Key Requirements

To support latency-sensitive, high-bandwidth network functions and applications driven by 5G, Edge Computing, VOLTE use cases some of the key requirements from a Cloud Infrastructure perspective are

1) A single Cloud Region needs to be able to manage multiple distributed physical DCs

2) Standardized representation of Multi-vendor Cloud Object Hierarchy for aggregate objects (Cloud Region, Tenants etc.) and atomic objects (VMs, Containers etc.) for resource allocation and metrics such as resource utilization

3) Standardized representation of Multi-vendor Cloud Events (E.g. VM Power On/Off), Alerts (E.g. Cloud Region CPU Usage exceeds threshold) and Faults (E.g. Loss of Redundancy from a Host NIC perspective) including policies

4) Interaction of aforementioned policies with ONAP Policy Framework, especially closed loop remediation

5) Inter-Cloud Workload Placement/Scheduling/Change Management decisions driven by ONAP OOF to leverage metrics, especially latency and bandwidth, at an aggregate object level 

Overview

This page is to track the realization of the aforementioned requirements for Casablanca.
