ASDC

The ECOMP resource catalog. We assume the existince and usage of ASDC, though for near term testing purposes, we use a mock version of the catalog. We assume all DCAE artifacts: components like collectors, CDAP applications, data formats (see below), etc, are onboarded and searchable in the catalog. Further, we assume that every catalog artifact has a ``UUID", a globally unique identifier that identifies that artifact.

Component

Refers to a DCAE service component which is a single micro-service that is written to be run by the DCAE platform and to be composeable to form a DCAE service.

Data format

Artifact that describes a data structure and schema.

Onboarding catalog

The onboarding catalog is the intermediary store for project details, component specifications and data formats. This is to be used by component developers through the dcae-cli to browse and to launch existing components and push their own component artifacts in preparation to move their component to the ASDC resource catalog.
