ONAP TOSCA VNFD Requirements
-----------------------------


Introduction
^^^^^^^^^^^^

The following sub-clauses describe the numbered requirements
for VNF Descriptor (VNFD) or in other words the VNF Service Template
based on the most updated draft of ETSI NFV-SOL001 standard for VNF
Descriptor. The ETSI standard specifies a NFV specific data model using
TOSCA/YAML data model constructs specified in TOSCA Simple Profile in
YAML v.1.2.

The requirements for TOSCA/CSAR based VNF package are described as well
and they are based on ETSI NFV-SOL004 standard.

References
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  1. ETSI GS NFV-SOL001 draft v.0.10.0
  2. TOSCA SIMPLE Profile in YAML v.1.2
  3. ETSI GS NFV-SOL004 v.2.5.1

Intended Audience
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This document is intended for developers of VNF TOSCA templates that
will be orchestrated by ONAP. The document is also applicable for
creating RFP’s with the list of required TOSCA/YAML features
supported by VNF provider.

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.

VNF CSAR Package
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

CSAR Overview
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TOSCA YAML CSAR file is an archive file using the ZIP file format whose
structure complies with the TOSCA Simple Profile YAML v1.2 Specification.
The CSAR file may have one of the two following structures:

  - CSAR containing a TOSCA-Metadata directory, which includes the TOSCA.meta
    metadata file providing an entry information for processing a CSAR file.

  - CSAR containing a single yaml (.yml or .yaml) file at the root of the
    archive. The yaml file is a TOSCA definition template that contains a
    metadata section with template_name and template_version metadata. This
    file is the CSAR Entry-Definitions file.

VNF Package Structure and Format
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. req::
    :id: R-51347
    :target: VNF
    :keyword: MUST
    :introduced: casablanca

    The VNF package **MUST** be arranged as a CSAR archive as specified in
    TOSCA Simple Profile in YAML 1.2.


.. req::
    :id: R-87234
    :target: VNF
    :keyword: MAY
    :introduced: casablanca

    The VNF package provided by a VNF vendor **MAY** be either with
    TOSCA-Metadata directory (CSAR Option 1) or without TOSCA-Metadata
    directory (CSAR Option 2) as specified in ETSI GS NFV-SOL004. On-boarding
    entity (ONAP SDC) must support both options.

    **Note:** SDC supports only the CSAR Option 1 in Casablanca. The Option 2
    will be considered in future ONAP releases,


VNF Package Contents
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. req::
    :id: R-10087
    :target: VNF
    :keyword: MUST
    :introduced: casablanca

    The VNF package **MUST** contain all standard artifacts as specified in
    ETSI GS NFV-SOL004 including Manifest file, VNFD (or Main TOSCA/YAML
    based Service Template) and other optional artifacts. CSAR Manifest
    file as per SOL004 - for example ROOT\\ **MainServiceTemplate.mf**

.. req::
    :id: R-01123
    :target: VNF

VNF Package ONAP Extensions

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.

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.

    The VNF Descriptor (VNFD) provided by VNF vendor **MUST** comply with
    TOSCA/YAML based Service template for VNF descriptor specified in
    ETSI NFV-SOL001.

    **Note**: As the ETSI NFV-SOL001 is work in progress the below tables
    summarizes the TOSCA definitions agreed to be part of current version
    of NFV profile and that VNFD MUST comply with in ONAP Release 2+
    Requirements.


.. req::
    :id: R-65486
    :target: VNF

    The VNFD **MUST** comply with ETSI GS NFV-SOL001 document endorsing
    the above mentioned NFV Profile and maintaining the gaps with the
    requirements specified in ETSI GS NFV-IFA011 standard.


.. req::
    :id: R-17852

    A VNFD is a deployment template which describes a VNF in terms of
    deployment and operational behavior requirements. It contains
    virtualized resources (nodes) requirements as well as connectivity
    and interfaces requirements and **MUST** comply with info elements
    specified in ETSI GS NFV-IFA 011. 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
        (VnfVld) and VNF External Connection Point Descriptors
        (VnfExternalCpd);
    
      - VNF deployment aspects: they are described in one or more
        deployment flavours, including configurable parameters, instantiation
        levels, placement constraints (affinity / antiaffinity), minimum and
        maximum VDU instance numbers. Horizontal scaling is modeled with
        scaling aspects and the respective scaling levels in the deployment
        flavours;

    **Note**: The deployment aspects (deployment flavour etc.) are postponed
    for future ONAP releases. 

      - VNF lifecycle management (LCM) operations: describes the LCM operations
        supported per deployment flavour, and their input parameters;
        Note, thatthe actual LCM implementation resides in a different layer,
        namely referring to additional template artifacts.
