Hi Nati
I believe we can discuss all the possible solutions based on these
principles. We can discuss it based on ONAP UseCase, evaluate what benefit can
each solution bring to us, etc.
Wish to meet you next week.
Best regards

Hi Zengjianguo
First of all thanks for the detailed clarification.
I actually tend to agree with most of your description.
We still have some differences on how we view the specific chain of events but
i'm not sure that its worth spending more time on it.
I think that the important part is that we seem to agree that the general
direction should be to allow both native workflow as well as BPMN as the
general direction going forward.
You also seem to confirm that some of the assumptions or limitations that led
to the choice of technology at the time have changed by now and therefore worth
revisit. ((decoupling of the components specifically).
I'm not sure if this is covered in the current agenda but if not this is what
ONAP should be considering IMO.

Hi Nati
I am sorry that I can?t agree on that statement:? Open-O took wrt to
workflow which wasn't based on any technical merit per-se but mostly on
practical aspects?
I join the architecture discussion since the beginning of OPEN-O,
there?s several technical principle for each components selections, all the
discussion was lead by ARC and Elzur Uri do lots of work in it:
1: ?Be Decouple and micro-serviced based? is very important,
the Selection should not cause us to bind with one special platform/product and
no other choice, or bind to a large platform that must be integrated before
provide the required service.
2: ?practical or available on time?, yes, it?s principle for
all open source community. All selections should be able catch up with our
deliver plan, don?t lets all others wait for that selection to be mature.
3: ?as less effort as possible?, so that it ?s encourage to
reuse or interwork with exist product or solution. Don?t re-invent the wheel.
OPEN-O get alignment on these principle in the pre-meeting in Mar 2
2016 beijing meeting, We decide to not develop based on ManageIQ due to
principle 1. At that time, we agree to use ARIA.
But in June meeting in Shenzhen, we found ARIA can?t meet principle 1
too, and ask the Parser to decouple with workflow engine in ARIA.
After the meeting, we were told that the decouple will take much more
time than plan, so we start to find alternative solution according to
Principle 2, and select WSO2. But all agree that we may use ARIA in R2 if it
can meet the requirements of principle 1.
Although OPEN-O may be young, it?s very successful in the history of LF, I
think these principle can be apply to ONAP too. ?Support native TOSCA workflow?
is good idea, but since BPMN/BPEL is already a mature technology and widely
used, lots of selection available by now, so my opinions is we can discuss it
base on those principles.

Lingli
I think that you omitted an important fact.
The workflow proposal in TOSCA 1.1 is based on native workflow which is similar
to what Aria and Cloudify use and extend upon it.
There is an on going open discussion to use a delegate model to allow other to
"delegate" the workflow from TOSCA to external workflow but that is not yet
decided and would only be included in future versions of the spec. In any case
the TOSCA spec support both options so a degree of preference to the native
option.
I really don't see how we can have an *open* discussion on modeling without
presenting at least both options and i'm concerned that the way this topic is
presented in the agenda is therefore already biased toward a certain direction
and doesn't encourage a real open discussion on this subject.
Michael Brener tried to provide a balanced view on the history and evolution of
Workflows in TOSCA vs Similar
DSLs<http://cloudify.co/brochures/tosca-workflows-Apr-2017.pdf> in his paper
which was also shared with the OASIS community. I think that it could serve as
a good background to the topic.
Lingli you also made the following comment which i found to be inaccurate at
best.
" native workflow proposed by gigaspaces was turned down by the consensus of
the OPENO community,"
There was practical reasons for taking the direction that Open-O took wrt to
workflow which wasn't based on any technical merit per-se but mostly on
practical aspects (which is a fair consideration). There was already existing
investment in other workflow engine as part of the seed code and there was
preference to use that as a first choice given the aggressive timeline of the
first release.
There was never a decision NOT to use native-workflow as been suggested or any
technical argument that was associated with this decision or direction.
As Brian mentioned other projects that didn't had that same constraints took a
different direction and as i mentioned above the TOSCA spec itself took that
similar direction as well.
One last non related comment
You and others are referring to the discussion and decisions in Open-O
interchangeably as if it represent a well thought standard process or an
community led process.
While i think that Open-O was founded with that intent in mind it was still
fairly young community and didn't reached the level of maturity of a real open
community and therefore i would encourage people in ONAP to look more
consciously and do more fact checking whenever this reference is brought up as
an argument in a discussion.
I think that as we evolve with ONAP community we should be more open minded and
inclusive in considering other alternatives even to things that were previously
decided in previous related projects and make sure that the decision and
discussion serve best the current project goal as many of the consideration and
constraints of those previous projects are not relevant anymore.
This is specifically true as we move toward more cloud-native, dev-ops and
container based approach.

Hi Michael,
You may consult your gigaspace's colleage, as my recollection, native workflow
proposed by gigaspaces was turned down by the consensus of the OPENO
community, we decided to use BPMN/BPEL type of workflow, you can also find out
the workflow in MSO /APPC of OPENCOMP are also using BPMN/DG
Thanks,

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your suggestion, workflow is already covered in the Shitao?s
session, they will discuss
1) OPENCOMP Workflow
2) OPEN-O Workflow.

Thanks DENG for leading this initiative.
I would love to share few quick links to prepare for this meeting:
We have a two parts video that provides TOSCA in practice training : Part 1:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMkqLI6o-58 and
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xGmpi--7-A
And Michael Brenner for ETSI/NFV and TOSCA has recently drafted a in-depth

Hi Rittwik and DENG,
Is modeling discussion covering network service and VNF descriptors? Or it is
broader to cover all of the ONAP functions?
Yes, I am planning to attend.
