A Cinder volume may +be embedded within the Base Module or Incremental Module if persistence +is not required. + +R-47788 The VNF Heat Orchestration Template **MUST** have a 1:1 +scope of a cinder volume module, when it exists, with the +Base Module or Incremental Module + +A single volume module must create only the volumes +required by a single Incremental module or Base module. + +The following rules apply to independent volume Heat templates: + +- Cinder volumes must be created in a separate Heat Orchestration + Template from the Base Module or Incremental Module. + +- A single Cinder volume module must include all Cinder volumes + needed by the Base/Incremental module. + +- R-79531 The VNF Heat Orchestration Template **MUST** define + “outputs” in the volume template for each Cinder volume + resource universally unique identifier (UUID) (i.e. ONAP + Volume Template Output Parameters). + +- The VNF Incremental Module or Base Module must define input + parameters that match each Volume output parameter (i.e., ONAP Volume + Template Output Parameters). + + - ONAP will supply the volume template outputs automatically to the + bases/incremental template input parameters. + +- Volume modules may utilize nested Heat templates. + +*Examples: Volume Template* + +A VNF has a Cinder volume module, named incremental\_volume.yaml, that +creates an independent Cinder volume for a VM in the module +incremental.yaml.

In ONAP, it is +mandatory. + +R-86285 The VNF Heat Orchestration Template **MUST** have a +corresponding environment file, even if no parameters are required to be +enumerated. + +(Note that ONAP, the open source version of ONAP, does not +programmatically enforce the use of an environment file.) + +R-67205 The VNF Heat Orchestration Template **MUST** have a corresponding +environment file for a Base Module. + +R-35727 The VNF Heat Orchestration Template **MUST** have a +corresponding environment file for an Incremental module. + +R-22656 The VNF Heat Orchestration Template **MUST** have a +corresponding environment file for a Cinder Volume Module. + +A nested heat template must not have an environment file; OpenStack does +not support it. + +The environment file must contain parameter values for the ONAP +Orchestration Constants and VNF Orchestration Constants. These +parameters are identical across all instances of a VNF type, and +expected to change infrequently. The ONAP Orchestration Constants are +associated with OS::Nova::Server image and flavor properties (See +`Property: image`_ and `Property: flavor`_). Examples of VNF +Orchestration Constants are the networking parameters associated +with an internal network (e.g., private IP ranges) and Cinder +volume sizes. + +The environment file must not contain parameter values for parameters +that are instance specific (ONAP Orchestration Parameters, VNF +Orchestration Parameters). These parameters are supplied to the Heat by +ONAP at orchestration time. + +SDC Treatment of Environment Files +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Parameter values enumerated in the environment file are used by SDC as +the default value. However, the SDC user may use the SDC GUI to +overwrite the default values in the environment file. + +SDC generates a new environment file for distribution to MSO based on +the uploaded environment file and the user provided GUI updates. The +user uploaded environment file is discarded when the new file is +created. Note that if the user did not change any values via GUI +updates, the SDC generated environment file will contain the same values +as the uploaded file. + +Use of Environment Files when using OpenStack “heat stack-create” CLI +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +When ONAP is instantiating the Heat Orchestration Template, certain +parameter must not be enumerated in the environment file. This document +provides the details of what parameters should not be enumerated. + +If the Heat Orchestration Template is to be instantiated from the +OpenStack Command Line Interface (CLI) using the command “heat +stack-create”, all parameters must be enumerated in the environment +file. + +Heat Template Constructs +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Nested Heat Templates +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +ONAP supports nested Heat templates per the OpenStack specifications. +Nested templates may be suitable for larger VNFs that contain many +repeated instances of the same VM type(s). A common usage pattern is to +create a nested template for each {vm-type} along with its supporting +resources. The VNF module may then reference these component templates +either statically by repeated definition or dynamically by using the +resource OS::Heat::ResourceGroup. + +Nested Heat Template Requirements +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +ONAP supports nested Heat Orchestration Templates. A Base Module, +Incremental Module, and Cinder Volume Module may use nested heat. + +A Heat Orchestration Template may reference the nested heat statically +by repeated definition. + +A Heat Orchestration Template may reference the nested heat dynamically +using the resource OS::Heat::ResourceGroup. + +A Heat Orchestration template must have no more than three levels of +nesting. ONAP supports a maximum of three levels. + +Nested heat templates must be referenced by