Purpose:

• Support deploying VM and Containerized workloads (VNFs) in K8S based Cloud regions.

Dublin Scope:

• Support Helm chart based deployment.
• Show case using vFirewall use case and EdgeXFoundry use case
• Show case hybrid model (where firewall as a container, traffic generator and sink as VMs)

Activities/Impacts:

• SDC to support K8S Helm charts as artifacts in VNF CSAR                      [ARCHCOM:Y]
• SDC to support multiple cloud technology artifacts in one VNF CSAR.   [ARCHCOM:Y]

• • Note:  This is the case where the same VNF executable can run in different cloud environments.
• VNF SDK to support the validation of VFND based on Helm changes and also a VNFD supporting multiple cloud technologies [ARCHCOM:Y]
• VNF Requirements to describe requirements on a VNFD CSAR     [ARCHCOM:Y]
• SO to be made independent of Cloud technology.                        [ARCHCOM:Y]
• SO to pass userParams of 'createVNF' NB API to Multi-Cloud.      [ARCHCOM:Y]
• CLI and VID to take userParams as input from the user                 [ARCHCOM:Y]
• Testing SO ability to bypass assignment functionality in SDNC     [ARCHCOM:Y]
• Ensure (fix any gaps) needed to put information of containers in A&AI such as IP address assigned to it,  VNF instance ID returned by Multi-Cloud.   [ARCHCOM:Y]
• Multi-Cloud
  • SDC Client for artifact distribution.                                       [ARCHCOM:Y]
  • Helm based implementation                                                [ARCHCOM:Y]
  • Upgrade functionality (Change management)                     [Stretch, more work to be done]
  • Finish R3 functionality (OVN, Helm,  VNF environments etc..) [ARCHCOM:Y]
• Testing to Ensure that current closed loop (with vFirewall) works end-to-end.
• Testing to Ensuring that change management functionality continues to work.

Assumptions:

• Bare-metal K8S deployments.
• VM based K8S based deployment (but not auto creation)
• Cluster level isolation is not in scope.
• Only supports Helm based description of VNF
• TOSCA based VNF description is out of scope

SDC:  new template

SO: new interface to bla bla
