Remove docs directory from policy/clamp
All the documentation from policy-clamp is now moved to policy parent and
the links from the ONAP root documentaiton to CLAMP are now pointing at
the documentation for CLAMP in policy/parent.
This all means that the documentation in policy/clamp can now be removed.

All rights reserved. -.. _architecture: - -Policy/Clamp in ONAP Architecture ---------------------------------- - -CLAMP platform has been integrated into the Policy framework project, starting as a POC during -Honolulu release and as a official feature with Istanbul release. So CLAMP must be seen now -as a function provided by the Policy Framework project. - -CLAMP is a function for designing and managing control loops and a UI to manage Policies. - It is used to visualize a control loop, configure it with specific parameters for a particular network -service, then deploying and undeploying it. Once deployed, the user can also -update the loop with new parameters during runtime, as well as suspending and -restarting it. - -Starting with Istanbul release, CLAMP GUI can also be used to create/read/update/delete/list policies -outside of a control loop, and therefore CLAMP is also the front-end for Policies management in ONAP. - -CLAMP interacts with other systems to deploy and execute the control loop. For -example, it extracts the control loop blueprint from CSAR distributed by SDC. -CLAMP also calls the internal Policy framework API to get the Policy Models(Model Driven Control Loop) -It requests from DCAE the instantiation of microservices. -to manage the control loop flow. Furthermore, it creates and updates multiple -policies (for DCAE mS configuration and actual Control Operations) in the Policy Engine -that define the closed loop flow. - -|clamp-flow| - -The ONAP CLAMP function abstracts the details of these systems under the concept -of a control loop model. The design of a control loop and its management is -represented by a workflow in which all relevant system interactions take -place. This is essential for a self-service model of creating and managing -control loops, where no low-level user interaction with other components is -required. - -At a higher level, CLAMP is about supporting and managing the broad operational -life cycle of VNFs/VMs and ultimately ONAP components itself. It will offer the -ability to design, test, deploy and update control loop automation - both closed -and open. Automating these functions would represent a significant saving on -operational costs compared to traditional methods. - -|closed-loop| - -.. |clamp-flow| image:: images/architecture/distdepl.png -.. |closed-loop| image:: images/architecture/ONAP-closedloop.png |
