Hi Huabing,

Thanks for launching the discussions on ONAP Microservices architecture. Right 
timing! This is a very important topic that we need to consider for the ONAP 
target architecture (R3+)!

I added the following item to the agenda for today’s tiger team call:

-          ONAP Microservices Architecture for Casablanca and beyond

Please share your slides prior to the call. I hope Manoj, Alex, Manish and 
other folks who have been quite active in driving this work in ONAP can join 
the call as well.
Thank you
Parviz

Subject: Some thoughts about ONAP Microservice Architecture for Casablanca and 
beyond: Service Mesh, Centralized Authentication and unified API standards


Hi all,

I'd like to share some of my thoughts about ONAP Microservice Architecture for 
Casablanca and beyond



1. Service Mesh

Service Mesh is the next generation of Microservice approach, which can bring 
lots of benefits to ONAP and its users at both the development and operation 
sides. Such as

·         the separation of business logic and Microservice 
infrastructure(communication, security, metrics etc)

·         allowing free choice of development tech stack

·         flexible route rules to enable traffic steering and canary release

·         monitoring and tracing visibility

·         fault injection for resiliency testing, etc

We should take service mesh into consideration. There are multiple choices on 
the table right now, given its tight relationship with kubernetes which is used 
for ONAP deployment, I suggest we give Istio a shot in Casablanca. MSB project 
is investigating the possibility of integration of Istio and ONAP right now.



2. Centralized Authentication

ONAP is a huge system consisting of many services. Currently, different 
services such as AAI, SDC, Policy etc. have their own authentication process, 
which makes ONAP difficult to use and adds burden to the individual project to 
enforce the cross-project authentication logic. We need to consider 
implementing some kind of centralized authentication, which means user login 
once and can access all the services. We also need to consider how to secure 
the access of 3-party systems by using API token or OAuth.



3. Unified API standard

Most of the projects produce RESTFul APIs for consuming, but in a 
none-consistent way. we need to define some unified standards/best practices on 
the REST API definition across the ONAP projects such as versioning, url, error 
code.  There is a draft in the wiki page: 
https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/RESTful+API+Design+Specification

BR,

Huabing
