R1 use cases, and open lab

 

Hi,

 

Thanks Mazin for driving the clarity on this issue, and also Adityakar for 
further comment.

 

I do want to touch base on another aspect that was brought up by Gil in his 
original thread, which is about NFVi+VIM. I hope we are not limiting ourselves 
to only open source NFVI+VIM for the release 1 use cases. To follow the same 
line that Mazin highlighted below that VNFs need to evolve towards supporting 
ONAP VNF requirements, we should also be open to any NFVi+VIM which aligns with 
overall ONAP architecture framework and model driven principal. To this point, 
I want to mention that this is the fundamental goal of our Multi VIM/Cloud 
project, which is to allow cloud providers (either from pure open source or 
from commercial 3rd party vendors) to integrate into ONAP in a way where it 
follows ONAP principal and requirements, driven through the community effort 
and open collaboration. We are also prioritizing the project scope to ensure 
MultVIM supports R1 use cases through integration lab

 

Thanks

 

Danny

Dear Mazin, 

I understand that "VNF Requirements" project is meant for the same.

I propose that we make a Generic Requirements (GR) document covering all 
aspects and interfaces including FCAPS. The document shall be version 
controlled and will mature alongside ONAP. 

While on boarding test/demo and commercial VNFs, we may seek compliance 
document from the VNF provider with respect to the GR. 


Regards,
Adityakar Jha

Team,  

 

I will put together a set of expectations for ONAP to consider commercial VNFs 
in R1 or future releases. We can 

then discuss and have them vetted by the TSC.

 

Having access to the VNF in a testing lab with continuous support  is necessary 
but not sufficient. We need to ensure that VNFs evolve towards supporting ONAP 
VNF

requirements so we harmonize telemetry, alarms, etc. This is crucial to avoid 
writing custom code for each service, 

and each VNF.

To make our discussion simple, I'd like to separate ONAP with the 
infrastructure and VNFs which is not in the scope of the open source project. I 
do not find any improper to leverage commercial VNFs or infrastructure for 
testing open source code. I do not object introducing open source 
infrastructure and VNFs for ONAP testing. I just have the same concern with 
Oliver in previous mail, that is if someone can commit the support to the open 
source infrastructure or VNFs. I believe efficient support with quick response 
is critical for testing. Otherwise developers might struggle in the mire of 
bugs in ONAP and  also bugs in infrastructure or VNFs. 

ZTE have committed to provides our commercial vEPC for voLTE use case that 
means we also committed support during testing. So we need volunteers commit 
their support on any open source infrastructure or VNFs.   

 

Thanks,

主 题 :Re: [onap-tsc] Usage of commercial VNF and NFVI+VIM solutions forONAP R1 
use cases, and open lab

 

For an open source community, the use of proprietary software in the production 
of the platform (including tools, NFVI platforms, or VNFs used as use cases for 
developing the platform  in open labs), or as part of the released platform, 
takes the project into a tricky space. It will complicate how “open” the labs 
actually are, e.g. who has the ability to use what where, and the transparency 
of test results with/against specific proprietary  components.

 

Certainly it would be useful to provide some environment in which commercial 
NFVI platforms or VNFs are tested against the ONAP platform, and takeaways from 
that  used to help improve the project. But that environment would probably 
need to be separate from the main “open” labs or more tightly controlled, as 
access to the proprietary components/VNFs would be problematic.

 

An alternative to using proprietary NFVI platforms is to focus the integration 
testing in the OPNFV, where open source versions of NFVI platforms are freely 
available  for testing with. Integrating/testing with these (currently 
RedHat/RDO, Ubuntu, Mirantis, and Huawei) can address probably the vast 
majority of issues in ONAP-NFVI interop, and a side benefit is that any gaps 
would be addressed in an open source space (avoiding  the temptation to address 
gaps by adding proprietary feature compatibility into ONAP). We are planning to 
drive ONAP-NFVI integration in OPNFV for that purpose over the current and next 
release. I will be giving a talk on this at the OPNFV Summit the week  after 
next, so invite any more detailed discussion on what’s planned.

 

Thanks,

Subject: [onap-tsc] Usage of commercial VNF and NFVI+VIM solutions for ONAP R1 
use cases, and open lab

 

Dear TSC members,

 

It is very exciting to see the great momentum and grow in the ONAP community, I 
hear that there is different opinion / debate with regard to whether release 1 
of ONAP should  be using commercial VNFs & NFVI+VIM’s solutions for the 
implementation of the proposed use cases and open lab / integration in release 
1 or should it be strictly limited to use only open source. I would suggest 
that the TSC will consider the following before  making a decision:

 

As it was agreed by both the TSC and the wider ONAP community, using real life 
use case like the proposed VoLTE and vCPE use cases for release 1 is very 
important to ensure that  ONAP is built from day 1 in a way that will provide 
close implementation to a real-life use case which can provide proper 
foundation to use ONAP in commercial deployment, and implementation of real 
life use case can have a great contribution to the success  of this project.

 

ONAP as orchestration / MANO project require NFVI+VIMs (clouds) to run on, and 
VNFs to run to create the services. The use of commercial NFVI+VIMs and VNFs 
for the use case implementation  and open lab / integration can have a big 
positive impact on our ability to be as close as possible to a real-life usage 
scenario. Limiting the usage *to only open source* solutions will limit 
dramatically the ability to get there. Not saying we should  not use open 
source VNFs and NFVI+VIMs, but I hope we wouldn’t limit ourselves to only open 
source VNFs & NFVI+VIM in the open lab / integration lab and for the release 1 
use cases, same like we would not limit yourself to only use open source 
hardware.

 

I hope this can be considered, and thanks for your consideration.
