Scripting is useful but shell scripts that wrap curl functions are the method we are pushing folks towards. Separate CLI and REST API’s are generally a waste. With automation we see less pressure to have a CLI and more a need to be able to get the work done and CURL/POSTMAN are the tools of the new devops environment.

Don’t agree with the comment on GUI can’t be used in DevOps. Wonder how CLI would be easier in any which ways to work with clumsy yaml/TOSCA files. CLI was good for short service commands. While it would still make sense to have it for VNFs; for some of the reasons sighted below. For Network Automation Platform like ONAP; still ponder over it’s necessity. thanks & regards, Dhananjay Pavgi Mobile : +91 98220 22264 [cid:[email protected]] [ONAP_logo_Sig] www.techmahindra.com<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.techmahindra.com_&d=DwMFbw&c=LFYZ-o9_HUMeMTSQicvjIg&r=e3d1ehx3DI5AoMgDmi2Fzw&m=ncRngcZpXka2jMSmL1oJGt4w1hL19yXmHBVERs05SNw&s=Zu_mS4NKhmNLm4tuW1BV3uizS5cAdpEYQkPdFGvAaVs&e=> Platinum Member.

Pls find my inputs below: CLI has its own advantages over GUI in following aspects: 1. ONAP Continuous integration (CI), where we want to perform various ONAP operations, CLI will be very handy option. This is applicable to 3rd party CI as well. 2. While GUI is the preferred interface for end-user, back-end operators and admin always prefer CLI (it’s an industry trend !) as its simpler, faster. 3. Installation scripting, VNF boot scripting with ONAP. 4. Dev testing … integration testing. 5. OSS/BSS products would want to perform any automation on top of ONAP, it could go either with CLI or SDK. In short, GUI can’t be used in devops environment, and CLI fills the gap. In addition, CLI provides an alternate option to GUI, for operating back ONAP functionalities. And to feel the importance of CLI, Pls refer some existing active automation projects in industry, given here: 1. OpenStack heat provides CLI ‘openstack stack’ 2. Cloudify provides CLI ‘cfy’ 3. ODL provides CLI with different commands So IMHO, * CLI does compliment GUI and does not defeat it. * Considering ONAP as platform, CLI should be part of it.
