3. Component Description:
Usecase-UI is a web application which contains two parts:
- Usecase-UI GUI
- Usecase-UI Server
4. known system limitations
Now the component Redundancy and scaling depends on Kubernetes.
5. Used Models
Usecase-UI use the following models:
- TOSCA - VNF Descriptor/NS Descriptor ETSI NFV SOL001 v2.4.1 & v2.5.1
6. System Deployment Architecture
Usecase-UI consists of 4 containers:
Usecase-UI-Operator Portal
Usecase-UI-Operator Server
- Usecase-UI-Customer Portal
- Usecase-UI-Customer Backend
7. New Release Capabilities
The Frankfurt Release supports two capabilities:
1. 5G Slicing Use Case
- Providing CSMF Portal for customers to support 5G Slicing business
- Providing NSMF Portal for ONAP operating staffs to support 5G Slicing management
2. CCVPN Use Case
- Get and Show MDONS (L1) Service Instances
- Instantiate MDONS (L1) Service Instances
- Terminate MDONS (L1) Service Instance
- Service Provisioning: Adaption of single service template. UUI BE to SO call will be single now,（there were 2 calls from UUI BE to SO）
- Service Topology: Adaption of new schema in AAI（ the AAI schema for SOTN service had 2 service linked using allotted-resource）
