Intent Engine supported NFVIaaS Deployed in Bristol

This repository includes the Intent Engine developed through in the 5G-CLARITY Project and extended to support NFVIaaS deployment into the UC1 Narrative 1 and Narrative 2 to be run on Bristol.

Requirements

Computational Requirements for this deployment two Virtual Machines with 8 Gb RAN (Ideally) 40 Gb Hard Disk running the Ubuntu 18 or 20 Linux.

• VM1 - Intent Engine
• VM2 - NFVO MANO

Steps for Deplopyment VM1

1. Clone the Intent Engine.

       git clone https://github.com/Charlemagne2017/Intent-NFVIaaS.git

2. Create a new directory called in /intentengine/matching/app/data/.
3. Download the required data file from the FastText resources page (simple English binary). This is required as the data file exceeds the file size limit on GitHub.
4. Extract the contents of the file to ..../intentengine/matching/app/data/.
5. To build and run the Intent Engine change directory to ... /intentengine and use docker-compose

       docker-compose up --build

Steps for deployment of VM2 - NFVO OSM-MANO

1. Ensure that the VM is in the same network or has connectivity to the VM1.
2. Install the OSM MANO following the following instructions https://osm.etsi.org/docs/user-guide/latest/03-installing-osm.html
3. Configure the usernames and account and the access of the VIM to be able to deploy VNF. https://osm.etsi.org/docs/user-guide/latest/04-vim-setup.html
4. Test the installation of OSM-MANO following the documentation.

Steps for Training and Testing IntentEngine to be able to deploy NFV into OSM MANO

The Intent engine can now recieve intents at this URL: (IP or localhost):5001/intent-input.

1. Ensure the VM is accesible by REST.
2. If you already have Postman account jump to the step 4
3. Download postman app and create your account, https://www.postman.com/
4. Open your postman app and create a POST request to train the Intent Engine in order. The POST request called "Initialisation_Event" mas sent at the URL (IP or localhost):23324/apex/RestServerConsumer/EventIn.
5. Sent the POST request.
6. After train the Intent Engine, we can test the training by an Intent for NS instatiation, create a POST request to submit the Intent http://10.68.110.53:5001/intent-input

{
  "intent": {
    "request": "Create new VNF package resource",
    "parameters" : {}
  }
}

8. Verify that the Intent Engine delivered the request to OSM and the VNF Packet is Created (empty).
