The Python version of the Open Baton vnfm-sdk

Project description

Python version of the vnfm-sdk

This project contains a vnfm sdk for python projects.

Technical Requirements

This section covers the requirements that must be met by the python-vnfm-sdk in order to satisfy the demands for such a component:

  • python 2.7 or 3.5

  • pika

How to install the python-vfnm-sdk

The safer way to start is to use a virtual environment. Once activated, just run

pip install python-vnfm-sdk

How to use the python-vfnm-sdk

First step, let’s create a configuration file for the VNFManager under: /etc/openbaton/<type>/conf.ini (where type is the endpoint specified in the vnfd.json)

This file should be like this:

[vnfm]

log_path=/var/log/openbaton/
broker_ip=localhost
username=admin
password=openbaton
heartbeat=60
exchange=openbaton-exchange

where:

name

description

log_path

path where the logfile will be written

broker_ip

Ip of the rabbitmq broker used by the nfvo

username

username for the rabbitmq broker used by the nfvo

password

password for the rabbitmq broker used by the nfvo

exchange

exchange name used in the rabbitmq broker by the nfvo

heartbeat

heartbeat for the rabbitmq connection

After installing the sdk, you will be able to write a Vnfm that inherit the AbstractVnfm class in this way:

import json
import logging.config

from interfaces.AbstractVnfmABC import AbstractVnfm

class PythonVnfm(AbstractVnfm):
    def upgradeSoftware(self):
        pass

    def updateSoftware(self):
        pass

    def terminate(self, vnf_record):
        log.info("Executing TERMINATE for VNFR: %s" % vnf_record.get("name"))
        return vnf_record

    def stopVNFCInstance(self, vnf_record, vnfc_instance):
        pass

    def stop(self, vnf_record):
        pass

    def startVNFCInstance(self, vnf_record, vnfc_instance):
        pass

    def start(self, vnf_record):
        log.info("Executing start for VNFR: %s" % vnf_record.get("name"))
        return vnf_record

    def scale(self, scale_out, vnf_record, vnf_component, scripts, dependency):
        pass

    def query(self):
        pass

    def notifyChange(self):
        pass

    def modify(self, vnf_record, dependency):
        log.info("Executing modify for VNFR: %s" % vnf_record.get("name"))
        return vnf_record

    def instantiate(self, vnf_record, scripts, vim_instances):
        log.info("Executing instantiate for VNFR: %s" % vnf_record.get("name"))
        return vnf_record

    def heal(self, vnf_record, vnf_instance, cause):
        pass

    def handleError(self, vnf_record):
        log.info("Executing ERROR for VNFR: %s" % vnf_record.get("name"))
        return vnf_record

    def checkInstantiationFeasibility(self):
        pass

Then you must start it in this way, passing the type to the constructor

if __name__ == "__main__":
    logging.basicConfig(level="DEBUG")
    vnfm = PythonVnfm("python")
    vnfm.run()

This will register to the NFVO and start wait for the action addressed to the VNFM of type “python” in this example

What is Open Baton?

OpenBaton is an open source project providing a comprehensive implementation of the ETSI Management and Orchestration (MANO) specification.

Open Baton is a ETSI NFV MANO compliant framework. Open Baton was part of the OpenSDNCore (www.opensdncore.org) project started almost three years ago by Fraunhofer FOKUS with the objective of providing a compliant implementation of the ETSI NFV specification.

Open Baton is easily extensible. It integrates with OpenStack, and provides a plugin mechanism for supporting additional VIM types. It supports Network Service management either using a generic VNFM or interoperating with VNF-specific VNFM. It uses different mechanisms (REST or PUB/SUB) for interoperating with the VNFMs. It integrates with additional components for the runtime management of a Network Service. For instance, it provides autoscaling and fault management based on monitoring information coming from the the monitoring system available at the NFVI level.
