Experience Sharing of Trustworthiness Improvement In ONAP Development
Presentation + discussion
Introduction Huawei open source team's effort in assuring code and docker security by apdoting open source tools in development, such as coverity and anchore.
How ONAP is going to handle VNF Application Configuration? As ONAP is already introducing SOL003 and SOL005, it is worth introducing SOL002 as well. I will present work that Samsung has done as part of the internal demo + discussion about the future of Application LCM interfaces in ONAP.
What should be the ONAP TSC Priorities for the next 6 months?
Discussion
This session is dedicated to identify what would be the top 3 priorities of the TSC in order to support the ONAP Community, to improve any process/toolchain gaps and to build an execution plan accordingly.
Feel free to create new TSC tasks in JIRA under "ONAP TSC" project
Virtual Radio Area Network (vRAN) is a critical piece for upcoming 5G networks. In this demo, we will show you how to build the FlexRAN (an open source vRAN approximation VNF from Intel), onboard it onto ONAP and then deploy it onto OpenStack. Once the service is deployed, the FlexRAN service performs basic operations in a simulated environment.
This session gives developers an opportunity to discuss the strengths, weaknesses, areas that can be improved, and areas that threaten project failures. The focus here is on developer issues such as but not limited to languages, coding, processes, tools, methods, project structures. The result of this session could be a report for the steering committee of projects.
One suggestion would be to run this session using a technique such as SWOT analysis but that's only one suggestion. The format of the session and the reporting done from the session is at the discretion of the participants on the day.
AAI Data Model / Visualization Tools / Graph Traversals
Presentation and demo
We will look at the AAI data model and some of the visualization tooling that is being developed around it. We'll look at AAI custom queries that allow for easy traversals of the graph database, and touch on new features for even more flexible traversals slated for future releases.
In this session, we will present what XCI is, how it was started, what it achieved, and where it is going. We will also have a discussion around XCI in LFN context and address any questions community members have.
Experiences in switching to Alpine Linux and upgrading to Java 11
Presentation + discussion
This session would cover two experiences sharing topics, that is gathered in working at Policy Framework but can be applied anywhere:
Switching docker base image from ubuntu to apline, that would reduce footprint signicantly .
Investigation result about upgrade Java 11 from Java 8, that is tricker than most upgrades. We have to face some challenges, like: some modules were removed or deprecated, we need to find the replacements; IDEs, plugins and tools also need to be updated; some new features are introduced, etc.
Meanwhile it would be also great to listen to your opinions.
ONAP Platform with network security as an application
Presentation + discussion
Looking into security of the managed environment, this could be represented as a 3rd party application using ONAP. The questions to explore are: how does a 3rd party application use ONAP? What are the options and approaches?
Demonstrate use of the SO multicloud plugin adapter to instantantiate workloads via Multicloud – showing how HPA policies can be utilized and also deployment to Kubernetes cloud regions. Discuss API, feature/functionality work items, integration, etc.
Present the work done about PNF software upgrade using Ansible, and propose the enhancement roadmap for El Alto, such as: 1. SO workflow 2. Query and update A&AI 3. Northbound API 4. Ansible management API 5. etc.
This is a discussion session intended to host a dedicated discussion on implementation options on how to enable end-to-end 5G slicing as part of ONAP automated service provisioning/operation. Gaps in contexts of different options will be discussed for corresponding planning.
Improve ONAP tests and remove specific use-cases artifacts from ONAP components code
Presentation+discussion
Improve ONAP tests and verify that every pod is using in one or more end-to-end use-case or test cases.
Improve use-case documentation to explain the list of components used per use-case (by use-case owner)
Detail for each use-case the list of pods involved for every use-case (by PTL)
Remove use-case code/artifcats from the ONAP components code and create dedicated repos for the use-case gathering all the artifacts to be used for a use-case
No Kubernetes cluster should stay vulnerable. Easiest way of ensuring that is to use an automated assessment tool. Session will cover current approaches for this task as well as gather ONAP requirements for such utility.
Not all ONAP container images keep the binary content idempotent. In several cases additional runtime dependencies are downloaded after container starts. Consequences and possible solutions will be discussed during this session.
The goal of this session is to present ONAP SECCOM Scope of Work proposal and discuss with stakeholders feasibility, time line and responsibilities for:
Using dockherhub's public registry for CI/CD builds
Presentation +
Discussion
A new porposal to use dockerhub's own docker registry to store the Ci/CD/daily docker images builds as opposed to other implementations. Dicusssions around reliability, outreach of the registry, speed of new feature adoptions (like multi-architecture support) and daily performance.
We will have a short presentation on what Lab as a Service is, where we are today, and how we plan to proceed. We want to have time to discuss the LaaS project proposal with the community and answer any questions.
The LaaS team is not able to attend, so this will have to be a remote session.
Robot Testing Enhancements in Dublin and Plans for El Alto
Presentation + Discussion
A presentation of enhancements in testsuite/robot done in Dublin in dealing with dynamic service mapping, dynamic preload and new tags added to ete-k8s.sh for deployment validation. A discussion of the migration from python 2.7 to python 3.0 that has already started in the master branch for El Alto and discussion of other enhancements and changes in robot in El Alto
Certificate management and Secure Storage discussion
Discussion
With the introduction of mTLS for the Dublin release, there have been troubles with proper certificate handling with external CA support and secure storage. As a result, some ONAP projects ended up using self-signed certificates insecurely. A centralized solution for secure storage and KMS that ONAP projects easily can integrate with is important for future release.
It would be good for the community to get clear guidelines from SECCOM which solution we will target in long term and for Frankfurt. Hopefully, the Secret Management Services (AAF-subproject) could share a status update. AAF PTL needs to be involved in the discussion for this session to make any sense. Possible solution could be to use SoftHSMv2 or AAF File Server for centralized storage of secrets.
Additional topic would be to further discuss certificate management and the need for introduction of CMPv2 support.
Many ONAP components have developed their own data models independently to fill their own needs. As the complexity of ONAP increases, there is a need not only to document these data models, but also to compare them, find commonalities, and create abstractions. One path to this is through reverse-engineering.
This session will present different considerations and techniques when reverse-engineering data models to a common notation, looking at specific examples. The intention is to discuss these
