IG1176 TOSCA Guide for Model-Driven Automation R19.0.1

This report explores the use of TOSCA templates to describe the complete commercial, operational and technical onboarding metadata needed to drive the onboarding processes envisaged in the RN365 Release Notes for IG1141 Procurement and Onboarding Suite R18.0 studies.

The report looks at a number of use cases, but focuses on physically related devices, which may be realized as traditional network appliances or as virtualized applications running on a Virtual Machine or cloud infrastructure. The goal is to develop a metadata structure in TOSCA that supports onboarding of both network appliances and network applications.

Due to the complexity and maturity of the analysis, this version is a snapshot of the team’s thinking, and feedback from the wider membership is solicited to drive the development of the next version and any associated Catalyst projects.
