+Access via NodePort/Loadbalancer
+********************************
+
+The ONAP deployment created by OOM operates in a private IP network that isn't
+publicly accessible (i.e. OpenStack VMs with private internal network) which
+blocks access to the ONAP User Interfaces.
+To enable direct access to a service from a user's own environment (a laptop etc.)
+the application's internal port is exposed through a `Kubernetes NodePort`_ or
+`Kubernetes LoadBalancer`_ object.
+
+Typically, to be able to access the Kubernetes nodes publicly a public address
+is assigned. In OpenStack this is a floating IP address.
+
+Most ONAP applications use the `NodePort` as predefined `service:type`,
+which opens allows access to the service through the the IP address of each
+Kubernetes node.
+When using  the `Loadbalancer` as `service:type` `Kubernetes LoadBalancer`_ object
+which gets a separate IP address.
+
+.. note::
+  The following example uses the `ONAP Portal`, which is not actively maintained
+  in Kohn and will be replaced in the future
+
+When e.g. the `portal-app` chart is deployed a Kubernetes service is created that
+instantiates a load balancer.  The LB chooses the private interface of one of
+the nodes as in the example below (10.0.0.4 is private to the K8s cluster only).
+Then to be able to access the portal on port 8989 from outside the K8s &
+OpenStack environment, the user needs to assign/get the floating IP address that
+corresponds to the private IP as follows::
+
+  > kubectl -n onap get services|grep "portal-app"
+  portal-app  LoadBalancer   10.43.142.201   10.0.0.4   8989:30215/TCP,8006:30213/TCP,8010:30214/TCP   1d   app=portal-app,release=dev
+
+
+In this example, use the 11.0.0.4 private address as a key find the
+corresponding public address which in this example is 10.12.6.155. If you're
+using OpenStack you'll do the lookup with the horizon GUI or the OpenStack CLI
+for your tenant (openstack server list).  That IP is then used in your
+`/etc/hosts` to map the fixed DNS aliases required by the ONAP Portal as shown
+below::
+
+  10.12.6.155 portal.api.simpledemo.onap.org
+  10.12.6.155 vid.api.simpledemo.onap.org

+
+Ensure you've disabled any proxy settings the browser you are using to access
+the portal and then simply access now the new ssl-encrypted URL:
+``https://portal.api.simpledemo.onap.org:30225/ONAPPORTAL/login.htm``
+
+.. note::
+  Using the HTTPS based Portal URL the Browser needs to be configured to accept
+  unsecure credentials.
+  Additionally when opening an Application inside the Portal, the Browser
+  might block the content, which requires to disable the blocking and reloading
+  of the page
+
+.. note::
+  Besides the ONAP Portal the Components can deliver additional user interfaces,
+  please check the Component specific documentation.
+
+.. note::
+
+   | Alternatives Considered:
+
+   -  Kubernetes port forwarding was considered but discarded as it would
+      require the end user to run a script that opens up port forwarding tunnels
+      to each of the pods that provides a portal application widget.
+
+   -  Reverting to a VNC server similar to what was deployed in the Amsterdam
+      release was also considered but there were many issues with resolution,
+      lack of volume mount, /etc/hosts dynamic update, file upload that were
+      a tall order to solve in time for the Beijing release.
+
+   Observations:
+
+   -  If you are not using floating IPs in your Kubernetes deployment and
+      directly attaching a public IP address (i.e. by using your public provider
+      network) to your K8S Node VMs' network interface, then the output of
+      'kubectl -n onap get services | grep "portal-app"'
+      will show your public IP instead of the private network's IP. Therefore,
+      you can grab this public IP directly (as compared to trying to find the
+      floating IP first) and map this IP in /etc/hosts.
+
 Some relevant information regarding accessing OOM from outside the cluster etc
 
+ONAP Nodeports
+==============
+
+NodePorts are used to allow client applications, that run outside of
+Kubernetes, access to ONAP components deployed by OOM.
+A NodePort maps an externally reachable port to an internal port of an ONAP
+microservice.
+It should be noted that the use of NodePorts is temporary.
+An alternative solution based on Ingress Controller, which initial support is
+already in place. It is planned to become a default deployment option in the
+London release.
+
+More information from official Kubernetes documentation about
+`Kubernetes NodePort`_.
+
+The following table lists all the NodePorts used by ONAP.
+
+.. csv-table:: NodePorts table
+   :file: ../../resources/csv/nodeports.csv
+   :widths: 20,20,20,20,20
+   :header-rows: 1
+
+
+This table retrieves information from the ONAP deployment using the following
+Kubernetes command:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  kubectl get svc -n onap -o go-template='{{range .items}}{{range.spec.ports}}{{if .nodePort}}{{.nodePort}}{{.}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}{{end}}{{end}}'
+
+
+(Optional) Access via Ingress
+*****************************
+
+Using Ingress as access method requires the installation of an Ingress
+controller and the configuration of the ONAP deployment to use it.
+
+For "ONAP on ServiceMesh" you can find the instructions in:
+
+- :ref:`oom_base_optional_addons`
+- :ref:`oom_customize_overrides`
+
+In the ServiceMesh deployment the Istio IngressGateway is the only access point
+for ONAP component interfaces.
+Usually the Ingress is accessed via a LoadBalancer IP (<ingress-IP>),
+which is used as central address.
+All APIs/UIs are provided via separate URLs which are routed to the component service.
+To use these URLs they need to be resolvable via DNS or via /etc/hosts.
+
+The domain name is usually defined in the `global` section of the ONAP helm-charts,
+`virtualhost.baseurl` (here "simpledemo.onap.org") whereas the hostname of
+the service (e.g. "sdc-fe-ui") is defined in the component's chart.

