Open Baton Client

Open Baton Client contains the Open Baton SDK and the Open Baton command-line interface. The SDK provides methods to access the RESTful NFVO API. The command-line interface enables you to use the OpenBaton SDK via the command-line.

Project Structure

The project contains the two modules cli and sdk.

How to install the Open Baton Client

Git clone this project. Navigate into the root directory of the project and execute ./gradlew build.

How to use the command-line interface

Documentation

• Command-line interface
• SDK

Set the required environment variables

Navigate into the project's root directory and execute source nfvo.properties. A dialog appears and will ask you for some properties.

Network Service Record Subcommands

• create

  • Create a Network Service Record from a Network Service Descriptor stored in the orchestrator

    $ openbaton.sh NetworkServiceRecord-create id-network-service-descriptor vim-map-file keypair-file configurations-file

The three arguments after the NSD id can be used to specify the VIM on which a VDU should be deployed, the keypairs that shall be used to deploy the NSR and configuration parameters for the VNFRs.
If you want to specify the VIM to use for a particular VDU you can pass a file containing a map like this:

   {"vdu1Name":["vim1","vim2","vim3"], "vdu2Name":["vim1"]}

In this case the VDU named vdu2Name would be deployed on vim1 and the VDU named vdu1Name randomly on one of the VIMs vim1, vim2 or vim3.

The second command argument specifies a file containing a list that describes which keypairs shall be used to deploy the NSR. Here is an example:

   ["key1", "key2", "key3"]

The last command argument specifies a file containing a map of VNFR names and configuration parameters. Here is an example:

  {
    "configurations":{ 
      "vnfrName1":{"name":"conf1","configurationParameters":[{"confKey":"key1", "value":"value1", "description":"description1"}]}, 
      "vnfrName2":{"name":"conf2","configurationParameters":[{"confKey":"key1", "value":"value1", "description":"description1"}]} 
    }
  }

Of course you do not have to specify VIMs, keys and configurations. If you do not want to specify them just put empty objects into the files i.e. {} and [].

What is Open Baton?

Open Baton is an open source project providing a comprehensive implementation of the ETSI Management and Orchestration (MANO) specification and the TOSCA Standard.

Open Baton provides multiple mechanisms for interoperating with different VNFM vendor solutions. It has a modular architecture which can be easily extended for supporting additional use cases.

It integrates with OpenStack as standard de-facto VIM implementation, and provides a driver mechanism for supporting additional VIM types. It supports Network Service management either using the provided Generic VNFM and Juju VNFM, or integrating additional specific VNFMs. It provides several mechanisms (REST or PUB/SUB) for interoperating with external VNFMs.

It can be combined with additional components (Monitoring, Fault Management, Autoscaling, and Network Slicing Engine) for building a unique MANO comprehensive solution.
