Topic Description

30m, @Sandeep Sharma @Vivekanandan Muthukrishnan 

In this topic, we will explore how Nephio can address the day N configuration management of PNFs/CNFs.

Topic Overview

In this presentation we will go over the following,

  • A controller(or multiple controllers) to serve declarative API for PNF configuration and management. 

  •  

    • Controller will create PNF device CRs, which define the PNF, its properties and connectivity information. 

  • CRD definition for PNF configuration, this will be the PNF configuration intent.

  • PNF configuration(data) management.

  •  

    • Vendor releases/updates configuration data, example yang models to the Nephio PNF catalog repo. 

    • Continuous reconciliation of the configuration data in all the sites. Leverage the existing tools i.e porch, configSync etc. 

  • Support for different protocols i.e NETCONF, RESTCONF.

  • PNF configuration discovery to support Plug and play of PNFs.
