Supports SO NFVO function Microservice plugin capabilities, leveraging MSB, SpringBoot and Kubernetes,  for hosting NFVO function components by configuration. So, the SO NFVO can be customized in a future by operators.

Note: In Guilin, it is partially supported. All the above strikeout features will be supported in the next release.

• Supports for substitution of existing function plugins

• • Supports registration of a new substitution Microservice with version control (leverage a mechanism like AAI ESR)
  • supports plug-in mechanism of substitution Microservices
  • Dynamic dispatching/launching plugin instances based on configuration/policy
• Supports for extension of existing function plugins

• • Default function plugin extension with version control
  • Dynamic dispatching/launching an extended plugin instance based on configuration/policy
• Test Service Discovery
• Test Inter-Service Communication (for Guilin, SOL003 Adapter)

Note: we are not building the Microservice service registration, aggregation, discovery and routing engine itself, but we are leveraging the engine's capability (e.g., MSB, API Fabric, Kong, or Kubernetes & service discovery) to offer configuration of NFVO Microservice components access. 

In Guilin, the following will be supported

• Configures Microservice registration
  • The following default function Microservices will be plugged in:

    • NS Resource Infra Management (RIM) Manager
    • MultiCloud Adapter (in Guilin, reuse of ONAP SO MultiCloud Adapter)
