ONAP Beijing Release Developer Forum

This presentation will be an introduction to the upcoming release of the Policy Lifecycle API for Beijing. The Policy Lifecycle API is being introduced to support a richer lifecycle for creating, updating, deleting, querying and deploying policy during design-time and runtime. In addition, the API will be designed and developed using ONAP RESTful API best practices. For design-time, new features will be added to support a lifecycle that mirrors current SDC functionality such as: check-in/check-out, ready for testing, submission for certification, and lastly submission for distribution. These new features will move the policy API one step closer to: 1) integration into the SDC Design-time environment, 2) ability to develop and integrate a Policy Testing/Certification platform that can support flexible environment for doing conflict detection/resolution. For run-time, new features will be added to support runtime deployment of policies that support different modes of operation such as deploying policies in different modes: active, inactive, and safe mode. Platform operations team will have the ability to easily deploy and un-deploy policies to/from the desired mode. In addition, functionality will be added to give the ability for an operations team to retire selected policies at a given date. We would like to use this session to present an overview of the Lifecycle API and garner feedback from the community on the design.
