Network Discovery

for POMBA and other Use Cases

SDNC Working Group

June 13 2018
High-level Use Case

Discovery of data from primary data sources (outside of ONAP) for use to help improve
• data quality
• information complexness

In Casablanca, we will be providing data to POMBA

Network Resource Discovery
The goal is to provide a building block to enable discovering data from primary data sources (those outside
of ONAP)
• Network Resources
• Overlay, Underlay and between data centre
• Eventually be model-driven, self-service onboarding leveraging SDC
• Discover specific network resource
• Keep complex modeling and stitching to higher-level code

• Initial support for REST-based interfaces, can be expanded to other protocols

• Uses an A&AI enrichment Microservice, but the discovery API and use case driven from SDNC
• Same Microservice used to support other use cases, but this is out of scope.

Network Discovery API
Generic API that can be used for POMBA and other Use Cases
René Robert from Orange asked helpful questions and provided feedback, which I have started to
incorporate.

How to support Multi-VIM
Potential Roadmap Items
• Multi-VIM Adapter, when appropriate
• Fully model-driven network discovery, including on-boarding using
SDC
• Reuse of enrichment means invest once and both features can be model-
driven
• Reconciliation of data
• Policy driven
• Updating of data sources or raising alarms based on report findings
Next Steps
• Providing POMBA Session next week in face to face meeting
• POMBA piece being added to Logging Project
• Architecture committee agreed it could be brought in front of TSC for approval of scope
change
• Will call separate weekly meetings
• Will start discussions with A&AI shortly
• Network Discovery piece targeted for SDNC working group
• Present to working group
• Epic and User Story drafted
• Resources lined up to do work
• Looking for thumbs up from working group
• Additional help reviewing or providing supporting content always welcome

POMBA Value
POMBA enables:
To improve ONAP automation efficiency
To improve manual virtualization efficiency
To improve migration to the NFV orchestration environment
By
Event-driven auditing of the operational data integrity across NFV orchestration environment and NFV infrastructure
using model driven approach
Reporting to the Operations a list of discrepancies between:
the initial service type model intents
the service instance-related data stored in the ONAP controllers
The resulted service instance components attributes in the NFVI
The A&AI records