file name. The use of +resource\_registry in the environment file is not supported and must not +be used. + +R-89868 The VNF Heat Orchestration Template **MUST** have unique +file names within the scope of the VNF for a nested heat yaml file. + +R-52530 The VNF Heat Orchestration Template **MUST NOT** use a +directory hierarchy for nested templates. All templates must +be in a single, flat directory (per VNF). + +A nested heat template may be used by any module within a given VNF. + +Note that: + +- Constrains must not be defined for any parameter enumerated in a + nested heat template. + +- R-11041 The VNF Heat Orchestration Template **MUST** have the + resource calling the nested yaml file pass in as properties + all parameters defined in nested yaml file. + +- R-61183 The VNF Heat Orchestration Template **MUST NOT** + change the parameter names, when OS::Nova::Server metadata + parameters are past into a nested heat template. + +- With nested templates, outputs are required to expose any resource + properties of the child templates to the parent template. Those would + not explicitly be declared as parameters but simply referenced as + get\_attribute targets against the “parent” resource. + +Nested Heat Template Example: Static +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + +incremental.yaml + +.. code-block:: yaml + + Resources: + dns_server_0: + type: nested.yaml + properties: + dns_image_name: { get_param: dns_image_name } + dns_flavor_name: { get_param: dns_flavor_name } + availability_zone: { get_param: availability_zone_0 } + security_group: { get_param: DNS_shared_sec_grp_id } + oam_net_id: { get_param: oam_protected_net_id } + dns_oam_ip: { get_param: dns_oam_ip_0 } + dns_name: { get_param: dns_name_0 } + vnf_name: { get_param: vnf_name } + vnf_id: { get_param: vnf_id } + vf_module_id: {get_param: vf_module_id} + + dns_server_1: + type: nested.yaml + properties: + dns_image_name: { get_param: dns_image_name } + dns_flavor_name: { get_param: dns_flavor_name } + availability_zone: { get_param: availability_zone_1 } + security_group: { get_param: DNS_shared_sec_grp_id } + oam_net_id: { get_param: oam_protected_net_id } + dns_oam_ip: { get_param: dns_oam_ip_1 } + dns_name: { get_param: dns_name_1 } + vnf_name: { get_param: vnf_name } + vnf_id: { get_param: vnf_id } + vf_module_id: {get_param: vf_module_id} + +nested.yaml + +.. code-block:: yaml + + dns_oam_0_port: + type: OS::Neutron::Port + properties: + name: + str_replace: + template: VNF_NAME_dns_oam_port + params: + VNF_NAME: {get_param: vnf_name} + network: { get_param: oam_net_id } + fixed_ips: [{ "ip_address": { get_param: dns_oam_ip }}] + security_groups: [{ get_param: security_group }] + + dns_servers: + type: OS::Nova::Server + properties: + name: { get_param: dns_names } + image: { get_param: dns_image_name } + flavor: { get_param: dns_flavor_name } + availability_zone: { get_param: availability_zone } + networks: + - port: { get_resource: dns_oam_0_port } + metadata: + vnf_id: { get_param: vnf_id } + vf_module_id: { get_param: vf_module_id } + vnf_name {get_param: vnf_name } + +Use of Heat ResourceGroup ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + +The OS::Heat::ResourceGroup is a useful Heat element for creating +multiple instances of a given resource or collection of resources. +Typically, it is used with a nested Heat template, to create, for +example, a set of identical OS::Nova::Server resources plus their +related OS::Neutron::Port resources via a single resource in a master +template. + +ResourceGroup may be used in ONAP to simplify the structure of a Heat +template that creates multiple instances of the same VM type. + +However, there are important caveats to be aware of: + +ResourceGroup does not deal with structured parameters +(comma-delimited-list and json) as one might typically expect. In +particular, when using a list-based parameter, where each list element +corresponds to one instance of the ResourceGroup, it is not possible to +use the intrinsic “loop variable” %index% in the ResourceGroup +definition. + +For instance, the following is **not** valid Heat for ResourceGroup: + +.. code-block:: yaml + + type: OS::Heat::ResourceGroup + resource_def: + type: my_nested_vm_template.yaml + properties: + name: {get_param: [vm_name_list, %index%]} + +Although this appears to use the nth entry of the vm\_name\_list list +for the nth element of the ResourceGroup, it will in fact result in a +Heat exception. When parameters are provided as a list (one for each +element of a ResourceGroup), you must pass the complete parameter to the +nested template along with the current index as separate parameters. + +Below is an example of an **acceptable** Heat Syntax for a +ResourceGroup: + +.. code-block:: yaml + + type: OS::Heat::ResourceGroup + resource_def: + type: my_nested_vm_template.yaml + properties: + names: {get_param: vm_name_list} + index: %index% + +You can then reference within the nested template as: + +{ get\_param: [names, {get\_param: index} ] } + +ResourceGroup Property count +____________________________ + +ONAP requires that the OS::Heat::ResourceGroup property count be defined +(even if the value is one) and that the value must be enumerated in the +environment file. This is required for ONAP to build the TOSCA model for +the VNF. + +.. code-block:: yaml + + type: OS::Heat::ResourceGroup + properties: + count: { get_param: count } + index_var: index + resource_def: + type: my_nested_vm_template.yaml + properties: + names: {get_param: vm_name_list} + index: index + +Availability Zone and ResourceGroups +____________________________________ + +The resource OS::Heat::ResourceGroup and the property availability\_zone +has been an “issue” with a few VNFs since ONAP only supports +availability\_zone as a string parameter and not a +comma\_delimited\_list. This makes it difficult to use a ResourceGroup +to create Virtual Machines in more than one availability zone. + +There are numerous solutions to this issue. Below are two suggested +usage patterns. + +**Option 1:** create a CDL in the OS::Heat::ResourceGroup. In the +resource type: OS::Heat::ResourceGroup, create a comma\_delimited\_list +availability\_zones by using the intrinsic function list\_join. + +.. code-block:: yaml + + <resource name>: + type: OS::Heat::ResourceGroup + properties: + count: { get_param: node_count } + index_var: index + resource_def: + type: nested.yaml + properties: + index: index + avaialability_zones: { list_join: [',', [ { get_param: availability_zone_0 }, { get_param: availability_zone_1 } ] ] } + +In the nested heat + +.. code-block:: yaml + + parameters: + avaialability_zones: + type: comma_delimited_list + description: + + resources: + servers: + type: OS::Nova::Server + properties: + name: { get_param: [ dns_names, get_param: index ] } + image: { get_param: dns_image_name } + flavor: { get_param: dns_flavor_name } + availability_zone: { get_param: [ avaialability_zones, get_param: index ] } + + +**Option 2:** Create a resource group per availability zone. A separate +OS::Heat::ResourceGroup is created for each availability zone. + +External References +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Heat templates *should not* reference any HTTP-based resource +definitions, any HTTP-based nested configurations, or any HTTP-based +environment files. + +- During orchestration, ONAP *should not* retrieve any such resources + from external/untrusted/unknown sources. + +- VNF images should not contain such references in user-data or other + configuration/operational scripts that are specified via Heat or + encoded into the VNF image itself. + +*Note:* HTTP-based references are acceptable if the HTTP-based reference +is accessing information with the VM private/internal network. + +Heat Files Support (get\_file) +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Heat Templates may contain the inclusion of text files into Heat +templates via the Heat get\_file directive. This may be used, for +example, to define a common “user-data” script, or to inject files into +a VM on startup via the “personality” property. + +Support for Heat Files is subject to the following limitations: + +R-76718 The VNF Heat Orchestration Template **MUST** reference +the get\_files targets in Heat templates by file name, and the +corresponding files should be delivered to ONAP along with the +Heat templates. + +R-41888 The VNE Heat **MUST NOT** use URL-based file retrieval. + +R-62177 The VNF Heat Orchestration Template **MUST** have unique +file names for the included files within the scope of the VNF. + +R-87848 The VNF Heat Orchestration Template **MUST** have all +included files in a single, flat directory per VNF. ONAP does +not support a directory hierarchy. + +- Included files may be used by all Modules within a given VNF. + +- get\_file directives may be used in both non-nested and nested + templates + +Key Pairs +~~~~~~~~~ + +When Nova Servers are created via Heat templates, they may be passed a +“keypair” which provides an ssh key to the ‘root’ login on the newly +created VM. This is often done so that an initial root key/password does +not need to be hard-coded into the image. + +Key pairs are unusual in OpenStack, because they are the one resource +that is owned by an OpenStack User as opposed to being owned by an +OpenStack Tenant. As a result, they are usable only by the User that +created the keypair. This causes a problem when a Heat template attempts +to reference a keypair by name, because it assumes that the keypair was +previously created by a specific ONAP user ID. + +When a keypair is assigned to a server, the SSH public-key is +provisioned on the VMs at instantiation time. They keypair itself is not +referenced further by the VM (i.e. if the keypair is updated with a new +public key, it would only apply to subsequent VMs created with that +keypair). + +Due to this behavior, the recommended usage of keypairs is in a more +generic manner which does not require the pre-requisite creation of a +keypair. The Heat should be structured in such a way as to: + +- Pass a public key as a parameter value instead of a keypair name + +- Create a new keypair within The VNF Heat Orchestration Template (in the base + module) for use within that VNF + +By following this approach, the end result is the same as pre-creating +the keypair using the public key – i.e., that public key will be +provisioned in the new VM. However, this recommended approach also makes +sure that a known public key is supplied (instead of having OpenStack +generate a public/private pair to be saved and tracked outside of ONAP). +It also removes any access/ownership issues over the created keypair. + +The public keys may be enumerated as a