Tacker is OpenStack based generic NFV Orchestrator and VNF Manager that instantiates and manages Virtual Network Functions(VNF). Virtualisation Deployment Unit(VDU) is the granular part of VNF which hosts the network functionality in the nova instance.
Currently, Tacker requires glance images or image location which has preinstalled network function like firewall etc., One of key requirements of operators is to have loose coupling software component and the underlying image.
As per ETSI MANO standard, VNF Component(VNFC) is the object which creates network function in the underlying nova instance. In this talk, we are going to walk through the following points.
- How Tacker adopts VNFC to instantiate the network function in VDUs.
- Onboarding of VNF Descriptor which embeds VNFC and deployment of VNFs.
- Various drivers in Tacker which supports communication with VDUs and how to introduce a new VNFC driver.
The attendees take aways are:
- Understand how to write VNFC using TOSCA templates
- Understand various VNFC drivers Tacker supports.
- Learn how easily we can upgrade network function using VNFC.
- Live Demo of a real time VNFC.
