Architecture

High level architecture diagram

The VNF Requirements Project is not delivering ONAP platform code, rather it delivers documentation targeted to VNF providers to enable thme to develop VNFS  which can be more easily onboarded and operated by an Operator using an ONAP platform.


Platform Maturity

Refering to CII Badging Security Program and Platform Maturity Requirements, fill out the table below by indicating the actual level , the targeted level for the current release and the evidences on how you plan to achieve the targeted level.

API Incoming Dependencies

Other ONAP projects that this VNF Requirements project depends on:

The VNF Requirments does not produce code interfaciong with platform APIs. The VNF Requirments do consoliate requirements from ONAP platform compontents that impact the design and development of VNFs.  These ONAP platform components in the table below generate APIs that impact VNFs and so these are generally reflected in the VNF Requirements.

API Outgoing Dependencies

The VNF Requirements do not provide code with APIs, but the VNF Requirements are used as inputs  by a number of other ONAP projects.

VNF SDK VNF  tooling should support the development and packaging of VNFs that are  conformant to the VNF Requirements N/A

Documentation  

References   to deliverables produced by this project may be included in various ONAP release documents maintained through the  documentation project

N/A see the  VNFRQTS <> Documentation Project Workflows wiki page

Reference  VNFs (now Integration  Project)

Reference  VNFs should be VNF Requirement compliant. The Integration Project  maintaining those Reference VNFS would be dependent on the VNF Requirements for validating compliance.

N/A see the VNFRQTS <> Integration Project Workflow wiki page

Third Party Products Dependencies

The VNF Requirements is documentation rather than code so there is no dependency on 3rd party products other than the documentation and development tool chains provided through the Linux Foundation. 

Testing and Integration Plans

Provide a description of the testing activities (unit test, functional test, automation,...) that will be performed by the team within the scope of this release.

Describe the plan to integrate and test the release deliverables within the overall ONAP system.
Confirm that resources have been allocated to perform such activities.

Gaps

This section is used to document a limitation on a functionality or platform support. We are currently aware of this limitation and it will be delivered in a future Release.
List identified release gaps (if any), and its impact.

Gaps identifiedImpact
VNF Requirements linkage to testing

VNF Requirements are current provided for RFP purposes, but the linkage to testing and validation of those requirments is not yet in place

This release provides initial generic test plan descriptions for testing of VNFs based on the VNF Package. It does not provide test descriptions for design time or run time functional testing of VNFs.

The testing linkage is also costrained by the scope of the VNF Information model in the VNF Package and the relationships identified between that information model and the VNF requirements.

Hardware / infrastructure requirementsThe Amsterdam release requirments had a placeholder (Chapter 6) for VNF requirements associated with the hardwrae executuion environment. Additional requirments are expected in this area from the Multi-VIM project, and perhaps the PNF related features.
HEAT/TOSCA requirementsThe Amsterdam release requirments has text on HEAT and TOSCA requirmenst but not numbered requirments text. This is expected to be improved as part of the Beijing release work.

Known Defects and Issues

Provide a link toward the list of all known project bugs.

Risks

List the risks identified for this release along with the plan to prevent the risk to occur (mitigation) and the plan of action in the case the risk would materialized (contingency).

Free and Open Source Software

FOSS activities are critical to the delivery of the whole ONAP initiative. The information may not be fully available at Release Planning, however to avoid late refactoring, it is critical to accomplish this task as early as possible.
List all third party Free and Open Source Software used within the release and provide License type (BSD, MIT, Apache, GNU GPL,... ).
In the case non Apache License are found inform immediately the TSC and the Release Manager and document your reasoning on why you believe we can use a non Apache version 2 license.

Each project must edit its project table available at Project FOSS. This vnfrqts project is a documentation project using the LF toolchain coordinated via the documentation project. 


Charter Compliance