VNF Orchestration Constant in the +environment file (since it is public, it is not a secret key), or passed +at run-time as instance-specific parameters. ONAP will never +automatically assign a public/private key pair. + +*Example (create keypair with an existing ssh public-key for {vm-type} +of lb (for load balancer)):* + +.. code-block:: yaml + + parameters: + vnf_name: + type: string + lb_ssh_public_key: + type: string + + resources: + my_keypair: + type: OS::Nova::Keypair + properties: + name: + str_replace: + template: VNF_NAME_key_pair + params: + VNF_NAME: { get_param: vnf_name } + public_key: {get_param: lb_ssh_public_key} + save_private_key: false + +Security Groups +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +OpenStack allows a tenant to create Security groups and define rules +within the security groups. + +Security groups, with their rules, may either be created in the Heat +Orchestration Template or they can be pre-created in OpenStack and +referenced within the Heat template via parameter(s). There can be a +different approach for security groups assigned to ports on internal +(intra-VNF) networks or external networks (inter-VNF). Furthermore, +there can be a common security group across all VMs for a specific +network or it can vary by VM (i.e., {vm-type}) and network type (i.e., +{network-role}). + +Anti-Affinity and Affinity Rules +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Anti-affinity or affinity rules are supported using normal OpenStack +OS::Nova::ServerGroup resources. Separate ServerGroups are typically +created for each VM type to prevent them from residing on the same host, +but they can be applied to multiple VM types to extend the +affinity/anti-affinity across related VM types as well. + +*Example:* + +In this example, the {network-role} has been defined as oam to represent +an oam network and the {vm-type} have been defined as lb for load +balancer and db for database. + +.. code-block:: yaml + + resources: + db_server_group: + type: OS::Nova::ServerGroup + properties: + name: + str_replace: + params: + $vnf_name: {get_param: vnf_name} + template: $vnf_name-server_group1 + policies: + - anti-affinity + + lb_server_group: + type: OS::Nova::ServerGroup + properties: + name: + str_replace: + params: + $vnf_name: {get_param: vnf_name} + template: $vnf_name-server_group2 + policies: + - affinity + + db_0: + type: OS::Nova::Server + properties: + ... + scheduler_hints: + group: {get_resource: db_server_group} + + db_1: + type: OS::Nova::Server + properties: + ... + scheduler_hints: + group: {get_resource: db_server_group} + + lb_0: + type: OS::Nova::Server + properties: + ... + scheduler_hints: + group: {get_resource: lb_server_group} + +Resource Data Synchronization +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +For cases where synchronization is required in the orchestration of Heat +resources, two approaches are recommended: + +- Standard Heat depends\_on property for resources + + - Assures that one resource completes before the dependent resource + is orchestrated. + + - Definition of completeness to OpenStack may not be sufficient + (e.g., a VM is considered complete by OpenStack when it is ready + to be booted, not when the application is up and running). + +- Use of Heat Notifications + + - Create OS::Heat::WaitCondition and OS::Heat::WaitConditionHandle + resources. + + - Pre-requisite resources issue *wc\_notify* commands in user\_data. + + - Dependent resource define depends\_on in the + OS::Heat::WaitCondition resource. + +*Example: “depends\_on” case* + +In this example, the {network-role} has been defined as oam to represent +an oam network and the {vm-type} has been defined as oam to represent an +oam server. + +.. code-block:: yaml + + resources: + oam_server_01: + type: OS::Nova::Server + properties: + name: {get_param: [oam_ names, 0]} + image: {get_param: oam_image_name} + flavor: {get_param: oam_flavor_name} + availability_zone: {get_param: availability_zone_0} + networks: + - port: {get_resource: oam01_port_0} + - port: {get_resource: oam01_port_1} + user_data: + scheduler_hints: {group: {get_resource: oam_servergroup}} + user_data_format: RAW + + oam_01_port_0: + type: OS::Neutron::Port + properties: + network: {get_resource: oam_net_name} + fixed_ips: [{"ip_address": {get_param: [oam_oam_net_ips, 1]}}] + security_groups: [{get_resource: oam_security_group}] + + oam_01_port_1: + type: OS::Neutron::Port + properties: + network: {get_param: oam_net_name} + fixed_ips: [{"ip_address": {get_param: [oam_oam_net_ips, 2]}}] + security_groups: [{get_resource: oam_security_group}] + + oam_01_vol_attachment: + type: OS::Cinder::VolumeAttachment + depends_on: oam_server_01 + properties: + volume_id: {get_param: oam_vol_1} + mountpoint: /dev/vdb + instance_uuid: {get_resource: oam_server_01} + +High Availability +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +VNF/VM parameters may include availability zone IDs for VNFs that +require high availability. + +The Heat must comply with the following requirements to specific +availability zone IDs: + +- The Heat template should spread Nova and Cinder resources across the + availability zones as desired + +Post Orchestration & VNF Configuration +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Heat templates should contain a minimum amount of post-orchestration +configuration data.

