Resource Capacity Management
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Subscribe Capacity Change Event
_______________________________

**SubscribeRequest (Consumer -> VIM)**

.. uml::

   @startuml
   class SubscribeRequest {
      + zone [0..N]: Identifier
      + attributes [0..1]: String
      + resourceItems [0..1]: String
      + thresholds [0..N]: String
      + notificationId [0..1]: Identifier
   }
   @enduml

Subscription from Consumer to VIM to be notified about capacity changes.
Input Parameters:

* Zone [0..N]: Identification of the zone(s) to notify regarding capacity
  change events
* Attributes [0..1]: Attributes of resource items to be notified regarding
  capacity change events
* ResourceItems [0..1]: Identifiers of existing resource items to be notified
  regarding capacity change events (such as images, flavors, virtual
  containers, networks, physical machines, etc.)
* Thresholds [0..N]: Lower/Upper limits for triggering change event for
  used/reserved/total capacity change for specified resource items
* NotificationId [0..1]: Identification of existing capacity change event
  notification issued by the VIM. When specified, the previously defined
  conditions for change event notifications will be re-used and notification
  sent to the additional requestor.

Application/json::

  {
    "zone": ["opnfv-JP8", "opnfv-JP9"],
    "resourceitems": "numvcinstances"
  }

**SubscribeReply (VIM -> Consumer)**

.. uml::

   @startuml
   class SubscribeReply {
      + subscriptionId [1]: Identifier
      + created [1]: DateTime
      + message [0..1]: String
   }
   @enduml

Reply Parameters:

* subscriptionId (Identifier): Identification of the created subscription to
  receive notifications about capacity change events
* created (DateTime): Timestamp when subscription has been created
* message [0..1] (String): Output message that provides additional information
  about the subscribe request

Application/json::

  {
    "created": "2015-03-23T00:00:01Z",
    "subscriptionId": "abcdef-ghijkl-123456789"
  }

Query Resource Capacity
_______________________

**QueryRequest (NFVO -> VIM)**

.. uml::

   @startuml
   class QueryCapacityRequest {
      + capacityQueryFilter [0..1]: CapacityQueryFilterClass
   }

   class CapacityQueryFilter {
      + zone [0..1]: Identifier
      + resourceItems [0..1]: String
      + flavorID [0..1]: Identifier
      + timePeriod [0..1]: DateTime
   }

   QueryCapacityRequest "1" *- "0..1" CapacityQueryFilter : ""
   @enduml

.. -*

Request to find out about used, reserved and total capacity.
A CapacityQueryFilter can be used to narrow down the capacity details returned
in the response message.

Input Parameters:

* capacityQueryFilter (CapacityQueryFilterClass): Optional information to
  narrow down the QueryCapacityRequest, for example to limit the query to given
  resource items, or a given resource zone. The capacityQueryFilter can also
  include a FlavorId or template ID. In this case, the QueryCapacity is a
  request to obtain information of the number of virtual resources that can be
  instantiated according to this flavor with the actual available capacity.
  A timePeriod can be specified to narrow down the query to a certain period of time.

Application/json::

  {
    "capacityqueryfilter": {
      "resourceitems": "numvcinstances,virtualmemorysize",
      "zone": "opnfv-JP7"
    }
  }

**QueryReply (VIM -> NFVO)**

.. uml::

   @startuml
   class QueryCapacityReply {
      + capacityInformation [0..N]: CapacityInformationClass
      + zone [0..1]: Identifier
      + lastUpdate [0..1]: DateTime
      + message [0..1]: String
   }

   QueryCapacityReply "1" *- "0..N" CapacityInformationClass : ""
   @enduml

.. -*

Reply Parameters:

* capacityInformation [0..N] (CapacityInformationClass): Capacity information
  matching the CapacityQueryFilter specified in the QueryCapacityRequest
* Zone [0..1] (Identifier): Identification of the resource zone
* lastUpdate [0..1] (DateTime): Timestamp of the capacity last update
* message [0..1] (String): Output message that provides additional information
  about the query capacity request

Application/json::

  {
    "capacityInformation": {
      "numvcinstances": {
        "used": 5,
        "reserved": 1,

Detailed Message Flows
----------------------

Resource Capacity Management
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. figure:: images/figure5.png
   :name: figure5
   :width: 90%

   Capacity Management Scenario

:numref:`figure5` shows a detailed message flow between the consumers and the
functional blocks inside the VIM and has the following steps:

Step 1: The consumer subscribes to capacity change notifications

Step 2: The Capacity Manager monitors the capacity information for the various
types of resources by querying the various Controllers (e.g. Nova, Neutron,
Cinder), either periodically or on demand and updates capacity information in
the Capacity Map

Step 3: Capacity changes are notified to the consumer

Step 4: The consumer queries the Capacity Manager to retrieve capacity detailed
information

Resource Reservation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. figure:: images/figure6.png
   :name: figure6
   :width: 90%

   Resource Reservation for Future Use Scenario

:numref:`figure6` shows a detailed message flow between the consumers and
the functional blocks inside the VIM and has the following steps:

Step 1: The consumer creates a resource reservation request for future use by
setting a start and end time for the allocation

Step 2: The consumer gets an immediate reply with a reservation status message
"reservationStatus" and an identifier to be used with this reservation instance
"reservationID"

Step 3: The consumer subscribes to reservation notification events

Step 4: The Resource Reservation Manager checks the feasibility of the
reservation request by consulting the Capacity Manager

Step 5: The Resource Reservation Manager reserves the resources and stores the
list of reservations IDs generated by the Controllers (e.g. Nova, Neutron,
Cinder) in the Reservation Map

Step 6: Once the reservation process is completed, the VIM sends a notification
message to the consumer with information on the reserved resources

Step 7: When start time arrives, the consumer creates a resource allocation
request.

Step 8: The consumer gets an immediate reply with an allocation status message
"allocationStatus".

Step 9: The consumer subscribes to allocation notification events

Step 10: The Resource Allocation Manager allocates the reserved resources. If
not all reserved resources are allocated before expiry, the reserved resources
are released and a notification is sent to the consumer

Step 11: Once the allocation process is completed, the VIM sends a notification
message to the consumer with information on the allocated resources
