MANO in OPNFV: Guiding Perspectives and Goals Given resources, OPNFV has proven to be open to integrating diverse/competing/pre-converged solutions for NFV MANO in OPNFV should follow that model for any project that wants to collaborate with OPNFV as a framework or component Open-O, OSM, OpenBaton, Aria, Cloudify, Tacker, JuJu, OpenECOMP As we are gaining initial experience integrating lower-layer MANO stack components (e.g. VNFMs in the Models project), we are collecting perspectives and seeking consensus on key aspects of MANO, e.g. VNF Onboarding OPNFV priorities, e.g. VNF portability, and consistent user experience embracing implementation diversity / deviation from ETSI MANO model Upper MANO stack hot-swappability / plug and play interop with VIMs 16/11/2018 State of MANO in OPNFV

History and Roadmap of MANO in OPNFV Arno/Brahmaputra focused on the NFVI exclusively. As of Colorado, we began integrating upper MANO functions mainly as test tools (e.g. the Tacker VNFM for the SFC project). As of Danube we will integrate VNFMs etc as components of the OPNFV platform. As we proceed up the MANO stack, the complexity of integrating these components in a consistent/interoperable way may increase, so we are taking a step-wise approach to integrating them.

Moving up the MANO Stack from OPNFV VIM is Multi-modal The process of assessing/integrating MANO in OPNFV will involve multiple parallel efforts with different focuses. The MANO WG links below will document progress on those efforts.

View of Working Groups and Projects in MANO Scope Summary of projects identified so far as having some specific relation to the scope of MANO Project/WG Focus and Approach MANO WG Collaboration: provide a common discussion forum for MANO related projects, to optimize interaction (e.g. reduce number of discrete meetings, enable global participation). Models Assess and advise: for the various MANO solutions, assess how they approach the goals through their documentation and experience integrating their components (e.g. VNFM) into OPNFV and Functest. Based upon the assessment, provide feedback and advice on opportunities for convergence, and initiate related work upstream per consensus on priorities. In the process, document the degree of convergence, e.g. in data models for services/VNFs and components that leverage/fulfill them. Domino Develop: support service/VNF blueprint distribution across diverse NFVI environments, to provide flexibility in how services/VNFs are distributed and adapted to those environments Parser Develop: tools for translation between various information and data model formats Copper Develop: configuration policy modeling and management VES Develop: common data model for telemetry collection from VNFs and NFVI 16/11/2018 State of MANO in OPNFV

Comparing Colorado OPNFV Framework & evolving MANO OPNFV has been focused on NFVI so far, which is more easily mapped to the ETSI NFV architecture. As upper MANO stack components are integrated, we can expect the diversity of those components to blur boundaries/roles of the ETSI-referenced elements e.g. NFVO, VNFM, EMS, OSS/BSS, ... Some convergence toward the ETSI architectural model may occur over time, but that is not an explicit or first-order goal of more fully integrating MANO functions into OPNFV. 16/11/2018 State of MANO in OPNFV
