In resource reservation, VIM reserves resources for a certain +period as requested by the NFVO. A resource reservation will have a start time +which could be into the future. Therefore, the reserved resources shall be +available for the NFVO requested purpose (e.g. for a VNF) at the start time for +the duration asked by NFVO. Resources include all three resource types in an +NFVI i.e. compute, storage and network. + +Besides, NFVO requires abstracted NFVI resource capacity information in order +to take decisions on VNF placement and other operations related to the virtual +resources. VIM is required to inform the NFVO of NFVI resource state +information for this purpose. Promise project aims at delivering the detailed +requirements on these two features defined in ETSI NFV MAN GS [5], the list of +gaps in upstream projects, potential implementation architecture and plan, and +the VIM northbound interface specification for resource reservation and +capacity management. + +Problem description +=================== + +OpenStack, a prominent candidate for the VIM, cannot reserve resources for +future use. OpenStack requires immediate instantiation of Virtual Machines +(VMs) in order to occupy resources intended to be reserved. Blazar can reserve +compute resources for future by keeping the VMs in shelved mode. However, such +reserved resources can also be used for scaling out rather than new VM +instantiation. Blazar does not support network and storage resource reservation +yet. + +Besides, OpenStack does not provide a northbound interface through which it can +notify an upper layer management entity e.g. NFVO about capacity changes in its +NFVI, periodically or in an event driven way. Capacity management is a feature +defined in ETSI NFV MAN GS [5] and is required in network operation. diff --git a/requirements/resource_management/02-usecase.rst b/requirements/resource_management/02-usecase.rst new file mode 100644 index 0000000..b1a1cfa --- /dev/null +++ b/requirements/resource_management/02-usecase.rst @@ -0,0 +1,97 @@ +======================= +Use cases and scenarios +======================= + +Resource reservation is a basic feature in any virtualization-based network +operation. In order to perform such resource reservation from NFVO to VIM, NFVI +capacity information is also necessary at the NFVO side. Below, four use cases +to show typical requirements and solutions for capacity management and resource +reservation is presented. + +#. Resource capacity management +#. Resource reservation for immediate use +#. Resource reservation for future use +#. Co-existence of reservations and allocation requests without reservation + +Resource capacity management +============================ + +NFVO takes the first decision on in which NFVI it would instantiate a VNF. +Along with NFVIs resource attributes (e.g. availability of hardware +accelerators, particular CPU architectures etc.), NFVO needs to know available +capacity of an NFVI in order to make an informed decision on selecting +a particular NFVI. Such capacity information shall be in a coarser granularity +than the respective VIM, as VIM maintains capacity information of its NFVI +in fine details. However a very coarse granularity, like simply the number of +available virtual CPU cores, may not be sufficient. In order to allow the NFVO +to make well founded allocation decisions, an appropriate level to expose the +available capacity may be per flavor. Capacity information may be required for +the complete NFVI, or per partition or availability zone, or other +granularities. Therefore, VIM requires to inform the NFVO about available +capacity information regarding its NFVI at a pre-determined abstraction, either +by a query-response, or in an event-based, or in a periodical way. + +Resource reservation for immediate use +====================================== + +Reservation is inherently for the future. Even if some reserved resources are +to be consumed instantly, there is a network latency between the issuance of a +resource reservation request from the NFVO, a response from the VIM, and actual +allocation of the requested resources to a VNF/VNFM. Within such latency, +resource capacity in the NFVI in question could change, e.g., due to failure, +allocation to a different request. Therefore, the response from a VIM to the +NFVO to a resource reservation request for immediate use should have a validity +period which shows until when this VIM can hold the requested resources. During +this time, the NFVO should proceed to allocation if it wishes to consume the +reserved requested. If allocation is not performed within the validity period, +the response from VIM for a particular resource reservation request becomes +invalid and VIM is not liable to provide those resources to NFVO/VNFM anymore. +Reservations requests for immediate use do not have a start time but may have +an end time. + +Resource reservation for future use +=================================== + +Network operators may want to reserve extra resources for future use. Such +necessity could arise from predicted congestion in telecom nodes e.g. due to +local traffic spikes for concerts, natural disasters etc. In such a case, the +NFVO, while sending a resource reservation request to the VIM, shall include a +start time (and an end time if necessary). The start time indicates at what +time the reserved resource shall be available to a designated consumer e.g. a +VNF/VNFM. Here, the requirement is that the reserved resources shall be +available when the start time arrives. After the start time has arrived, the +reserved resources are allocated to the designated consumer(s). An explicit +allocation request is needed. How actually these requested resources are held +by the VIM for the period in between the arrival of the resource reservation +request and the actual allocation is outside the scope of this requirement +project. + +Co-existence of reservations and allocation requests without reservation +======================================================================== + +In a real environment VIM will have to handle allocation requests without any +time reference, i.e. time-unbound, together with time-bound reservations and +allocation requests with an explicitly indicated end-time. A granted +reservation for the future will effectively reduce the available capacity for +any new time-unbound allocation request. The consequence is that reservations, +even those far in the future, may result in denial of service for new +allocation requests. + +To alleviate this problem several approaches can be taken. They imply an +implicit or explicit priority scheme: + +* Allocation requests without reservation and which are time-unbound will be + granted resources in a best-effort way: if there is instant capacity, but the + resources may be later withdrawn due to the start time of a previously + granted reservation +* Both allocation requests and reservation requests contain a priority which + may be related to SLAs and contractual conditions between the tenant and the + NFVI provider. Interactions may look like: + + * A reservation request for future use may cancel another, not yet started, + reservation with lower priority + * An allocation request without reservations and time-unbound may be granted + resources and prevent a future reservation with lower priority from getting + resources at start time + * A reservation request may result in terminating resources allocated to a + request with no reservation, if the latter has lower priority diff --git a/requirements/resource_management/03-arch.rst b/requirements/resource_management/03-arch.rst new file mode 100755 index 0000000..23bbac7 --- /dev/null +++ b/requirements/resource_management/03-arch.rst @@ -0,0 +1,246 @@ +============================================ +High level architecture and general features +============================================ + +Architecture Overview +===================== + +.. figure:: images/figure1.png + :width: 90% + + Resource Reservation Architecture + +Figure 1 shows the high level architecture for the resource reservation use +cases.
