+Architecture
+============
Architectural Concept
-=====================
+---------------------
The following example diagram illustrates a "relationship diagram" type view of an NFVI platform, in which the roles of components focused on policy management, services, and infrastructure are shown. This view illustrates that a large-scale deployment of NFVI may leverage multiple components of the same "type" (e.g. SDN Controller), which fulfill specific purposes for which they are optimized. For example, a global SDN controller and cloud orchestrator can act as directed by a service orchestrator in the provisioning of VNFs per intent, while various components at a local and global level handle policy-related events directly and/or feed them back through a closed-loop policy design that responds as needed, directly or through the service orchestrator.

-Requirements
-============
-General requirements for a policy architecture are below, with an assessment of the current state of support for these across major OPNFV components (1=poor, 5=excellent).
-
- 1. Polled monitoring: Exposure of state via request-response APIs.
- 2. Notifications: Exposure of state via pub-sub APIs.
- 3. Realtime/near-realtime notifications: Notifications that occur in actual or near realtime.
- 4. Delegated policy: CRUD operations on policies that are distributed to specific components for local handling, including one/more of monitoring, violation reporting, and enforcement.
- 5. Violation reporting: Reporting of conditions that represent a policy violation.
- 6. Reactive enforcement: Enforcement actions taken in response to policy violation events.
- 7. Proactive enforcement: Enforcement actions taken in advance of policy violation events, e.g. blocking actions that could result in a policy violation.
- 8. Compliance auditing: Periodic auditing of state against policies.

This is a "requirements" project with initial goal to assess "off the shelf" basic OPNFV platform support for policy management, using existing open source projects such as OpenStack Congress and OpenDaylight Group-Based Policy (GBP). The project will assess what policy-related features are currently supported through research into the related projects in OpenStack and ODL, and testing of integrated vanilla distributions of those and other dependent open source projects in the OPNFV’s NFVI platform scope. \ No newline at end of file

+Use Cases
+=========
+
+NFVI Self-Service Constraints
+-----------------------------
+
+As an NFVI provider, I need to ensure that my self-service tenants are not able to configure their VNFs in ways that would impact other tenants or the reliability, security, etc of the NFVI.
+
+Example: Network Access Control
+...............................
+
+Networks connected to VMs must be public, or owned by someone in the VM owner's group.
+
+This use case captures the intent of the following sub-use-cases:
+
+ * Link Mirroring: As a troubleshooter, I need to mirror traffic from physical or virtual network ports so that I can investigate trouble reports.
+ * Link Mirroring: As a NFVaaS tenant, I need to be able to mirror traffic on my virtual network ports so that I can investigate trouble reports.
+ * Unauthorized Link Mirroring Prevention: As a NFVaaS tenant, I need to be able to prevent other tenants from mirroring traffic on my virtual network ports so that I can protect the privacy of my service users.
+ * Link Mirroring Delegation: As a NFVaaS tenant, I need to be able to allow my NFVaaS SP customer support to mirror traffic on my virtual network ports so that they can assist in investigating trouble reports.
+
+As implemented through OpenStack Congress:
+
+.. code::
+
+ error :-
+ nova:vm(vm),
+ neutron:network(network),
+ nova:network(vm, network),
+ neutron:private(network),
+ nova:owner(vm, vm-own),
+ neutron:owner(network, net-own),
+ -same-group(vm-own, net-own)
+
+ same-group(user1, user2) :-
+ ldap:group(user1, g),
+ ldap:group(user2, g)
+
+
+Storage Access Control
+......................
+
+Storage resources connected to VMs must be owned by someone in the VM owner's group.
+
+As implemented through OpenStack Congress:
+
+.. code::
+
+ error :-
+ nova:vm(vm),
+ cinder:volumes(volume),
+ nova:volume(vm, volume),
+ nova:owner(vm, vm-own),
+ neutron:owner(volume, vol-own),
+ -same-group(vm-own, vol-own)
+
+ same-group(user1, user2) :-
+ ldap:group(user1, g),
+ ldap:group(user2, g)
+
+Resource Reclamation
+--------------------
+
+As a service provider or tenant, I need to be informed of VMs that are under-utilized so that I can reclaim the VI resources. (example from `RuleYourCloud blog <http://ruleyourcloud.com/2015/03/12/scaling-up-congress.html>`_)
+
+As implemented through OpenStack Congress:
+
+.. code::
+
+ reclaim_server(vm) :-
+ ceilometer:stats("cpu_util",vm, avg_cpu),
+ lessthan(avg_cpu, 1)
+
+ error(user_id, email, vm_name) :-
+ reclaim_server(vm),
+ nova:servers(vm, vm_name, user_id),
+ keystone:users(user_id, email)
+
+Workload Placement
+------------------
+
+Affinity
+........
+
+Ensures that the VM instance is launched "with affinity to" specific resources, e.g. within a compute or storage cluster. This is analogous to the affinity rules in `VMWare vSphere DRS <https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.vsphere.resmgmt.doc_50/GUID-FF28F29C-8B67-4EFF-A2EF-63B3537E6934.html>`_. Examples include: "Same Host Filter", i.e. place on the same compute node as a given set of instances, e.g. as defined in a scheduler hint list.
+
+Anti-Affinity
+.............
+
+Ensures that the VM instance is launched "with anti-affinity to" specific resources, e.g. outside a compute or storage cluster, or geographic location. This filter is analogous to the anti-affinity rules in vSphere DRS. Examples include: "Different Host Filter", i.e. ensures that the VM instance is launched on a different compute node from a given set of instances, as defined in a scheduler hint list.
+
+Configuration Auditing
+----------------------
+
+As a service provider or tenant, I need to periodically verify that resource configuration requirements have not been violated, as a backup means to proactive or reactive policy enforcement.
+
