Software Architecture

Overview
The Network Cloud family consists of multiple software components running on the Regional Controller and edge nodes. The Regional Controller runs software components that are required to deploy and manage edge nodes. The components provide functions such as a graphical user interface, workflow engine, software repository, hardware configuration tools. The edge nodes run software components necessary to deliver OpenStack services using components such as Airship, Openstack Helm, kubernetes, docker, calico, sr-iov, ovs and ovs-dpdk.

Akraino Projects
In addition to the upstream projects references above, Akraino has several projects that provide software to integrate all of the platform software.
Regional Controller
Scripts for initializing an Akraino regional controller and installing Portal components (e.g., GUI, Workflow engine, etc.)
Portal User Interface
The web interface for the Regional Controller. Built and installed as a Docker container.
Camunda Workflow
Workflow engine, templates, and scripts for automated installation of Akraino clusters
Invoked from the Portal UI.
YAML Builds
YAML files and accompanying scripts for installing an Akraino cluster
Invoked from the Workflow engine; largely concerned with installing Airship.
ONAP
Scripts for installing ONAP on an operational Akraino cluster
ONAP is installed as a single VM.
Sample VNF
A sample VNF that simulates a Content Deployment Caching node and can be used to evaluate Akraino cluster functionality
Redfish
Scripts for bare metal configuration and OS deployment via the Redfish API with OEM specific extensions.
Test Automation
Tempest tests for evaluating OpenStack functionality within an Akraino cluster
Airship in a Bottle
Scripts for deploying a single node Openstack environment using Airship-in-a-bottle.
