10 The goal of the design process is to create all artifacts (models)
11 that are required to instantiate and manage resources, services,
12 and products on the ONAP platform. The design process requires
13 input from users with multiple roles.
15 Design progresses logically through a series of phases. Each phase:
17 * is organized into steps that are completed in sequence
19 * is accessed using a different role with specific responsibilities
20 generates artifacts that are used in other phases of design or when
21 instantiating or monitoring virtual functions.
23 The following figure show the different phases and tools involved in
24 Onboarding, Design and Distribution process.
28 **The "Core" Design Process includes the following steps:**
31 A VNF/PNF Provider delivers VNF descriptor, model and
32 artefacts (e.g. HEAT template), which will be validated
33 and packaged for onboarding to ONAP
35 * (Resource)-Onboarding
36 In the SDC a License Model is created, the VNF/PNF package imported
37 and a Vendor Software Product (VSP) is created
39 * VF Creation and Testing
40 A V(N)F, PNF or CR Model is created (a) import of a VSP or VFC
41 (b) manual creation and import of artefacts created via external
42 tools like the Controller Design Studio (CDS), responsible for the
43 Controller Blueprint Design
44 The created VF will pass a testing workflow to be used
48 A Service Model is created as a composition of resources
49 (e.g. V(N)Fs, PNFs,...), Policies, Workflows,...
50 The created Service Model will pass a testing workflow and
51 handed over to a Governance Approval and Distribution process
53 * Governance Approval and Distribution
54 The Service Provider will have a specific set of policies and
55 procedures for approving Services and deploying them in the
56 Runtime Service Catalog
58 **The optional/additional Design steps are:**
60 * Controller Blueprint Design
61 The Controller Blueprint is the overall service design, fully model-driven,
62 intent based package needed for self service provisioning and configuration
63 management automation. The framework to automate the resolution of resources
64 for instantiation and any config provisioning operation,
65 such as day0, day1 or day2 configuration.
66 It provides a tool called Controller Design Studio
69 The Policy Creation component deals with policies.
70 These are rules, conditions, requirements, constraints, attributes,
71 or needs that must be provided, maintained, and/or enforced.
72 At a lower level, Policy involves machine-readable rules enabling
73 actions to be taken based on triggers or requests.
75 * APPC Controller Design
76 APPC Controller Design Tool (CDT) is used for self-service onboarding of
77 VNF’s. VNF owners can create templates and other artifacts for APPC
78 Configure command (used to apply a post-instantiation configuration)
79 as well as other life cycle commands.
82 The purpose of the Workflow Designer is to enable designers to define or
83 modify workflows to support Service/Resource change management scenarios
84 executed by the Service Orchestrator.
87 This phase includes the Design of a closed loop template and associate it
88 to a Service. The template represents the theoretical flow of the CL.
89 It generates a deployment artifact that can be ingested by the DCAE in
90 order to create the needed DCAE microservices in runtime.
91 The design is done in the SDC DCAE-DS (Design Studio).
92 The DCAE Design Studio enables to define and configure
93 the monitoring flows of DCAE.
94 The configuration and deployment of a Control Loop will be done with
95 Control Loop Automation Management (CLAMP) tool.
