The Akraino Regional Controller provides a standardized way to install Akraino Blueprints on disparate, network connected, hardware.  It is designed to be agnostic about what is being installed, and only concerns itself with providing a standard framework for running workflows associated with Blueprints, in order to perform the lifecycle management functions of a particular Blueprint.  It does this via a REST-based API.

Akraino Regional Controller

The current Akraino Portal provides a user interface and a collection of workflows and services to execute the actions requested by the user.  This proposal is to separate the workflows and services from the portal user interface so that actions can be performed through the portal, direct REST calls from an external orchestration tool, or a CLI that could be developed as part of a different feature project.

  1. Define an API for the various actions that a user might request including user management, blueprint definition, blueprint deployment, monitoring, etc.
  2. Modify existing services and workflows to be initiated though the new API.
  3. Develop new services and workflows as needed to address common tasks required by blueprints.
  4. Coordinate with the Portal feature project to use the new API.
  5. Standardize the software definition of a "Blueprint" so that multiple software entities can interact with blueprints in a defined way.

  6. Standardize the software definition of a "hardware profile" to enforce some rigor in what types of hardware individual blueprints may use.
