In Dublin release, the CDS community has contributed a framework to automate the resolution of resources for instantiation and any config provisioning operation, such as day0, day1 or day2 configuration.

The content of the CBA Package is driven from a catalog of reusable data dictionary, component and workflow, delivering a reusable and simplified self service experience.

TOSCA based JSON formatted model following standard: http://docs.oasis-open.org/tosca/TOSCA-Simple-Profile-YAML/v1.2/csd01/TOSCA-Simple-Profile-YAML-v1.2-csd01.html

Most of the TOSCA modeled entity presented in the bellow documentation can be found here: https://github.com/onap/ccsdk-cds/tree/master/components/model-catalog/definition-type/starter-type

Controller Blueprint Archive (.cba)

The Controller Blueprint Archive is the overall service design, fully model-driven, intent based package needed for SELF SERVICE provisioning and configuration management automation.

The CBA is .zip file, comprised of the following folder structure, the files may vary:

├── Definitions
│   ├── blueprint.json							Overall TOSCA service template (worfklow + node_template
│   ├── artifact_types.json 					(generated)
│   ├── data_types.json 						(generated)
│   ├── node_types.json 						(generated)
│   ├── relationship_types.json 				(generated)
│   └── resources_definition_types.json 		(generated based on mapping files)
├── Environments
├── Plans										Contains Directed Graph
├── Scripts										Contains scripts
├── TOSCA-Metadata
│   └── TOSCA.meta								Meta-data of overall package
└── Templates									Contains combination of mapping and template

Dynamic API

The nature of the API request and response is meant to be model driven and dynamic. The both share the same definition.

The actionName, under the actionIdentifiers refers to the name of a Workflow (see workflow)

The content of the payload is what is fully dynamic / model driven.

The first top level element will always be either $actionName-request for a request or $actionName-response for a response.

Then the content within this element is fully based on the workflow input and output.

Here is how the a generic request and response look like.

{
  "commonHeader": {
    "originatorId": "",
    "requestId": "",
    "subRequestId": ""
  },
  "actionIdentifiers": {
    "blueprintName": "",
    "blueprintVersion": "",
    "actionName": "",
    "mode": ""
  },
  "payload": {
     "$actionName-request": {
     }
  }
}

Enrichment

TBD

Flexible Plug-in

Interaction with external systems is made plug-able, removing development cycle to support new endpoint.

Currently, REST or SQL external systems are supported.

An external system might be used by multiple resources, or by multiple scripts.

In order to share the external system information, TOSCA provides a way to create macros using dsl_definitions:

Expression

TOSCA provides for a set of functions to reference elements within the template or to retrieve runtime values.

Workflow

A workflow defines an overall action to be taken on the service, hence is an entry-point for the run-time execution of the CBA package.

A workflow also defines inputs and outputs that will defined the payload contract of the request and response (see Dynamic API)

A workflow can be composed of one or multiple sub-actions to execute.

A CBA package can have as many workflows as needed.

Bellow the properties of a workflow:

Property Description

workflow-name Defines the name of the action that can be triggered by external system

inputs

They are two types of inputs, the dynamic ones, and the static one.

Represents any input enforced by the designer at the workflow level

The TBD enrichment process will dynamically create a data-type for the workflow, capturing all the resources defined as part of the mapping definition file using the resource source input.

The enrichment process will add an entry within the workflow input, with the name as follow:

${workflow-name}-properties, and this input will used the dynamically created data-type, of name dt-${workflow-name}-properties.

Example for workflow named resource-assignment:

  "resource-assignment-properties": {
    "required": true,
    "type": "dt-resource-assignment-properties"
  }

outputs

Defines the outputs of the execution; there can be as many output as needed.

type	value
data type (complex / primitive)	value resolvable using expression

steps

Defines the actual step to execute as part of the workflow

step-name	description	target
name of the step	step description	a node_template (see single action or multiple action)

Example:

{
  "workflow": {
    "resource-assignment": {								<- workflow-name
      "inputs": {
        "vnf-id": {											<- static inputs
          "required": true,
          "type": "string"
        },
        "resource-assignment-properties": {					<- dynamic inputs
          "required": true,
          "type": "dt-resource-assignment-properties"
        }
      },
      "steps": {
        "call-resource-assignment": {						<- step-name
          "description": "Resource Assignment Workflow",
          "target": "resource-assignment-process"			<- node_template targeted by the step
        }
      },
      "outputs": {
        "template-properties": {							<- output
          "type": "json",									<- complex type
          "value": {
            "get_attribute": [								<- uses expression to retrieve attribute from context
              "resource-assignment",
              "assignment-params"
            ]
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

TOSCA definition: http://docs.oasis-open.org/tosca/TOSCA-Simple-Profile-YAML/v1.2/csd01/TOSCA-Simple-Profile-YAML-v1.2-csd01.html#_Toc494454203

Single action

The workflow is directly backed by a node_template of type tosca.nodes.Component

Multiple sub-actions

The workflow is backed by Directed Graph engine, node_template of type dg-generic, and are imperative workflows.

A DG used as workflow for CDS is composed of multiple execute nodes; each individual execute node refers to a plugin, that is a node_template of type tosca.nodes.Component.

Template

A template is an artifact, and uses artifact-mapping-resource and artifact-template-velocity.

A template is parameterized and each parameter must be defined in a corresponding mapping file.

In order to know which mapping correlates to which template, the file name must start with an artifact-prefix, serving as identifier to the overall template + mapping.

The requirement is as follows:

${artifact-prefix}-template
${artifact-prefix}-mapping

Resource accumulator

In order to resolve HEAT environment variables, resource accumulator templates are being in used in Dublin.

These templates are specific to the instantiation scenario, and relies on GR-API within SDNC.

It is composed of the following sections:

resource-accumulator-resolved-data: defines all the resources that can be resolved directly from the context. It expresses a direct mapping between the name of the resource and its value.
capability-data: defines what capability to use to create a specific resource, along with the ingredients required to invoke the capability and the output mapping.

Scripts

Library

NetconfClient

In order to facilitate NETCONF interaction within scripts, a python NetconfClient binded to our Kotlin implementation is made available. This NetconfClient can be used when using the component-netconf-executor.

The client can be find here: https://github.com/onap/ccsdk-apps/blob/master/components/scripts/python/ccsdk_netconf/netconfclient.py

ResolutionHelper

When executing a component executor script, designer might want to perform resource resolution along with template meshing directly from the script itself.

The helper can be find here: https://github.com/onap/ccsdk-apps/blob/master/components/scripts/python/ccsdk_netconf/common.py

Resource Definition aka Data Dictionary

A data dictionary models the how a specific resource can be resolved.

A resource is a variable/parameter in the context of the service. It can be anything, but it should not be confused with SDC or Openstack resources.

A data dictionary can have multiple sources to handle resolution in different ways.

The main goal of data dictionary is to define re-usable entity that could be shared.

Creation of data dictionaries is a standalone activity, separated from the blueprint design.

As part of modelling a data dictionary entry, the following generic information should be provided:

Property	Description	Scope
name	Data dictionary name	Mandatory
tags	Information related	Mandatory
updated-by	The creator	Mandatory
property	Defines type and description, as nested JSON	Mandatory
sources	List of resource source instance (see resource source)	Mandatory

Bellow are properties that all the resource source have will have

The modeling does allow for data translation between external capability and CDS for both input and output key mapping.

Property	Description	Scope
input-key-mapping	map of resources required to perform the request/query. The left hand-side is what is used within the query/request, the right hand side refer to a data dictionary instance.	Optional
output-key-mapping	name of the resource to be resolved mapped to the value resolved by the request/query.	Optional
key-dependencies	list of data dictionary instances to be resolved prior the resolution of this specific resource. during run time execution the key dependencies are recursively sorted and resolved in batch processing using the acyclic graph algorithm.	Optional

Example:
vf-module-model-customization-uuid and vf-module-label are two data dictionaries. A SQL table, VF_MODULE_MODEL, exist to correlate them.

Here is how input-key-mapping, output-key-mapping and key-dependencies can be used:

{
  "name" : "vf-module-label",
  "tags" : "vf-module-label",
  "updated-by" : "adetalhouet",
  "property" : {
    "description" : "vf-module-label",
    "type" : "string"
  },
  "sources" : {
    "primary-db" : {
      "type" : "source-primary-db",
      "properties" : {
        "type" : "SQL",
        "query" : "select sdnctl.VF_MODULE_MODEL.vf_module_label as vf_module_label from sdnctl.VF_MODULE_MODEL where sdnctl.VF_MODULE_MODEL.customization_uuid=:customizationid",
        "input-key-mapping" : {
          "customizationid" : "vf-module-model-customization-uuid"
        },
        "output-key-mapping" : {
          "vf-module-label" : "vf_module_label"
        },
        "key-dependencies" : [ "vf-module-model-customization-uuid" ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Resource source

Defines the contract to resolve a resource.

A resource source is modeled, following TOSCA node_type definition, and derives from the tosca.nodes.ResourceSource

Input

Expects the value to be provided as input to the request.

git link

{
  "description": "This is Input Resource Source Node Type",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "properties": {},
  "derived_from": "tosca.nodes.ResourceSource"
}

Default

Expects the value to be defaulted in the model itself.

git link

{
  "description": "This is Default Resource Source Node Type",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "properties": {},
  "derived_from": "tosca.nodes.ResourceSource"
}

REST

Expects the URI along with the VERB and the payload, if needed.

CDS is currently deployed along the side of SDNC, hence the default rest connection provided by the framework is to SDNC MDSAL.

Property	Description	Scope
type	Expected output value, only JSON supported for now	Optional
verb	HTTP verb for the request - default value is GET	Optional
payload		Optional
endpoint-selector	Specify which REST system to connect to	Optional

  },
  "derived_from": "tosca.nodes.ResourceSource"
}

Connection to a specific REST system can be expressed through the endpoint-selector property, which refers to a macro defining the information about the REST system the connect to. Understand TOSCA Macro in the context of CDS.

Few ways are available to authenticate to the REST system:

"dsl_definitions": {
  "dynamic-rest-source": {
	"type" : "token-auth",
	"url" : "http://localhost:32778",
	"token" : "Token 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567"
  }
}

"dsl_definitions": {
  "dynamic-rest-source": {
	"type" : "basic-auth",
	"url" : "http://localhost:32778",
	"username" : "bob",
	"password": "marley"
 }
}

TBD - The trustore and the keystore can be provide as environment through the Environment folder in the CBA.

"dsl_definitions": {
  "dynamic-rest-source": {
	"type" : "ssl-basic-auth",
	"url" : "http://localhost:32778",

	"sslTrust": "trusture",
	"sslTrustPassword": "trustore password",
	"sslKey": "keystore",
	"sslKeyPassword: "keystore password"
 }
}

SQL

Expects the SQL query to be modeled; that SQL query can be parameterized, and the parameters be other resources resolved through other means. If that's the case, this data dictionary definition will have to define key-dependencies along with input-key-mapping.

CDS is currently deployed along the side of SDNC, hence the primary database connection provided by the framework is to SDNC database.
