NONRTRIC (John Keeney)

  • JIRA: NONRTRIC-944 - Getting issue details... STATUS
  • Lots still to do!
• Continue work on rApp Manager - as a focal point for tying together alot of other existing activities
  • Working on some sample rApps. e.g. See Release J: Simple rApp using Hello World Microservice
  • Aim to have an updated version in coming weeks
  • Working on SME & DME integration & improvements
• Continue maturing the A1-Policy Controller function (ref ONAP) - including a potential new NBI (v3) to achieve R1 alignment
  • Current API will be maintained but deprecated for several releases to come.
  • New API development ongoing. May be some questions for R1-A1-P spec in March train ... TBC
    
• Trying to consolidate deployment charts and scripts - currently have multiple versions, with some inconsistencies/differences. Will be ongoing for some time.
• Still need to get working on a proper A1-Policy Integration test with OSC near-RT-RIC (A1 Mediator)
• Otherwise Continuing tasks as mentioned previous weeks.
  
  • Will need to de-prioritise many of the older less-used NONRTRIC functions - we welcome others in the community to help take these on if interested.
    • Need to study how/if we can achieve R1-DME alignment. Specs continue to diverge from our implementation - with alot of effort need to align.  We welcome contributors to help here.
