2020 Goals

ICN Infra Local Controller improvement

• Bug fixes
• Enhancements of infra-local-controller: User experience (UI), VM based deployment in Edge location etc.
• Zero Touch Provisioning ICN Launch Dashboard
• Performance Dashboard for HPA features in ICN
• Completion of EdgeXFoundry use case

SDWAN Controller

• Completion of SDWAN value-added connectivity to ICN
• ONAP4K8S Edge location Native Edge secure connectivity: Developing objects to represent
  • firewall definition,
  • NAT definition
  • IPSEC definition
  • MWAN3 definition
  • IPVS definition
• Integration of "K8S Native Edge Secure Connectivity" feature with corresponding ONAP4K8S CLUSTERLCM_SDWAN Controller and ONAP4K8S APP_LCM_SM Controller.
• IPSEC tunnelling between SDWAN controller in each edge location
• Intercommunication between the edge location using SDWAN HUB
• E2E testing

DCM (Distributed Cloud Manager)

• Developing Logical cloud in edge location with QoS
• ONAP4K8S Upstream project with "Distributed Cloud Manager" and corresponding integration and testing.
• Development on User, Namespace, Logical cloud controller along with DCM
• E2E testing

Integration of OpenNESS with ONAP4K8s

• Using KUD to install the OpenNess edge node and Openness controller
• Using OVN4NFV in OpenNess
• Helm chart deployment for OpenNESS in ONAP4K8s
• Edge location ONAP Cluster schedule the workload directly in the OpenNess Edge location
• Traffic Rules to set with OVN using Network Policy for External Provider Network
• E2E testing

ONAP4K8S HPA Features in ICN

• FPGA. GPU, Core Pining, NUMA awareness
• SDWAN IPsec uses case with Helm charts and leveraging Crypto accelerator (QAT).
• E2E testing for HPA features with a single CNFs

Distributed Analytics use case 

• Ensure that Distributed Analytics is upgraded with  OpenVINO
• Ensure that Distributed Analytics uses acceleration features.
• E2E testing

Enhancement of ICN Deployment

• Infra-global controller using Cluster API
• Offline installer
• Improve the performance of infra-local controllers: Ensure that 3 node cluster is brought up in less than 5 minutes - 3 Minutes is ideal.
• Reuse of bootstrap node as worker node for application workloads (Migration of infra-local controller micro-services from bootstrap K8S to application cluster as infra-local controller functionality continues to be required throughout the edge life cycle to enable software upgrades/patches.
• L2/L3 Switch configuration automation (VLAN configuration and others)
• Do necessary steps to take ICN to mature stage
