DCAE MOD ( Microservices Onboarding and Design ) is being redesigned with angular based UI to have a great user experience, self managed catalog with APIs to ease access and manage life cycle of different version of microservices.
It also provides extensibility to include pluggable modules for generating deployment artifacts and communication with other systems such as Policy Engine and DCAE dashboard.
Details of the target architecture and initial implementation can be found in below ppt slides and initial API Specifications
DCAE MOD Catalog and UI redesign draft - DCAE_MOD_redesign_v3.pptx
API Specification draft - swagger json (draft)
Below picture depicts the target architecture of redesigned MOD
It is composed of UI and Backend with Catalog service and Authentication Service.
UI
UI is developed using angular framework and enables users including designers and developers to onboard microservices. It currently provides a user-friendly menu options to onboard microservices and its instances per release, associate a component specification and generate deployment artifact that can be deployed using DCAE dashboard.
It will be enhanced to onboard policy models and data format to support policy-based control and composite microservice models.
Backend
The backend for MOD composed of a catalog service and authentication service. Catalog Service will manage microservices, its instances and generated deployment artifacts. Authentication service will provide access control for designers and developers to perform different operations.
Catalog Service
Catalog service is composed of APIs to manage base microservice, microservice instances, component specifications associated with microservices and to generate deployment artifacts.
Authentication Service
Authentication service provides APIs to manage users, currently used by UI.
