Edge cloud has been deployed and is ready for operation +#. ONAP has been deployed onto a cloud and is interfaced (i.e. provisioned for API access) to the Edge cloud +#. Components of ONAP have been deployed on the Edge cloud as necessary for specific test objectives + +In future releases, Auto Use cases will also include the deployment of ONAP (if not already installed), the deployment +of test VNFs (pre-existing VNFs in pre-existing ONAP can be used in the test as well), the configuration of ONAP for +monitoring these VNFs (policies, CLAMP, DCAE), in addition to the test scripts which simulate a problem and measures recovery time. + +Different types of problems can be simulated, hence the identification of multiple test cases corresponding to this use case, +as illustrated in this diagram: + +.. image:: auto-UC02-testcases.jpg + +Description of simulated problems/challenges: + +* Physical Infra Failure + + * Migration upon host failure: Compute host power is interrupted, and affected workloads are migrated to other available hosts. + * Migration upon disk failure: Disk volumes are unmounted, and affected workloads are migrated to other available hosts. + * Migration upon link failure: Traffic on links is interrupted/corrupted, and affected workloads are migrated to other available hosts. + * Migration upon NIC failure: NIC ports are disabled by host commands, and affected workloads are migrated to other available hosts. + +* Virtual Infra Failure + + * OpenStack compute host service fail: Core OpenStack service processes on compute hosts are terminated, and auto-restored, or affected workloads are migrated to other available hosts. + * SDNC service fail: Core SDNC service processes are terminated, and auto-restored. + * OVS fail: OVS bridges are disabled, and affected workloads are migrated to other available hosts. + * etc. + +* Security + + * Host tampering: Host tampering is detected, the host is fenced, and affected workloads are migrated to other available hosts. + * Host intrusion: Host intrusion attempts are detected, an offending workload, device, or flow is identified and fenced, and as needed affected workloads are migrated to other available hosts. + * Network intrusion: Network intrusion attempts are detected, and an offending flow is identified and fenced. + + + + +Test execution high-level description +===================================== + +The following two MSCs (Message Sequence Charts) show the actors and high-level interactions. + +The first MSC shows the preparation activities (assuming the hardware, network, cloud, and ONAP have already been installed): +onboarding and deployment of VNFs (via ONAP portal and modules in sequence: SDC, VID, SO), and ONAP configuration +(policy framework, closed-loops in CLAMP, activation of DCAE). + +.. image:: auto-UC02-preparation.jpg + +The second MSC illustrates the pattern of all test cases for the Resiliency Improvements: +* simulate the chosen problem (a.k.a. a "Challenge") for this test case, for example suspend a VM which may be used by a VNF +* start tracking the target VNF of this test case +* measure the ONAP-orchestrated VNF Recovery Time +* then the test stops simulating the problem (for example: resume the VM that was suspended), + +In parallel, the MSC also shows the sequence of events happening in ONAP, thanks to its configuration to provide Service +Assurance for the VNF. + +.. image:: auto-UC02-pattern.jpg + + +Test design: data model, implementation modules +=============================================== + +The high-level design of classes shows the identification of several entities: +* Test Case: as identified above, each is a special case of the overall use case (e.g., categorized by challenge type) +* Test Definition: gathers all the information necessary to run a certain test case +* Metric Definition: describes a certain metric that may be measured, in addition to Recovery Time +* Challenge Definition: describe the challenge (problem, failure, stress, ...) simulated by the test case +* Recipient: entity that can receive commands and send responses, and that is queried by the Test Definition or Challenge Definition +(a recipient would be typically a management service, with interfaces (CLI or API) for clients to query) +* Resources: with 3 types (VNF, cloud virtual resource such as a VM, physical resource such as a server) + +Three of these entities have execution-time corresponding classes: +* Test Execution, which captures all the relevant data of the execution of a Test Definition +* Challenge Execution, which captures all the relevant data of the execution of a Challenge Definition +* Metric Value, which captures the a quantitative measurement of a Metric Definition (with a timestamp) + +.. image:: auto-UC02-data1.jpg + +The following diagram illustrates an implementation-independent design of the attributes of these entities: +.. image:: auto-UC02-data2.jpg + +This next diagram shows the Python classes and attributes, as implemented by this Use Case (for all test cases): + +.. image:: auto-UC02-data3.jpg + +Test definition data is stored in serialization files (Python pickles), while test execution data is stored in CSV +files, for easier post-analysis. + +The module design is straightforward: functions and classes for managing data, for interfacing with recipients, +for executing tests, and for interacting with the test user (choosing a Test Definition, showing the details +of a Test Definition, starting the execution). + +.. image:: auto-UC02-module1.jpg + +This last diagram shows the test user menu functions: + +.. image:: auto-UC02-module2.jpg + +In future releases of Auto, testing environments such as FuncTest and Yardstick might be leveraged. + +Also, anonymized test results could be collected from users willing to share them, and aggregates could be +maintained as benchmarks. + + + + + + + + diff --git a/docs/release/installation/UC03-feature.userguide.rst b/docs/release/installation/UC03-feature.userguide.rst new file mode 100644 index

If all deployed vCPEs are only +chosen from such an approved ONAP catalog, the resulting deployed end-to-end vCPE services will meet +enterprise-grade requirements. ONAP provides a NBI in addition to a standard portal, thus enabling +a programmatic deployment of VNFs, still conforming to ONAP processes. + +Moreover, ONAP also comprises real-time monitoring (by the DCAE component), which monitors performance for SLAs, +can adjust allocated resources accordingly (elastic adjustment at VNF level), and can ensure High Availability. + +DCAE executes directives coming from policies described in the Policy Framework, and closed-loop controls +described in the CLAMP component. + +Finally, this automated approach also reduces costs, since repetitive actions are designed once and executed multiple times, +as vCPEs are instantiated and decommissioned (frequent events, given the variability of business activity, +and a Small Business market similar to the Residential market: many contract updates resulting in many vCPE changes). + +NFV edge service providers need to provide site2site, site2dc (Data Center) and site2internet services to tenants +both efficiently and safely, by deploying such qualified enterprise-grade vCPE. + + +Preconditions: + +#. hardware environment in which Edge cloud may be deployed +#. an Edge cloud has been deployed and is ready for operation +#. enterprise edge devices, such as ThinCPE, have access to the Edge cloud with WAN interfaces +#.
