Amsterdam Status The Amsterdam release was designed to unify seed code from OpenECOMP and OPEN-O (plus a few new projects) Based on the ONAP Charter and discussions last spring Minimized changes to allow on-time delivery Identified several open issues: Controller/orchestration layer alignment Better alignment between APP-C and VF-C Cloud-native, model-driven, microservices vision Platform maturity
Where We’re Going (Target Architecture)
Architecture Design Considerations Architecture Principles: https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Contributions?preview=/8225716/8232492/Architectural%20principles_v3.docx ONAP Target Goal is: Modular, Model-driven, Microservices-based architecture Models drive interfaces between layers/components Agree to unified modeling for integration across all modules: VES in DCAE, Logging & monitor inside ONAP and more ONAP is a layered architecture – Orchestration, Multi-Cloud, Controller, etc. Functional role of each layer should be well defined ONAP should support integrated design studio to capture full lifecycle management models ONAP Should Support Cloud Agnostic Model and Multi-Cloud adaption layer while hiding infrastructure details ONAP should define well-described and consistent NB-APIs at all layers Keep flexible capability for commercial solution (no vendor lock-in) ARC charterted “tiger team” to develop long-term target

Long-term, think of each function as one or more microservices. Interconnection driven by modeling, recipes, not code. Make if flexible to add new components in the future.

Future Considerations Functions as microservices Recursive/hierarchical functions East-west (federation) vs. north-south (delegation) Common & consistent information/data models Platform improvements Storage, logging, parsers, etc. HA and platform resiliency features Security enhancements (e.g., certificate/secret storage)
How We’ll Get There (Beijing)
Process Beijing architecture starts with the Amsterdam (1.0.0) version The theme of the release is “platform maturity”. Beijing architecture changes must improve S3P metrics. HA/Resiliency features Common services (storage, logging, parsers, etc.) Incremental progress towards the target architecture. Team identifying steps to take us from current state to future state. Beijing release will make a down payment, balancing current resources, new features, and platform maturity priorities.
ONAP Beijing Architecture (High-Level View with Projects) Draft 12/8 Modeling (Utilities) Integration VNF Requirements VNF Validation Program New projects to be added following TSC approval ARC review: Jan 5, TSC approval: Feb 15
Next Steps Tiger Team will provide recommendation to ARC by 1/5 Meeting with key PTLs (this week) TSC approval of new projects (this week) ARC will also discuss/refine platform capabilities through M1 See SW architecture session later today Please provide feedback through ARC calls (Tuesdays) ARC to present Beijing architecture for TSC approval by 2/8 (M2) Locked down, with only minor editing after M1 (1/18) After M2, ARC will focus on Casablanca+
