      	Set<ConnectionPoint>,
      	Set<monitoring_parameter>,
      	NetworkServiceDeploymentFlavour,
      	vendor,
      	task,
      	version,
      	Set<VirtualLinkRecord>,
      	Set<VirtualNetworkFunctionRecord>,
      	Set<VNFRecordDependency>, // This could refer to S-VNFM & NFV-O Dependency
      	Set<LifecycleEvent>,
      	Set<VNFForwardingGraphRecord>,
      	Set<PhysicalNetworkFunctionRecord>,
      	Set<FaultManagementPolicy>,
      	Set<LifecycleEvent>,
      	Status,
      	audit_log
         :
      }

      I hope we have similar model somewhere either in SO ( as object ) or in AAI . Could anyone please point me in right direction ?

    2. As mentioned under "Orchestration Scenarios for VNFs" in 2018-12-13 AAI Developers Meeting :

      As I understand, ESR has "esr-vnfm-list", which has an "esr-vnfm", which has "esr-system-info-list", which has "esr-system-info", which has a "relationship-list" that can contain relationships to "generic-vnf" and other AAI objects.

      The "generic-vnf" object also contains "self-link", "ipv4OamAddress", "ipv4OamGatewayAddress", etc, which links the AAI object back to its "source-of-truth" external-system.

      Is there some new data, new schema or new API that is required on top of this?

      1. Apologies for my lack of knowledge, but a few comments:

        1. For the VNF/VF ↔ VNFM case, I think that there needs to be a reference from a VNF/VF instance record to the specific instance of the VNFM that was used to deploy the VNF/VF. If there is already such a reference from the VNF/VF through the ESR to the specific item on the esr-vnfm-list, then I think that would be sufficient. If not, I think that would be a new requirement.
        2. For the Service ↔ NFVO case, Is there an equivalent NFVO/Orchestrator list in the ESR? The esr-nfvo-list would need the same set of info as the VNFM case. If the esr-nfvo-list does exist, I think that there needs to be a reference from the Service Instance record to the specific NFVO instance that deployed the Service. Is there such a reference? If not, I think that would be a new requirement.
        1. Bo Lv can comment more on the current ESR capabilities, but I believe there are only 3 kinds of systems so far: EMS, VNFM and third-party SDNC.

          ESR could be extended to handle VNFO as another kind of system.


          1. Keong Lim there are four kinds of resouces: ems, sdnc, vim and vnfm. If there is a new kind, this may be added to esr too.

          1. There is not a reference between vnf/vf and vnfm, esr just registed vnfm to AAI.
          2. Right now, esr does not support regist vnfo. So, there is also not a reference of service and NFVO.
          1. Fernando Oliveira please raise a JIRA story to describe this scenario for ESR.

            1. I created JIRA stories:  ONAPARC-388 - Getting issue details... STATUS   ONAPARC-389 - Getting issue details... STATUS   ONAPARC-390 - Getting issue details... STATUS  for various parts of the scenario.

              1. Hi Fernando Oliveira ,

                Stephen Terrill may prefer to have an JIRA Epic to tie them all together as "Orchestration Scenarios". This will also allow JIRA Stories to be distributed to the various ONAP projects as needed.

    Just quick questions for SOL002 and SOL003 adaptor in ONAP. Could you help to clarify?

    In the proposal 'VNF Application Configuration over SOL003 ModifyVnfInfo interface using an External vendor specific VNF Manager',  SOL003 adaptor shall support configure/reconfigure VNF via ModifyVnfInfor.

    1. But on SOL003 Adapter, seems such operation is not scoped in Frankfurt, right?
    2. Also, 'VNF Application Configuration Over SOL003' is can be involved during different procedures like deployment, instantiate, run-time re-configuration, updating and so on, right? Or only in deployment and instantiate?


    BestRegards

    Fei

    1. Fei Zhang

      1. Correct.  We were not able to commit enough resources to scope the the ModifyVnfInfo into Frankfurt.
      2. Also Correct.  VNF Application Configuration over SOL003" could be involved in many LCM procedures.  The GNF-C proposal (Merging of SDN-C & APP-C) would have added an interface to the  SOL003 Adapter that would be used for Application Configuration as well as VNF Life Cycle Notification (LCN) and VNF Events.  This proposal has also starved from a lack of resources.
      1. Thanks, it is clear for the status now

  8. Per Feb 3 call, I have an action point on follow-up on ETSI NFV SOL 002/003/005 v2.7.1 OpenAPI release schedule.  At the moment, the plan is March 31, 2020.

  9. ETSI NFV IFA & SOL Working Group have prepared responses to list of question during ONAP-ETSI Alignment workshop, February 18, 2020. The Q & A is available at https://nfvwiki.etsi.org/index.php?title=ONAP-ETSI_Alignment_Workshop_-_18_February_2020
