-**Design Time Framework** - a comprehensive development environment with
-tools, techniques, and repositories for defining/describing resources,
-services, and products:
-
- - Service Design and Creation (SDC) provides tools, techniques, and
- repositories to define/simulate/certify system assets as well as their
- associated processes and policies.
-
- - A VNF Software Development Kit (VNFSDK) with tools for VNF supplier
- packaging and validation.
-
- - Policy Creation (POLICY) deals with conditions, requirements,
- constraints, attributes, or needs that must be provided, maintained,
- and/or enforced.
-
- - Closed Loop Automation Management Platform (CLAMP) provides a method
- for designing and managing control loops.
-
-**Runtime Framework** - The runtime execution framework executes the
-rules and policies distributed by the design and creation environment
-and Controllers that manage resources corresponding to their assigned
-controlled domain:
-
- - Service Orchestrator (SO) executes the specified BPMN processes and automates
- sequences of activities, tasks, rules and policies needed for on-demand
- creation, modification or removal of network, application or infrastructure
- services and resources. SO is especially able to drive any OpenStack-based cloud platform.
-
- - Software Defined Network Controller (SDNC) executes network configuration for
- cloud computing resources and network.
-
- - Application Controller (APPC) executes Virtual Network Functions (VNF) configurations and lifecycle
- management operations.
-
- - Virtual Function Controller (VF-C) is responsible for lifecycle management of virtual network functions
- and network services based on VNF using VNF Manager.
-
- - Active and Available Inventory (A&AI) provides real-time views of a
- system’s resources, services, products and their relationships with each
- other.
-
-**Closed-Loop Automation** -- Design -> Create -> Collect -> Analyze >
-Detect -> Publish -> Respond:
-
- - Data Collection, Analytics and Events (DCAE) collects events, performance,
- usage and publishes information to policy that executes the rules to perform
- closed loop actions.
-
- - Holmes provides alarm correlation and analysis for Telecom cloud
- infrastructure and services, including servers, cloud infrastructure,
- VNFs and Network Services.
-
- - Common Services - operational services for all ONAP components including
- activity logging, reporting, common data layer, access control, resiliency,
- and software lifecycle management.
