TOSCA YAML ---------- Introduction ^^^^^^^^^^^^ This reference document is the VNF TOSCA Template Requirements for ONAP, which provides recommendations and standards for building VNF TOSCA templates compatible with ONAP initial implementations of Network Cloud. 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. Virtual Deployment Units (VDU) describe the capabilities of the virtualized containers, such as virtual CPU, RAM, disks; their connectivity is modeled with VDU Connection Point Descriptors (VduCpd), Virtual Link Descriptors (Vld) and VNF External Connection Point Descriptors (VnfExternalCpd); - VNF deployment aspects: they are described in one or more deployment flavours, including instantiation levels, supported LCM operations, VNF LCM operation configuration parameters, placement constraints (affinity / antiaffinity), minimum and maximum VDU instance numbers, and scaling aspect for horizontal scaling. The following table defines the TOSCA Type “derived from” values that SHALL be used when using the TOSCA Simple Profile for NFV version 1.0 specification [TOSCA-Simple-Profile-NFV-v1.0] for NFV VNFD with aggreed changes from ETSI SOL001 draft. +---------------------+------------------------------------+-----------------+ | **ETSI NFV Element**| **TOSCA VNFD** | **Derived from**| | | | | | **[IFA011]** | **[TOSCA-Simple-Profile-NFV-v1.0]**| | +=====================+====================================+=================+ | VNF | tosca.nodes.nfv.VNF | tosca.nodes.Root| +---------------------+------------------------------------+-----------------+ | Cpd (Connection | tosca.nodes.nfv.Cp | tosca.nodes.Root| | Point) | tosca.nodes.nfv.Cp | tosca.nodes.Root| +---------------------+------------------------------------+-----------------+ | VduCpd (internal | tosca.nodes.nfv.VduCp | tosca.nodes.\ | | connection point) | | nfv.Cp | +---------------------+------------------------------------+-----------------+ | VnfVirtualLinkDesc | tosca.nodes.nfv.VnfVirtualLink | tosca.nodes.Root| | (Virtual Link) | | | +---------------------+------------------------------------+-----------------+ | VDU Virtual Storage | tosca.nodes.nfv.VDU.VirtualStorage | tosca.nodes.Root| +---------------------+------------------------------------+-----------------+ | VDU Virtual Compute | tosca.nodes.nfv.VDU.Compute | tosca.nodes.Root| +---------------------+------------------------------------+-----------------+ | Software Image | | | +---------------------+------------------------------------+-----------------+ | Deployment Flavour | | | +---------------------+------------------------------------+-----------------+ | Scaling Aspect | | | +---------------------+------------------------------------+-----------------+ | Element Group | | | +---------------------+------------------------------------+-----------------+ | Instantiation | | | | Level | | | +---------------------+------------------------------------+-----------------+ +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | tosca\_definitions\_version: tosca\_simple\_yaml\_1\_0 | | | | | | | | description: VNFD TOSCA file demo | | | | | | | | imports: | | | | | | | | - TOSCA\_definition\_nfv\_1\_0.yaml | | | | | | | | - TOSCA\_definition\_nfv\_ext\_1\_0.yaml | | | | | | | | | **node\_types: | | | | tosca.nodes.nfv.VNF.vOpenNAT: | | | | derived\_from:** tosca.nodes.nfv.VNF | | | | | **requirements: | | | | **- **sriov\_plane: | | | | capability:** tosca.capabilities.nfv.VirtualLinkable | | | | | **node:** tosca.nodes.nfv.VnfVirtualLinkDesc | | | | | **relationship:** tosca.relationships.nfv.VirtualLinksTo | | | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | +====================================================================+ +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ HPA Requirements ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 1.
