Refer to :doc:`Architecture <./architecture/pieces>` -for more information. - -Cloudify Blueprints -------------------- - -YAML formatted file used by Cloudify to deploy platform and service -components. Contains all the information needed for installation. - -Consul ------- - -Opensource Platform Component that supports Service Discovery, -Configuration, and Healthcheck. Refer to -:doc:`Architecture <./architecture/pieces>` for more information. - -Component ---------- - -Refers to a DCAE service component which is a single micro-service that -is written to be run by the DCAE platform and to be composeable to form -a DCAE service. That composition occurs in the SDC. - -Config Binding Service ----------------------- - -DCAE Platform Component - Service Components use Config Binding Service -to access Consul and retrieve configuration variables. - -Component Specification ------------------------ - -JSON formatted file that fully describes a component and its interfaces - -Data Format / Data Format Specification ---------------------------------------- - -JSON formatted file that fully describes a components input or output - -dcae_cli Tool -------------- - -Tool used for development and testing. It validates the component and -data format specifications against their respective schemas and provides -the capability to view platform generated configuration for the -component. - -Deployment Handler ------------------- - -DCAE Platform Component - talks to -Cloudify to deploy components. - -Design-Time ------------ - -Refers to when the System Designer uses the SDC Tool to compose services -from components in the SDC catalog. The Designer can provide input to -assign/override defaults for configuration for any parameter with the -property ‘designer_editable’ set to ‘true’. - -Deploy-Time ------------ - -Refers to when a service is being deployed. This can be done -automatically via the SDC Tool, or manually via the DCAE Dashboard or -CLAMP UI. When manually deployed, DevOps can provide input to -assign/override defaults for configuration for any parameter with the -property ‘sourced_at_deployment’ set to ‘true’. - -Docker ------- - -Opensource Platform for development of containerized applications in the -cloud. Many DCAE service components and all DCAE collectors are written -utilizing Docker. - -Dmaap ------ - -A data transportation service platform that supports message-based -topics and file-based feeds. Runs locally at the Edge and Centrally. - -Inventory ---------- - -DCAE Platform Component - Postgres DB containing Cloudify Blueprints for -platform and service components. - -Onboarding catalog ------------------- - -Catalog used exclusively by the dcae_cli tool during development and -testing. Contains validated components and data_formats to be used among -developers during development and testing. - -Policy (not yet implemented) ----------------------------- - -Refers to the setting of configuration parameters for a component, by -Operations via the Policy UI. - -Policy Handler (not yet implemented) ------------------------------------- - -DCAE Platform Component that received Policy updates from Policy UI - -Policy UI (not yet implemented) -------------------------------- - -Non DCAE Component - Policy User Interface where Operations assigns -values to configuration specified for this. - -Run-Time --------- - -Refers to the when a service is running on the platform. - -SCH - Service Change Handler ----------------------------- - -DCAE Platform Component - Receives updates from SDC and updates -Inventory - -SDC - Service Design and Creation - (formerly ASDC) ---------------------------------------------------- - -Tool used by Service Designers to compose services from SDC catalog -artifacts. Once services are created, Cloudify Blueprints can be -generated to deployment and installation. - -SDC Catalog ------------ - -Catalog of composable Components and Data Formats to be used in the SDC -Tool to create services. Currently, there is no access to the SDC -Catalog from the dcae_cli tool. Artifacts are manually placed there -after testing. Every catalog artifact has a ``UUID``, a globally unique -identifier that identifies that artifact. - -Self-Service ------------- - -Refers to services that are supported by SDC, and that are automatically -installed as a result of a Service Designer’s composition and submission -of a service. Only a handful of services are ‘self-service’ currently. -Most require manual effort to generate the Tosca Model files and -Cloudify Blueprints. - -Service Component ------------------ - -Microservice that provides network monitoring or analytic function on -the DCAE platform. - -Service -------- - -Generally composed of multiple service components, which is deployed to -the DCAE platform. - -Tosca Model ------------ - -Model generated from validately component specification, (stored in SDC -catalog for Self-Service components), and used as input to generate -Cloudify Blueprints - -VNF - Virtualized Network Function ----------------------------------- - -A network function that runs on one or more virtualized machines. |
