NS Deployment with OSM, MAAS, and RPI

Introduction

The NS deployment follows 3 days process. All 3 days process can be summarized as follows:

• Day0: VNF Instantiation & Management setup

This is the first of 3 steps, it prepares infrastructure for network service by deploying the operating system, configuring user authentication (SSH, login), reading network connection, etc. In this step, OSM extracts deployment specs (OS, CPU, RAM, Network, etc.), cloud-init script, and sends to MAAS (RO-VIM Plugin) to select a machine, deployment OS image, and run cloud-init. Once deployed, OSM will get the machine management IP address (accessible from OSM). This IP address is for the Day1-2 configuration.

• Day1: VNF Services Initialization:

• Day2: VNF Runtime Operations:
