Project Name:

  • Proposed name for the project: Multi VIM/Cloud for Infrastructure Providers
  • Proposed name for the repository: multicloud

Project description:

  • ONAP needs underlying virtualized infrastructure to deploy, run, and manage network services and VNFs. The service provider looks for flexibility in its choice of on-premise private cloud, public cloud, or hybrid cloud implementations, and related network backends. This project aims to enable ONAP to support multiple infrastructure environments, for example, OpenStack and its different distributions, private clouds (e.g VMware, Azure etc.), and micro services containers, etc.
  • ONAP needs to maintain platform backward compatibility with every new release. This project decouples the evolution of ONAP platform from the evolution of underlying cloud infrastructure to enable the deployed ONAP intact when upgrading the underlying cloud infrastructures.

Scope:

  1. A plugable and extensible framework that
    1. provides a Mediation Layer which includes
      1. A common northbound interface (NBI) / Multi-Cloud APIs
      2. A common abstraction model
      3. The ability to handle differences in models
    2. The ability to generate or extend NBI based on the functional model of underlying infrastructure
    3. allows Infrastructure Controller to register, discover and choose one or more VIM(s) to use
    4. allows global SDN Controller to choose and work with multiple local SDN Controller backends
    5. enables multiple local SDN Controller backends to interoperate collaboratively and simultaneously
    6. implements adapters for different providers.
  2. Close loop remediation — Monitoring API collection for multi-cloud resource metrics (utilization, availability, health, performance), potential integration with DCAE collectors
  3. SDC VNF template customization and/or optimization to establish close match to the underline capabilities of the infrastructure provider(s)

Deliverables of Release One:

Note: this section is for brainstorming and informational purpose, and subject to change during release planning stage

In R1, we target to support

  • Minimal
    • Demo use case within a single site, supported by any single VIM provider.
    • For vVoLTE or vCPE, enable single VIM provider across multi-site 
  • Stretch goal
    • Implementation of the adapters for VMware VIO, OpenStack (Wind River), and Microsoft Azure.
    • For vVoLTE or vCPE, enable mix of different VIM providers across multi-site

Architecture Alignment:

  • How does this project fit into the rest of the ONAP Architecture?

            The proposed Multi VIM layer will be added into the infrastructure controller. It has dependencies with SO, DCAE, A&AI, and will act as the single access point to be called by these components for accessing the cloud and virtual infrastructure. Furthermore, it will align with SDN-C component for both intra DC connectivity as well as inter-DC connectivity. Thus it is also the single access point for SDN-C to work with other local SDN Controllers. Applications/VNFs can be homed to the different cloud providers through the standard ONAP methods. For automated homing (SNIRO), different cloud providers can register attributes that differentiate their cloud platforms (e.g., reliability, latency, other capabilities) in A&AI and application placement policies/constraints can request for these specific properties (e.g., reliability > 0.999).


  • How does this align with external standards/specifications?
    • Support existed functions
    • Information/data models by ONAP modeling project
    • Compliant with ETSI NFV architecture framework
      • This project aligns with ETSI NFV VIM and NFVi
  • Are there dependencies with other open source projects?
