DCAE Cloudify Manager Chart

This chart is used to deploy a containerized version of Cloudify Manager, the orchestration tool used by DCAE. DCAE uses Cloudify Manager ("CM") to deploy the rest of the DCAE platform as well to deploy DCAE monitoring and analytics services dynamically, in response to network events such as VNF startups.

Deployment of CM is the first of two steps in deploying DCAE into ONAP. After this chart brings up CM, a second chart (the "bootstrap" chart) installs some plugin extensions onto CM and uses CM to deploy some DCAE components.

Prerequisites

The chart requires one Kubernetes secret to be available in the namespace where it is being deployed:

  • <namespace_name>-docker-registry-key, the docker registry secret needed to pull images from the Docker repository. This is the same secret used by other OOM charts.

DCAE Namespace

DCAE will use CM deploy a number of containers into the ONAP Kubernetes cluster. In a production environment, DCAE's dynamic deployment of monitoring and analytics services could result in dozens of containers being launched. This chart allows the configuration, through the dcae_ns property in the values.yaml of a separate namespace used by CM when it needs to deploy containers into Kubernetes. If dcae_ns is set, this chart will:

  • create the namespace.
  • create the Docker registry key secret in the namespace.
  • create some Kubernetes Services (of the ExternalName type) to map some addresses from the common namespace into the DCAE namespace.

Use of Consul

DCAE uses Consul to store configuration data for DCAE components. In R1, DCAE deployed its own Consul cluster. In R2, DCAE will use the Consul server deployed by OOM.
