ICN Infra Local Controller improvement

High level (Things might change  )

• First half (Kuralamudhan Ramakrishnan Dileep Ranganathan Zhao ForrestBug fixes
• Enhancements of infra-local-controller: User experience (UI), VM based K8S etc...
• Zero Touch Provisioning ICN Launch Dashboard
• Performance Dashboard for HPA features in ICN
• Completion of EdgeXFoundry use case

SDWAN Controller

• Completion of SDWAN value-added connectivity to ICN
• K8S Native Edge secure connectivity: using  K8S CRs (firewall CRD,  NAT CRD,  IPSEC CRD, MWAN3 CRD and IPVS CRD)
• Integration of "K8S Native Edge Secure Connectivity" feature with corresponding ONAP4K8S CLUSTERLCM_SDWAN Controller and ONAP4K8S APP_LCM_SM Controller.
• IPSEC tunnelling between SDWAN controller in each edge location
• E2E testing

DCM (Distributed Cloud Manager)

• Helping ONAP4K8S Upstream project with "Distributed Cloud Manager" and corresponding integration and testing.
• Completion of EdgeXFoundry use case 
Completion of
• Development on User, Namespace, Logical cloud controller along with DCM
• E2E testing

Integration of OpenNESS with ONAP4K8s

• Using KUD to install the OpenNess edge node and Openness controller
• Using OVN4NFV in OpenNess
• Helm chart deployment for OpenNESS in ONAP4K8s
• Edge location ONAP Cluster schedule the workload directly in the OpenNess Edge location
• Traffic Rules to set with OVN using Network Policy for External Provider Network
• E2E testing

ONAP4K8S HPA Features in ICN

• FPGA. GPU, Core Pining, NUMA awareness features
• SDWAN vIPSEC uses case with Helm charts and leveraging Crypto accelerator (QAT).
• E2E testing for HPA features with a single CNFs

Distributed Analytics use case 

• Ensure that Distributed Analytics is upgraded with  OpenVINO
• Ensure that Distributed Analytics
use
• uses acceleration features.
• E2E testing

Enhancement of ICN Deployment

• vIPSEC use case with Helm charts and leveraging Crypto accelerator (QAT) device.
• Integration of OpenNESS
• Completion of enabling all device plugins to expose HW features.
• Enable DPDK for OVN CNI
• Enable QAT for virtlet. So that the VM/VNF has the capability of QAT
• ???
2nd half:Infra-global controller using Cluster API
• offline Offline installer
• Improve the performance of infra-local controllers: Ensure that 3 node cluster is brought up in less than 5 minutes - 3 Minutes is ideal.
• Reuse of bootstrap node as worker node for application workloads (Migration of infra-local controller micro-services from bootstrap K8S to application cluster as infra-local controller functionality is continue continues to be required throughout the edge life cycle to enable software upgrades/patches.
• L2/L3 Switch configuration automation (VLAN configuration and others)
• Do necessary steps to take ICN to mature stage.???
