-Roles
-=====
-
-
-Here is master list of all roles involved in ECOMP with DCAE:
-
-- System engineer
-
-- Component developer/expert - components are also referred to as
- micro-services but include collectors, analytics
-
-- Designer
-
-- Tester
-
-- Operations
-
-- Platform developer
-
-- Manager
-
-
-System engineer
----------------
-
-Person who knows the high-level technical requirements for DCAE's
-upcoming release cycle and dictates the development needs. This person
-is responsible for the service assurance flows. This person expresses
-the nodes and connections of a flow at a high level in a new graph or an
-existing graph and assigns nodes to component developer/experts to be
-implemented.
-
-This person must know:
-
-- What newly added flows should look like at a high level
-
-- What changes that are needed to existing flows
-
-- Target environments/sites/locations that need the flows at what SLA
-
-- Data requirements e.g. volume, rate, format, retention
-
-This person creates a top-level representation of the flow and assigns
-the pieces to developers or experts for implementation.
-
-
-Component developer/expert
---------------------------
-
-Person who is responsible for defining an assigned node's subgraph.
-This person can be:
-
-- A developer who might be onboarding a new component or a new version
- of an existing component to fulfill the system engineer's
- requirements
-
-- A domain expert who selects a suitable existing component, wires and
- configures. This expert knows the intricacies of a class of
- components (e.g. Acumos machine learning).
-
-Developers
-----------
-
-They must know:
-
-- The target DCAE runtime and can develop a component to successfully
- run on the runtime
-
-- The DCAE onboarding process for components including the development
- testing procedure
-
-- Best practices of data flow management (data provenance?)
-
-- Lifecycle of DCAE components specifically impact of changes to
- existing running instances globally
-
-- The resource requirement of the developed component
-
-Experts
--------
-
-They must know:
-
-- The target DCAE runtime
-
-- The technical capabilities of a set of components in order to best
- select
-
-- The technical needs of the set of components in order to properly
- configure and connect
-
-Designer
---------
-
-
-Person who is responsible for connecting remote nodes to flows and
-configuring all nodes in a flow in the context of the flow and in the
-context of the greater graph. An example of the former is connecting a
-flow with a collector to a black boxed vMME. An example of the latter
-is assigning the threshold to a threshold-crossing-analytics component
-when it is connected to a specific VES collector who is connected to a
-specific vMME.
-
-This person knows:
-
-- The VNFs to monitor and the technical details to correctly connect
- with them
-
-- Enough about the capability of a component and understands the
- characteristics and requirements of a flow to properly
- assign designer_editable configuration parameters
-
-This person has the ability to promote flows through the development
-process (i.e. FTL to IST to ETE) and will coordinate with testers to
-make sure the progression happens.
-
-Tester
-------
-
-Person who is responsible for testing a promoted new flow or newly
-edited flow. Once the designer has promoted a flow to a tester's
-environment, the tester will have ready access to the deployment
-artifacts necessary to apply the runtime changes that will reflect the
-flow design and verify the resulting functionality matches to the system
-engineer's expectations.
-
-Person knows and owns a DCAE runtime.
-
-Read access to the design tool would be useful for troubleshooting.
-
-
-Operations
-----------
-
-Person who is responsible that DCAE both platform and service assurance
-flows are all operational in production environments and locations.
-Once a flow has been fully certified, the required deployment artifact
-is provided to operations and operations is responsible for applying the
-runtime changes to reflect the flow design.
-
-Person knows and owns a DCAE runtime.
-
-Read access to the design tool would be useful for troubleshooting.
-
-
-
-Manager
--------
-
-
-Person who are accountable to the business of the successful delivery of
-a set of service assurance flows. Read access to the design tool
-specifically high level reports are useful to understand if goals are
-being met and to better measure project success.
-
-Platform developer
-------------------
-
-
-Person who is responsible for the development of the DCAE platform which
-ranges from onboarding, design, and runtime. In the scope of onboarding
-and design, they are also responsible (unless there's an internal
-operational team) for the operational concerns which means the tooling
-built in this effort will need to be continually supported.
-Their **users** are all the above. The design tool is intended to span
-across multiple environments thus must run where all the required
-parties have access.
