Dear Mazin, I understand that "VNF Requirements" project is meant for the same.
I propose that we make a Generic Requirements (GR) document covering all aspects and interfaces including FCAPS. The document shall be version controlled and will mature alongside ONAP. While on boarding test/demo and commercial VNFs, we may seek compliance document from the VNF provider with respect to the GR.

We can then discuss and have them vetted by the TSC. Having access to the VNF in a testing lab with continuous support is necessary but not sufficient. We need to ensure that VNFs evolve towards supporting ONAP VNF requirements so we harmonize telemetry, alarms, etc. This is crucial to avoid writing custom code for each service, and each VNF.

I do not find any improper to leverage commercial VNFs or infrastructure for testing open source code. I do not object introducing open source infrastructure and VNFs for ONAP testing. I just have the same concern with Oliver in previous mail, that is if someone can commit the support to the open source infrastructure or VNFs. I believe efficient support with quick response is critical for testing. Otherwise developers might struggle in the mire of bugs in ONAP and also bugs in infrastructure or VNFs. ZTE have committed to provides our commercial vEPC for voLTE use case that means we also committed support during testing. So we need volunteers commit their support on any open source infrastructure or VNFs.

It will complicate how “open” the labs actually are, e.g. who has the ability to use what where, and the transparency of test results with/against specific proprietary components. Certainly it would be useful to provide some environment in which commercial NFVI platforms or VNFs are tested against the ONAP platform, and takeaways from that used to help improve the project. But that environment would probably need to be separate from the main “open” labs or more tightly controlled, as access to the proprietary components/VNFs would be problematic. An alternative to using proprietary NFVI platforms is to focus the integration testing in the OPNFV, where open source versions of NFVI platforms are freely available for testing with. Integrating/testing with these (currently RedHat/RDO, Ubuntu, Mirantis, and Huawei) can address probably the vast majority of issues in ONAP-NFVI interop, and a side benefit is that any gaps would be addressed in an open source space (avoiding the temptation to address gaps by adding proprietary feature compatibility into ONAP). We are planning to drive ONAP-NFVI integration in OPNFV for that purpose over the current and next release. I will be giving a talk on this at the OPNFV Summit the week after next, so invite any more detailed discussion on what’s planned.

I would suggest that the TSC will consider the following before making a decision: As it was agreed by both the TSC and the wider ONAP community, using real life use case like the proposed VoLTE and vCPE use cases for release 1 is very important to ensure that ONAP is built from day 1 in a way that will provide close implementation to a real-life use case which can provide proper foundation to use ONAP in commercial deployment, and implementation of real life use case can have a great contribution to the success of this project. ONAP as orchestration / MANO project require NFVI+VIMs (clouds) to run on, and VNFs to run to create the services. The use of commercial NFVI+VIMs and VNFs for the use case implementation and open lab / integration can have a big positive impact on our ability to be as close as possible to a real-life usage scenario. Limiting the usage *to only open source* solutions will limit dramatically the ability to get there. Not saying we should not use open source VNFs and NFVI+VIMs, but I hope we wouldn’t limit ourselves to only open source VNFs & NFVI+VIM in the open lab / integration lab and for the release 1 use cases, same like we would not limit yourself to only use open source hardware. I hope this can be considered, and thanks for your consideration.