It has the following features: + +1. VNF TOSCA template designer supports GUI and CLI. + +2. VNF TOSCA template is aligned to the newest TOSCA protocol, “Working + Draft 04-Revision 06”. + +3. VNF TOSCA template supports HPA features, such as NUMA, Hyper + Threading, SRIOV， etc. + +Intended Audience +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +This document is intended for persons developing VNF TOSCA templates +that will be orchestrated by ONAP. + +Scope +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +ONAP implementations of Network Cloud supports TOSCA Templates, also +referred to as TOSCA in this document. + +ONAP requires the TOSCA Templates to follow a specific format. This +document provides the mandatory, recommended, and optional requirements +associated with this format. + +Overview +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The document includes three charters to help the VNF providers to use the +VNF model design tools and understand the VNF package structure and VNF +TOSCA templates. + +In the ONAP, VNF Package and VNFD template can be designed by manually +or via model designer tools. VNF model designer tools can provide the +GUI and CLI tools for the VNF provider to develop the VNF Package and VNFD +template. + +The VNF package structure is align to the NFV TOSCA protocol, and +supports CSAR + +The VNFD and VNF package are all align to the NFV TOSCA protocol, which +supports multiple TOSCA template yaml files, and also supports +self-defined node or other extensions. + +NFV TOSCA Template +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +TOSCA templates supported by ONAP must follow the requirements +enumerated in this section. + +TOSCA Introduction +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +TOSCA defines a Meta model for defining IT services. This Meta model +defines both the structure of a service as well as how to manage it. A +Topology Template (also referred to as the topology model of a service) +defines the structure of a service. Plans define the process models that +are used to create and terminate a service as well as to manage a +service during its whole lifetime. + +A Topology Template consists of a set of Node Templates and Relationship +Templates that together define the topology model of a service as a (not +necessarily connected) directed graph. A node in this graph is +represented by a *Node Template*. A Node Template specifies the +occurrence of a Node Type as a component of a service. A *Node Type* +defines the properties of such a component (via *Node Type Properties*) +and the operations (via *Interfaces*) available to manipulate the +component. Node Types are defined separately for reuse purposes and a +Node Template references a Node Type and adds usage constraints, such as +how many times the component can occur. + +|image1| + +Figure 1: Structural Elements of Service Template and their Relations + +TOSCA Modeling Principles & Data Model +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +This section describing TOSCA modeling principles and data model for +NFV, which shall be based on [TOSCA-1.0] and [TOSCA-Simple-Profile-YAML +V1.0], or new type based on ETSI NFV requirements, etc. + +VNF Descriptor Template +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The VNF Descriptor (VNFD) describes the topology of the VNF by means of +ETSI NFV IFA011 [IFA011] terms such as VDUs, Connection Points, Virtual +Links, External Connection Points, Scaling Aspects, Instantiation Levels +and Deployment Flavours. + +The VNFD (VNF Descriptor) is read by both the NFVO and the VNFM. It +represents the contract & interface of a VNF and ensures the +interoperability across the NFV functional blocks. + +The main parts of the VNFD are the following: + +- VNF topology: it is modeled in a cloud agnostic way using virtualized + containers and their connectivity.
