| VID Architecture |
| ================= |
| VID provides a well-structured organization of infrastructure deployment, |
| instantiation and change-management operations used by Operations to derive orchestrations and change-management. |
| |
| |
| Scope |
| ------ |
| - Invoke instantiation of a Service and all of its sub-components (e.g. |
| VNF/VF, VNFC/VFC, Modules, Deployment Flavor, etc). |
| - Invoke instantiation and creation of cloud logical environment (e.g. |
| tenants). |
| - Integration with Operations ticketing system for instantiation and |
| change-management ordering requests. |
| - Instantiation |
| |
| - Instantiation modes. |
| |
| - Macro orchestration. |
| - A la carte orchestration. |
| |
| - Choose target instantiation environment (e.g. multi-clouds, |
| testing environment, etc.). |
| |
| - Check availability of already-created and reserved cloud |
| resources. |
| - Invoke the creations of cloud resources. |
| |
| - Customize Service and VNF/VF to fit a current instantiation. |
| |
| - Based on SDC Design specific assignments. |
| |
| - Feedback on instantiation process according to the instantiation |
| workflow. |
| |
| - Ability to invoke maintenance operations on an unsuccessful |
| instantiation. |
| |
| - Change-management |
| |
| - Integration with inventory (A&AI) to retrieve current deployed |
| Services. |
| - Agnostic and specific change-management workflows derived from SDC |
| Service and VNF/VF models. |
| - |
| |
| - Invoke a CM for a given Service and VNF/VF. |
| - invoke a CM for monitoring-templates (MTs: control-loops). |
| - invoke a CM for policy changes |
| - Invoke a CM for license changes |
| - etc.. |
| |
| - Ability to operate on a workflow (e.g. actions as stop, start, |
| restart, resume). |
| - Ability to schedule a workflow |
| |
| - notify |
| - automatic instantiation upon reaching the scheduled time. |
| |
| - Invoke Security, Load and performance test on a given Service and |
| VNF/VF. |
| - Collaboration |
| |
| - Project/Admin dashboard (include user management, VNF/VF and |
| Services relevant to the project). |
| |
| - Interfaces: |
| |
| - SDC - get models |
| - A&AI - get current deployment (inventory) |
| - MSO - invoke instantiation and change-management. |
| - BYO Scheduler - set/get schedule |