+
+ONAP is currenty planned to support Istio as default ServiceMesh platform.
+Therefor the following instructions describe the setup of Istio and required tools.
+Used `Istio best practices`_ and `Istio setup guide`_
+
+Istio Platform Installation
+===========================
+
+Install Istio Basic Platform
+----------------------------
+
+- Configure the Helm repository::
+
+    > helm repo add istio https://istio-release.storage.googleapis.com/charts
+
+    > helm repo update
+
+- Create a namespace for "mesh-level" configurations::
+
+    > kubectl create namespace istio-config
+
+- Create a namespace istio-system for Istio components::
+
+    > kubectl create namespace istio-system
+
+- Install the Istio Base chart which contains cluster-wide resources used by the
+  Istio control plane, replacing the <recommended-istio-version> with the version
+  defined in the :ref:`versions_table` table::
+
+    > helm upgrade -i istio-base istio/base -n istio-system --version <recommended-istio-version>
+
+- Install the Istio Base Istio Discovery chart which deploys the istiod service, replacing the
+  <recommended-istio-version> with the version defined in the :ref:`versions_table` table
+  (enable the variable to enforce the (sidecar) proxy startup before the container start)::
+
+    > helm upgrade -i istiod istio/istiod -n istio-system --version <recommended-istio-version>
+    --wait --set global.proxy.holdApplicationUntilProxyStarts=true --set meshConfig.rootNamespace=istio-config
+
+Add an EnvoyFilter for HTTP header case
+---------------------------------------
+
+When handling HTTP/1.1, Envoy will normalize the header keys to be all lowercase.
+While this is compliant with the HTTP/1.1 spec, in practice this can result in issues
+when migrating existing systems that might rely on specific header casing.
+In our case a problem was detected in the SDC client implementation, which relies on
+uppercase header values. To solve this problem in general we add a EnvoyFilter to keep
+the uppercase header in the istio-config namespace to apply for all namespaces, but
+set the context to SIDECAR_INBOUND to avoid problems in the connection between Istio-Gateway and Services
+
+- Create a EnvoyFilter file (e.g. envoyfilter-case.yaml)
+
+    .. collapse:: envoyfilter-case.yaml
+
+      .. include:: ../../resources/yaml/envoyfilter-case.yaml
+         :code: yaml
+
+- Apply the change to Istio::
+
+    > kubectl apply -f envoyfilter-case.yaml
+
+Install Istio Gateway
+---------------------
+
+- Create a namespace istio-ingress for the Istio Ingress gateway
+  and enable istio-injection::
+
+    > kubectl create namespace istio-ingress
+
+    > kubectl label namespace istio-ingress istio-injection=enabled
+
+- Install the Istio Gateway chart,replacing the
+  <recommended-istio-version> with the version defined in
+  the :ref:`versions_table` table::
+
+    > helm upgrade -i istio-ingressgateway istio/gateway -n istio-ingress
+    --version <recommended-istio-version> --wait
+
+Kiali Installation
+==================
+
+Kiali is used to visualize the Network traffic in a ServiceMesh enabled cluster
+For setup the kiali operator is used, see `Kiali setup guide`_
+
+- Install kiali-operator namespace::
+
+    > kubectl create namespace kiali-operator
+
+    > kubectl label namespace kiali-operator istio-injection=enabled
+
+- Install the kiali-operator::
+
+    > helm repo add kiali https://kiali.org/helm-charts
+
+    > helm repo update kiali
+
+    > helm install --namespace kiali-operator kiali/kiali-operator
+
+- Create Kiali CR file (e.g. kiali.yaml)
+
+    .. collapse:: kiali.yaml
+
+      .. include:: ../../resources/yaml/kiali.yaml
+         :code: yaml
+
+- Install kiali::
+
+    > kubectl apply -f kiali.yaml
+
+- Create Ingress gateway entry for the kiali web interface
+  using the configured Ingress <base-url> (here "simpledemo.onap.org")
+  as described in :ref:`oom_customize_overrides`
+
+    .. collapse:: kiali-ingress.yaml
+
+      .. include:: ../../resources/yaml/kiali-ingress.yaml
+         :code: yaml
+
+- Add the Ingress entry for Kiali::
+
+    > kubectl -n istio-system apply -f kiali-ingress.yaml
+

-Ensure you've disabled any proxy settings the browser you are using to access
-the portal and then simply access now the new ssl-encrypted URL:
-``https://portal.api.simpledemo.onap.org:30225/ONAPPORTAL/login.htm``
-
-.. note::
-  Using the HTTPS based Portal URL the Browser needs to be configured to accept
-  unsecure credentials.
-  Additionally when opening an Application inside the Portal, the Browser
-  might block the content, which requires to disable the blocking and reloading
-  of the page
-
-.. note::
-  Besides the ONAP Portal the Components can deliver additional user interfaces,
-  please check the Component specific documentation.
-
-.. note::
-
-   | Alternatives Considered:
-
-   -  Kubernetes port forwarding was considered but discarded as it would
-      require the end user to run a script that opens up port forwarding tunnels
-      to each of the pods that provides a portal application widget.
-
-   -  Reverting to a VNC server similar to what was deployed in the Amsterdam
-      release was also considered but there were many issues with resolution,
-      lack of volume mount, /etc/hosts dynamic update, file upload that were
-      a tall order to solve in time for the Beijing release.
-
-   Observations:
-
-   -  If you are not using floating IPs in your Kubernetes deployment and
-      directly attaching a public IP address (i.e. by using your public provider
-      network) to your K8S Node VMs' network interface, then the output of
-      'kubectl -n onap get services | grep "portal-app"'
-      will show your public IP instead of the private network's IP. Therefore,
-      you can grab this public IP directly (as compared to trying to find the
-      floating IP first) and map this IP in /etc/hosts.
