Open Baton Plugin SDK

This project plugin-sdk contains modules that are needed to implement a plugin for the Open Baton framework.

Please refer to our documentation for more information about this project. Below there are just few details about the way you can use it.

How to use the Plugin SDK

An Open Baton Plugin is a separate application that accepts requests from the NFVO to allocate and update resources on VIM. Plugin SDK provides an interface to develop the plugins to work with Openbaton NFVO or VNFM of your choice. SDK allows the communication through rabbitmq broker via AMQP messaging.

In order to create a VIM plugin for OpenBaton system you need to add to your gradle build file:

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.2.6.RELEASE")
    }
}

apply plugin: 'spring-boot'

project.ext{
	mainClass = 'path.to.the.StarterClass'
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'maven'
repositories {
    mavenLocal()
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
	url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/'
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile 'org.openbaton:plugin-sdk:4.0.0'
}

Than create a class that implement ClientInterfaces and the inherited methods. Create another starter class and set the path to it in a variable mainClass.

the starter class can be like the following:

import org.openbaton.plugin.PluginStarter;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

public class StarterClass {

    private static Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(PluginStarter.class);

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        log.info("params are: pluginName registryIp registryPort\ndefault is openstack-plugin localhost 1099");

        PluginStartup.startPluginRecursive("./path-to-folder", true, "broker-ip", "5672", 15, "admin", "openbaton", "15672");
}

Then, compile & run it

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.
