TOSCA Native Service Orchestration DesignDeWayne Filppi, Cloudify

Agenda

• Declarative vs Imperative Approaches• Brief TOSCA Concept Review• Service Orchestration Modeling• ONAP Service Orchestration Modeling• R1 Review• R2 and Beyond

3

Declarative vs Imperative : The false choice

• Declarative separates what from how• Declarative defines a model (what) and an orchestrator (how)• Model provides enough info for orchestrator to remain generic• Pros

- The allure of no coding- Orchestrator implementation hidden- Simple versionable artifact(s)- Designer focus on value/solution

• Examples: HOT, CloudFormation, TOSCA, Kubernetes, Docker Compose, etc...

4

TOSCA Concepts

• Defines modeler and orchestrator roles• Object modeling basis ( Java like )• Binds models to implementations (APIs)• Imperative workflows in orchestrator interpret runtime model instance

TOSCA Concepts - Types

• Types can be viewed as OO classes• Concrete instances are called nodes• Service templates/models consists of nodes and relationships• Types are defined by:

- A name- Optional properties- Runtime properties (attributes)- Interfaces (the connection to type

specific imperative processing)- Requirements & Capabilities /

Relationships

web_app: type: WebApp properties: port: 9090 requirements: - host: web_server interfaces: Standard: configure: scripts/configure.sh start: scripts/start.sh stop: scripts/stop.sh

6

TOSCA Concepts - Interfaces & Operations

• Nodes can have behavior ( imperative )• Interfaces are the means. Interfaces have:

- Names (e.g. tosca.interfaces.Standard )- Operations, which have

• An operation name• A code reference (e.g. path to script)

• Workflows recognize interfaces

TOSCA Concepts - Relationships

• Relationships can be implicit or explicit• Types in their own right• Used by workflows to order operations• Used to execute arbitrary code

TOSCA Concepts - Service Templates

• Service templates are node graphs ( DAGs)

• Service templates can define inputs/parameters

• Service instances are created from the combination of inputs and service templates

• Service instances have runtime state (attributes)

TOSCA Service Orchestration Modeling

• Higher level than VNF modeling• “Plane” thinking meets traversal orientation

- Data plane- Control plane- Infrastructure “plane”- Networking “plane”- App “plane”

• Critical consideration for ONAP

10

TOSCA Service Orchestration Modeling

• TOSCA implicitly defines a designer role

• Opposing pressures: what is visible to designer vs what does platform supply

• TOSCA capable of modeling arbitrary level

• Long running processes

TOSCA Service Orchestration in ONAP

• TOSCA typically models APIs as components- Nouns are types- Adjectives are properties- Verbs are operations

• ONAP has many APIs, and many potential types/components- SNDC, OF, MultiVIM, APPC, AAI,

etc…• Naive approach: TOSCA types

for everything

TOSCA Service Orchestration in ONAP

Naive Approach Problems• Exposes internals

- Knowledge problem- Binding problem

• AAI connected to all• SDNC & OF need entire

template as input

13

Realistic TOSCA Service Orchestration in ONAP

• Need orchestrations that are correct but designable• Designer shouldn’t have to care about ONAP internals• Hiding places:

- Base types- TOSCA Orchestrator Workflows- Behind the scenes BPMN- Other ONAP internal code (e.g. adapters)

14


• AAI Hiding- AAI interactions are ubiquitous- Service instance creation

• First step in SO service orchestration• Adapter, BPMN, or TOSCA workflow hiding

- MultiVIM interactions• Either in MultiVIM, or in TOSCA base types

• SDNC/OF Hiding- Requires complete TOSCA model as input- Adapter, BPMN, or TOSCA workflow hiding

• MultiVIM : TOSCA base types• APPC & others: TOSCA base types

15


TOSCA ONAP base types in depth• A base type provides interfaces workflows recognize

- An interface for AAI related components might include operations• register• unregister• with default implementations

• A base type provides common properties- A base type for APPC might include connection information (with defaults)

• A VNF base type would have properties common to all VNFs- User supplied config via template inputs

• MultiVIM types include IAAS basics (image, instance, network, etc..)

ONAP R2 SO TOSCA

Full Integration With Core BPMN• Approach: Post SDNC/OF fork• Implications:

- ONAP Base types for AAI, MultiVIM, APPC- Python APPC/DMaaP API- SDC ONAP Base type integration (potentially)- SDNC & OF ONAP types recognition/compatibility- SO/ARIA BPMN recognition and handoff (via inputs)

• includes mapping tenant info to ARIA template names & processing outputs- ONAP aware workflows (at least install/uninstall)- DCAE init ( BPMN or TOSCA workflow )- Enhance/complete ARIA REST API, improve microservice impl

• Minimum proof of work: pure TOSCA vCPE install/uninstall

20

ONAP SO TOSCA Trajectory

• Validate/explore via other use/edge cases• Track MultiVIM enhancements to true multi-cloud• Enhance ARIA container for use as Kubernetes service• Enhance ARIA availability/failure recovery• Healing/Scaling/CLAMP integration• Day 2+ custom workflow support• Downstream/southbound BPMN operation invocation
