============================================
O-RAN Specification Compliant O2 Interfaces
============================================
Storyboard:
https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2010278
To facilitate the integration of components in context of O-RAN architecture,
O-RAN Alliance publishes a set of specifications to normalize the interfaces
between them, as far as O-Cloud concerned, the O2 interfaces are specified
between O-Cloud and O-RAN SMO. As part of effort to make StarlingX be compliant
to O-RAN specifications, oran O2 service is developed and integrated into
StarlingX (either standalone mode or distributed cloud mode) to expose O2
interfaces towards to SMO.
Problem description
===================
Users want to integrate StarlingX as O-Cloud to O-RAN SMO via O2 interfaces
published by O-RAN Specifications as below:
`WG6: O-RAN O2ims Interface Specification v3.00 <https://oranalliance.atlassian
.net/wiki/spaces/TSC/pages/2570617688/APPROVED+-+WG6+O-RAN+O2ims+Interface+
Specification+v3.00>`_
`WG6: O-RAN O2dms Interface Specification: Kubernetes Native API Profile for
Containerized NFs v2.00 <https://oranalliance.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TSC/
pages/2570715602/APRROVED+-+WG6+O-RAN+O2dms+Interface+Specification+Kubernetes+
Native+API+Profile+for+Containerized+NFs+v2.00>`_
Hence it is expected that following O2 services are deployed over StarlingX:
* O2ims_InfrastructureInventory
* O2ims_InfrastructureMonitoring
* O2dms in Kubernetes native API profile
Use Cases
---------
This feature addresses several use cases specified by:
`WG6: O-RAN Cloudification and Orchestration Use Cases and Requirements for
O-RAN Virtualized RAN v5.00 <https://oranalliance.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/
TSC/pages/2569831376/APPROVED+-+WG6+O-RAN+Cloudification+and+Orchestration+
Use+Cases+and+Requirements+for+O-RAN+Virtualized+RAN+v5.00>`_
Specifically, the following Use cases and Requirements should be realized:
* O-Cloud Registration and Initialization Use Case
* O-Cloud Inventory Update Use Case
* Network Function Basic Use Cases
* Fault Use Cases
The use cases above should be applicable to StarlingX in either standalone
mode or distributed cloud mode.
Proposed change
===============
An `oran-o2 service <https://docs.o-ran-sc.org/projects/o-ran-sc-pti-o2/
en/latest/index.html>` has been developed as part of INF project of o-ran
software community.
This oran-o2 service has been designed and implemented to host the o2ims
services including O2ims_InfrastructureInventory,
O2ims_InfrastructureMonitoring, and other O2 services in future to represent
StarlingX as an O-RAN Specifications compliant O-Cloud.
This oran-o2 service will be packaged as a new FluxCD based containerized
application. Users decide whether to deploy this oran-o2 service and when.
In case of StarlingX in distributed cloud mode, oran-o2 will be deployed
over system controller only.
Fundamentally, the oran-o2 services act as a mapping layer to map between
StarlingX resources and corresponding service objects of O-RAN specifications.
Specifically, the following O-RAN service objects are mapped to StarlingX
resources:
================= ================================ ===========================
O-RAN model StarlingX in standalone mode StarlingX in distributed
cloud mode
================= ================================ ===========================
O-Cloud a StarlingX instance a System Controller and all
subclouds it manages
ResourceType StarlingX sysinv API resource StarlingX sysinv API
kind resource kind, refer /o2ims
-infrastructureInventory/v1
/resourceTypes for examples
ResourcePool a StarlingX instance a instance of subcloud,
refer to /o2ims-
infrastructureInventory/v1
/resourcePools for examples
Resource Specific instance of StarlingX Specific instance of
sysinv API resource sysinv API resource,
refer to /o2ims-
infrastructureInventory/v1
/resourcePools/
{resourcePoolID}/resources
for examples
DeploymentManager a single Kubernetes cluster a single Kubernetes cluster
hosted by a StarlingX instance hosted by a subcloud,
refer to /o2ims-
infrastructureInventory/v1
/deploymentManagers
for examples
AlarmDefinition Fault Management Alarm Message Fault Management Alarm
definition Message definition
AlarmEventRecord an occurrence of Fault an occurrence of Fault
Management Alarm Message Management Alarm Message
AlarmSeverity Fault Management Alarm Severity Fault Management Alarm
Severity
================= ================================ ===========================
..
The resources of RegionOne of system controller can also be
represented as a ResourcePool as well as DeploymentManager
As implementation of o2ims services, the oran o2 service monitors sysinv
resources via sysinv api, builds a cache of resources compliant to O-RAN O2
model as inventory and persists them into internal database.
On the other hand, oran o2 service exposes this inventory to SMO through a set
of O2 APIs for querying resources as well as subscribing to get notification upon
the inventory changes and alarm changes.
As implementation of o2dms, the kubernetes clsuters hosted by StarlingX will
be exposed as O2dms in kubernetes native API profile, while the access
information of these clusters are exposed as deploymentmanager object as part
of o2ims inventory. So SMO could query the it to extract the access
crendentials, and interact directly with the specific kubernetes cluster with
kubernetes native APIs.
