Architecture Scope:

• Instantiation of edge and connectivity to ONAP central (out of scope for ONAP)
  
  
• Edge Cloud Registration [Ref. Arch. Impact Details (1)]
  • Automation of registration when scale (>100s)
• ONAP edge functions or 3rd party edge functions deployed at edge (e.g. Analytics, Closed Loop Control) [Ref. Arch. Impact Details (21 , 22)]
  • Registration of the edge functions to ONAP central (Intent, capabilities, capacity)
    • Intent Example: “Infrastructure Analytics as service for Alerts at Cluster Level and Host Level”
• Deploy Network Services in an optimal way to the edges using edge/central functions [Ref. Arch. Impact Details (3)]
  • Includes multiple VNFs on multiple edges/core which make a service
  • Cloud region (means one control plane) choice
  • Connect the service to the functions

• Networking of ONAP Central and edge functions [Ref. Arch. Impact Details (5)
