- - 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 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.
-
- - Software Defined Network Controller (SDNC) network configuration of
- cloud computing resources.
-
- - Application Controller (APPC) Application resources.
-
- - Virtual Function Controller (VF-C) provides an ETSI NFV compliant NFV-O
- functions, and is responsible for life cycle management of virtual services
- and the associated physical COTS server infrastructure.
-
- - 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 performance,
- usage, and configuration data and publishes information to policy,
- orchestration, and the data lake.