To make oran o2 service survive through the migration of oran-o2 pods among
different StarlingX hosts, the inventory database is persisted by leveraging
kubernetes PV volumes.
Alternatives
------------
It has been considered to couple the o2ims service with sysinv service to
optimize the efficiency of monitoring sysinv resource changes. However, given
that O-RAN specifications is still in early stage of its rapid evolution
progress, it is decided to decouple these two services and integrating them
by utilizing existing sysinv API for now.
Data model impact
-----------------
As part of the o2ims inventory, a new group of tables will be introduced to
persist O-RAN modeling compliant objects representing StarlingX sysinv resources.
This inventory is internally managed as part of deployment of oran o2 service.
The diagram below shows the new table names and relationships.
..
+-----------+
+-----+ ocloud +---+
| +-----------+ |
| |
| |
|N |N
+------------+------+ +----------+-----+ +------------------+
| | | resourcepool | | alarmSubscription|
|deploymentmanager | | | | |
+-------------------+ +-------+--------+ +------------------+
|
+--------------+ |
| subscription | |N
+--------------+ +-------+--------+ +-----------------+
| resource |1 |alarmEventRecord |
+---------------+ | +----+ |
| configuration | +------+---------+ +------+----------+
+---------------+ | |
| |
|1 |
+------+---------+ 1 |
| resourcetype +-----------+
+----------------+
The resourcetype table is populated with predefined resourcetypes as below:
- pserver
- pserver_cpu
- pserver_mem
- pserver_ethernet
- pserver_if
The resource table contains specific o2ims resources which represents the
corresponding sysinv resource accordingly to predefined resourcetypes. The
resource are organized in a hierachical way to represent the relationship
between each other, e.g. an instance of pserver_cpu refers to a instance of
pserver with its parentid. an instance of pserver refers to an instance of
resourcepool which represents the subcloud.
The resourcepool table contains representations of each subcloud.
The deploymentmanager table contains representations of kubernetes cluster
for each subcloud
The ocloud table contains a single representation of StarlingX instance in
either standalone mode or distributed cloud mode.
The subscription table contains information of subscribers which are interested
in receiving notification upon the changes of o2ims inventory.
The configuration table contains provisioning information, e.g., smo endpoint
for o-cloud registration
The alarmSubscription table contains information of subscribers which are
integrated in receiving alarm notification.
The alarmEventRecord table contains information of alarms generated by
StarlingX system.
REST API impact

Security impact
---------------
oran-o2 services exposes API endpoints towards a single SMO which should be
specified during provisioning time, so it is critical to reach mutually trusts
with following approach:
* The SMO API endpoint which is provisioned to oran-o2 for O-Cloud registration
should be protected by https.
* The oran-o2 API endpoint will be protected by https, the certificate
management will be manually done for now, and will be integrated with
cert-manager in future.
* An initial token will be provided to SMO during O-Cloud registration.
* SMO should use that token to request oran-o2 service via API endpoint.
* The token should be renewed before it is expired and dispatch to SMO by
oran-o2 service
* The token received from SMO via its API requests will be validated against
authentication provider. The authentication provider is the kubernetes
APIserver which hosts the oran o2 service, and can be extended in future to
support other authentication providers, e.g., the openstack keystone service
of StarlingX.
* The token management will be manually done for now and will be automated
in future.
* There is no user sensitive data involved.
* There is no need for cryptography, but need hashing for checksum of
resource information.
* There is no need for sudor or any elevated privileges.
* The oran-o2 requires openstack admin permission to interact with sysinv APIs.
* The oran-o2 requires a kubernetes service account with binding of a
clusterRole to able to interact with kubernetes APIserver.
Other end user impact
---------------------
This oran-o2 service exposes new set of APIs for SMO, but it does not affect
existing python-client of other StarlingX services
Performance Impact
------------------
The oran-o2 service should be no impact on system performance for following
reasons:
* As mentioned in problem description, oran-o2 will monitor the changes of
sysinv resources via sysinv API, hence there is a background task polling
the sysinv resources via sysinv API periodically. The configurable polling
interval is in seconds level and executed in a sequential way for
querying sysinv resources. It is expected this periodic task will not impact
system's performance.
* There are no database queries to system.
* There is no locking to access system resource exclusively.
* The oran-o2 service is deployed as kubernetes workload hence the consumed
resources are predicted by resource allocation at deployment phase.
Other deployer impact
---------------------
None
Developer impact
----------------
This is a new and standalone system application, it will not impact developers
working on other features.
Upgrade impact
--------------
The oran-o2 has dependencies on few sysinv API as well as the kubernetes
version, it should be upgraded accordingly if these components upgrading breaks
the dependencies.
The oran-o2 does not affect the system's upgrade since it is designed as a
standalone system application deployed over system.
The oran-o2 is implemented in cloud native way, it supports migration between hosts
by nature.
