Most platform components has been migrated to helm charts. Following is complete list of DCAE components available part of default ONAP/dcae installation.
  • Platform components

    • Cloudify Manager (helm chart)

    • Bootstrap container (helm chart)

    • Configuration Binding Service (helm chart)

    • Deployment Handler (helm chart)

    • Policy Handler (helm chart

    • Service Change Handler (helm chart)

    • Inventory API (helm chart)

    • Dashboard (Cloudify Blueprint)

  • Service components

    • VES Collector

    • SNMP Collector

    • Threshold Crossing Analytics

    • HV-VES Collector

    • PNF-Registration Handler

    • Holmes Rule Management *

    • Holmes Engine Management *

  • Additional resources that DCAE utilizes:

    • Postgres Database

    • Redis Cluster Database

    • Consul Cluster *

Notes:

* These components are delivered by the Holmes project.

Under OOM (Kubernetes) deployment all DCAE component containers are deployed as Kubernetes Pods/Deployments/Services into Kubernetes cluster. DCAE R3 includes enhancement to Cloudify Manager plugin (k8splugin) that is capable of expanding a Blueprint node specification written for Docker container to a full Kubernetes specification, with additional enhancements such as replica scaling, sidecar for logging to ONAP ELK stack, registering services to MSB, etc.

  • All DCAE components are designed to support platform maturity requirements.
