| MOD Objectives |
| ============== |
| |
| MOD stands for "micro-service onboarding and design" and the project is |
| an effort to reboot the onboarding and design experience in DCAE. |
| |
| |
| **Goals and Stretch Goals** |
| --------------------------- |
| |
| |
| - Due to resource constraints, there are mismatched capabilities between SDC/DCAE-DS and DCAE mS deployment. |
| |
| - Due to #1, mS developers upload handcrafted blueprint, and stay involved throughout the deployment process. This also ties mS development to specific Cloudify implementation. |
| |
| - There is no Service Assurance flow design in SDC/DCAE-DS, and so there are no reusable flow designs for the Service Designer. |
| |
| - There is extensive reliance on developers’ involvement in providing [Inputs.json] as runtime configurations for mS deployment. |
| |
| - There is no E2E tracking of the microservice lifecycle. |
| |
| |
| **To address these problems, the new DCAE MOD, replacing the mS onboarding & DCAE-DS in SDC, aims to -** |
| |
| |
| |
| - Move DCAE mS onboarding & design from SDC project to DCAE Project. |
| |
| - Provide simplified mS Onboarding, Service Assurance flow design, & mS microservice design time & runtime configurations to support developers, service designers, and operations. |
| |
| - Auto-generate blueprint at the end of the design process, not onboarded before the design process. |
| |
| - Support Policy onboarding & artifact distribution to Policy/CLAMP to support Self Service Control Loop. |
| |
| - Streamline the process of constructing to deploying flows, Provide the ability to track flows - capture and store the progress and evolution of flows and Provide clear coordination and accountability i.e Provide catalog & data for microservice lifecycle tracking. It fits the ECOMP's release process and must provide clear visibility along the entire process and across different environments. |
| |
| - Support automated adaptation of ML model from Acumos to DCAE design & runtime environment through the Acumos Adapter. |
| |
| - DCAE-MOD is developed by the DCAE team to ensure consistency across all DCAE implementation, with the long term objective to integrate with SDC as part of the Design Platform. |
| |
| - Integrate with ONAP User Experience portals (initially ONAP portal, later SDC portal). |
