Abstract
--------

This document provides the release notes for the Frankfurt release.

Summary
-------

Following DCAE components are available with default ONAP/DCAE installation.

    - Platform components

        - Cloudify Manager (helm chart)
        - Bootstrap container (helm chart)
        - Configuration Binding Service (helm chart)
        - Deployment Handler (helm chart)
        - Policy Handler (helm chart
        - Service Change Handler (helm chart)
        - Inventory API (helm chart)
        - Dashboard (helm chart)

    - Service components

        - VES Collector
        - Threshold Crossing Analytics (TCA/CDAP)
        - HV-VES Collector
        - PNF-Registration Handler
        - Docker based Threshold Crossing Analytics (TCA-Gen2)
        - Holmes Rule Management *
        - Holmes Engine Management *

    - Additional resources that DCAE utilizes deployed using ONAP common charts:
    
        - Postgres Database
        - Mongo Database
        - Redis Cluster Database
        - Consul Cluster 

Below service components (mS) are available to be deployed on-demand.

 	- SNMPTrap Collector
 	- RESTConf Collector
 	- DataFile Collector
 	- PM-Mapper 
 	- BBS-EventProcessor
 	- VES Mapper
 	- Heartbeat mS
 	- SON-Handler
 	- PM-Subscription Handler

    Notes:

        \*  These components are delivered by the Holmes project.



Under OOM (Kubernetes) deployment all DCAE component containers are deployed as Kubernetes Pods/Deployments/Services into Kubernetes cluster. DCAE platform components are deployed using Helm charts. DCAE service components are deployed using Cloudify blueprints. DCAE provides a Cloudify Manager plugin (k8splugin) that is capable of expanding a Cloudify blueprint node specification for a service component to a full Kubernetes specification, with additional enhancements such as replica scaling, sidecar for logging to ONAP ELK stack, registering services to MSB, etc.

The offical El-Alto release (rolls up all 5.0.0 early drop deliverables) focused on technical debts and SECCOM priority work-items.

Following is summary of updates done for DCAEGEN2

**Security**

Following platform components were enabled for HTTPS
    - ConfigBindingService (CBS)
      -   CBS is used by all DCAE MS to fetch DCAE MS configuration from Consul. To mitigate impact for DCAE MS, CBS deployment through OOM/Helm was modified to support CBS on both HTTP and HTTPS. `Design for CBS TLS migration <https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/TLS+support+for+CBS+-+Migration+Plan>`_
    - Cloudify Manager
    - InventoryAPI
    - Non-root container process (ConfigBindingService, InventoryAPI, ServiceChangeHandler, HV-VES, PRH, Son-handler)

All components interfacing with platform components were modified to support TLS interface

**Miscellaneous**
    - DCAE Dashboard deployment migration from cloudify blueprint to OOM/Chart
    - Dynamic Topic support via Dmaap plugin integration for DataFileCollector MS
    - Dynamic Topic support via Dmaap plugin integration for PM-Mapper service

- All DCAE components are designed to support platform maturity requirements.

**Bug Fixes**

**Known Issues**

- DCAE utilizes Cloudify Manager as its declarative model based resource deployment engine.  Cloudify Manager is an open source upstream technology provided by Cloudify Inc. as a Docker image.  DCAE R2 does not provide additional enhancements towards Cloudify Manager's platform maturity.

**Security Notes**

DCAE code has been formally scanned during build time using NexusIQ and all Critical vulnerabilities have been addressed, items that remain open have been assessed for risk and determined to be false positive. The DCAE open Critical security vulnerabilities and their risk assessment have been documented as part of the `project <https://wiki.onap.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=28377647>`_.

