It is targeted towards supporting many +network controllers, service orchestrators, VNF managers, Operation and +Business Support Systems. Producers of Network Service Descriptors (NSDs) +and VNF Descriptors (VNFD) use Domino Service as an entry point to publish +these descriptors. Currently Domino only supports Tosca Simple Profile for +Network Functions Virtualization (http://docs.oasis-open.org/tosca/tosca-nfv/v1.0/tosca-nfv-v1.0.html) as the data model for NSDs and VNFDs. + +Orchestrators, controllers, and managers use Domino service to announce their +capabilities in the form of policy labels. For instance a Virtual Infrastructure +Manager (VIM) that is capable of performing an affinity based VNF or VDU +placement at host machine granularity can specify a label in the form "tosca.policies.Placement.affinity:properties:granularity:hostlevel". When the VIM registers +with Domino Service and subscribed for that label, Domino views this VIM as a +candidate location that can host a VNF or VDU requesting affinity based placement +policy at host machine granularity. |
