Kubernetes deployment (KUD) is a project that uses Kubespray to bring up a Kubernetes deployment and some addons on a provisioned machine. As it already part of ONAP it can be effectively reused to deploy the K8s App components(as shown in fig. II), NFV Specific components and NFVi SDN controller in the edge cluster. In R2 release KuD will be used to deploy the K8s addon such as Virlet, OVN, NFD, and Intel device plugins such as SRIOV and QAT SRIOV in the edge location(as shown in figure I). In R3 release, KuD will be evolved as "ICN Operator" to install all K8s addons. For more information on the architecture of KuD please find the information here.
...
NFV Specific components: This block is responsible for k8s compute management to support both software and hardware acceleration(include network acceleration) with CPU pinning and Device plugins such as QAT, SRIOV
SDN Controller components: This block is responsible for managing SDN controller and to provide additional features such as Service Function chaining(SFC) and Network Route manager.

ONAP is used as Service orchestration in ICN BP. A lightweight golang version of ONAP is developed as part of Multicloud-k8s project in ONAP community. ICN BP developed containerized KUD multi-cluster to install the onap4k8s as a plugin in any cluster provisioned by BPA operator. ONAP4k8s installed EdgeX Foundry Workload, vFW application to install in any edge location.

SDEWAN:
SDWAN module is worked as a software-defined router which can be used to define the rules when connecting to the external internet. It is implemented as CNF instead of VNF for better performance and effective deployment, and leverage OpenWRT (an open-source project based on Linux, and used on embedded devices to route network traffic) and mwan3 package (for wan interfaces management) to implement its functionalities, detail information can be found at: SDWAN Module Design ICN - SDEWAN

Cloud Storage:
Cloud Storage which used by BPA Rest Agent to provide storage service for image objects with binary, container and operating system. There are 2 solutions, MinIO and GridFS, with the consideration of Cloud native and Data reliability, we propose to use MinIO, which is CNCF project for object storage and compatible with Amazon S3 API, and provide language plugins for client application, it is also easy to deploy in Kubernetes and flexible scale-out. MinIO also provide storage service for HTTP Server. Since MinIO need export volume in bootstrap, local-storage is a simple solution but lack of reliability for the data safety, we will switch to reliability volume provided by Ceph CSI RBD in next release.
