Sweetcomb: Unified Management Interface and Integration

Sweetcomb is an open source project, to provide an unified management interface to configure and telemetry Appliances, VNFs and CNFs.

It can be leveraged in Edge Networking and Cloud, such as SD-WAN, 5G, IoT, etc.

There are 12 industry founders, including Intel, Cisco, Pantheon Technologies,  Huawei, Tencent, Alibaba, China Mobile etc.

It has published two official releases so far. https://wiki.fd.io/view/Sweetcomb

The architecture and the implementation of the ONAP Policy Framework was substantially upgraded in the ONAP Dublin release. In this talk, we present the evolved ONAP Policy Framework discussing the most important improvements, and describing the evolved architecture of the Policy Framework. We highlight the power of TOSCA Policy Types and how they can be used to build translation applications.

This session will introduce Sweetcomb project and cover key elements:

1) Provides gNMI interface and OpenConfig Yang models for Cloud.

2) Provides NETCONF & RESTCONF interfaces and IETF Yang models for Telecom.

3) Can Support different Data Planes, such as VPP, DPDK, Linux Kernel and OVS.

4) Can integrate with SDN Controllers and Orchestration, such as ONAP, K8s, ODL and ONOS, etc.

5) Supports High Availability and real-time streaming telemetry in Containers.

ONAP TSC Meeting

Experiences in switching to Alpine Linux and upgrading to Java 11

This session would cover two experiences sharing topics, that is gathered in working at Policy Framework but can be applied anywhere:

1. Switching docker base image from ubuntu to apline, that would reduce footprint signicantly . 
2. 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.

Robot Testing Enhancements in Dublin and Plans for El Alto

Certificate management and Secure Storage 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. 

Additional topic would be to further discuss certificate management and the need for introduction of CMPv2 support. 

Reverse engineering of data models -- how and why

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,  create abstractions, and define common principles. 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 start a discussion around the needs in the community and how to best fulfil them.

ONAP

Hello World Closed Loop (CDS and Policy aka APEX integration)

 A PoC has been progressed to explore CDS integration with APEX for a PNF closed loop. 

This activity has brought up interesting questions, possible requirements and next step proposals for further architectural exploration in the  area of policy framework and CLAMP. We are happy to share it in the comunity to open a discussion.

Evolution of LCM support in SO and controller for R6

For R6 it is proposed to extend LCM support in ONAP components as enabler for use cases such as PNF SW upgrade:

• General improvements to PNF support
• Introduce the CDS blueprint processor as option in the controller layer for handling of LCM actions

This session will look at bit closer at the problems and project impact

Documenting ONAP Architecture

Three best practices that will improve your container development experience

ONAP uses a number of different container base images and different versions of the same base images: 5 different versions of node, 9 different versions of openjdk and 13 different versions of Python across ONAP projects. This approach has led to duplication of efforts and inefficiencies, such as resource consumption, large footprint and long build times. Also, teams experience unnecessary pain when unexpected changes occur in upstream projects.

What if we adopted three best practices to tackle these issues together and increase re-usability, stability and security.

First, to exploit cross-project commonalities and increase re-usability, adopt a set of common base images, (onap/base-xxx) with a well-defined life cycle controlled by PTLs.

Second, to guarantee stability, setup a mirror of the Alpine Linux distribution that's locked during development cycles. Base images and libraries will remain stable during each development cycle and will only be updated in-between development cycles.

Third, let the security sub-committee proactively participate in the vetting of the OS distribution and base image in order to address any security concern before a development cycle starts.