**Upgrade Notes**

The following components are upgraded from R1:
    - Cloudify Manager:
       - Docker container tag: onap/org.onap.dcaegen2.deployments.cm-container:1.3.0
       - Description: R2 DCAE's Cloudify Manager container is based on Cloudify Manager Community Version 18.2.28, which is based on Cloudify Manager 4.3.
    - Bootstrap container:
       - Docker container tag: onap/org.onap.dcaegen2.deployments.k8s-bootstrap-container:1.1.11
       - Description: R2 DCAE no longer uses bootstrap container for Heat based deployment, -- deployment is done through cloud-init scripts and docker-compose specifications.  The bootstrap is for OOM (Kubernetes) based deployment.
    - Configuration Binding Service:
       - Docker container tag: onap/org.onap.dcaegen2.platform.configbinding:2.1.5
       - Description: Configuration Binding Sevice now supports the new configuration policy format.
    - Deployment Handler

       - Description: Replaced Hadoop VM Cluster based file system with regular host file system; repackaged full TCA-CDAP stack into Docker container; transactional state separation from TCA in-memory to off-node Redis cluster for supporting horizontal scaling.



Version: 1.0.0
==============

:Release Date: 2017-11-16


**New Features**

DCAE is the data collection and analytics sub-system of ONAP.  Under ONAP Release 1 the DCAE
sub-system includes both platform components and DCAE service components.  Collectively the ONAP R1
DCAE components support the data collection and analytics functions for the R1 use cases, i.e. vFW,
vDNS, vCPU, and vVoLTE.

Specifically, DCAE R1 includes the following components:

- Core platform
    - Cloudify manager
    - Consul cluster
- Extended platform
    - Platform component docker host
    - Service component docker host
    - CDAP cluster
    - PostgreSQL database (*)
- Platform docker container components
    - Configuration binding service
    - Deployment handler
    - Service change handler
    - Inventory
    - Policy handler
    - CDAP broker
- Service components
    - Docker container components
        - VNF Event Streaming (VES) collector
        - Holmes (engine and rule management) **
    - CDAP analytics component
        - Threshold Crossing Analytics (TCA)

(*) Note: This component is delivered under the CCSDK project, deployed by DCAE under a single
VM configuration as a shared PostgreSQL database for the R1 demos.  (CCSDK PostgreSQL supports
other deployment configurations not used in the R1 demos.)
(**) Note: This component is delivered under the Holmes project and used as a DCAE analytics component
in R1.

Source codes of DCAE are released under the following repositories on gerrit.onap.org:

- dcaegen2
- dcaegen2/analytics
- dcaegen2/analytics/tca
- dcaegen2/collectors
- dcaegen2/collectors/snmptrap
- dcaegen2/collectors/ves

- dcaegen2/platform
- dcaegen2/platform/blueprints
- dcaegen2/platform/cdapbroker
- dcaegen2/platform/cli
- dcaegen2/platform/configbinding
- dcaegen2/platform/deployment-handler
- dcaegen2/platform/inventory-api
- dcaegen2/platform/plugins
- dcaegen2/platform/policy-handler
- dcaegen2/platform/servicechange-handler
- dcaegen2/utils


**Bug Fixes**

This is the initial release.


**Known Issues**

- Need to test/integrate into an OpenStack environment other than Intel/Windriver Pod25.
- Need to provide a dev configuration DCAE.


**Security Issues**

- The DCAE Bootstrap container needs to have a secret key for accessing VMs that it launches.  This key is currently passed in as a Heat template parameter.  Tracked by JIRA `DCAEGEN2-178 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/DCAEGEN2-178>`_.>`_.
- The RESTful API calls are generally not secure.  That is, they are either over http, or https without certificate verification.  Once there is an ONAP wide solution for handling certificates, DCAE will switch to https.


**Upgrade Notes**

This is the initial release.


**Deprecation Notes**

There is a GEN1 DCAE sub-system implementation existing in the pre-R1 ONAP Gerrit system.  The GEN1
DCAE is deprecated by the R1 release.  The DCAE included in ONAP R1 is also known as DCAE GEN2.  The
following Gerrit repos are voided and already locked as read-only.
