Vim And Wim Wrappers

Thomas Soenen edited this page Aug 27, 2019 · 1 revision

The MANO Framework uses VIM and WIM wrappers to connect to actual VIMs and WIMs in order to control compute and networking resources. Per VIM or WIM type that needs to be orchestrated, such a wrapper needs to be made and attached to the MANO Framework.

An example of a wrapper for the Emulator can be found here.

As part of the 5GTANGO Service Platform, four wrappers are supported:

  • A Heat wrapper to orchestrate OpenStack
  • A Kubernetes wrapper
  • A tapi wrapper
  • A mock wrapper

As of now, these wrappers are not compatible with the standalone MANO Framework. Out of the box, there is currently only the emulator wrapper available for the standalone MANO Framework. To create a new wrapper for the standalone MANO Framework, you can build a component that consumes this API and translates it in appropriate calls to the VIM you wish to add.
