Cloud and Edge Computing

The present document specifies requirements for the purpose of Software Modifications, such that NFV service availability and continuity is maintained. All types of software related to Network Function Virtualisation (NFV) - e.g. Virtual Network Functions (VNF), Management and Orchestration (MANO) and Network Function Virtualisation Infrastructure (NFVI) as well as required controlling and supporting functionality will be addressed. Where applicable, external specifications may be referenced to avoid duplication of work. The present document contains normative provisions.

Inter-Cloud interface specification on protocols (the Global Inter-Cloud Technology Forum is discontinued)

Inter-Cloud interface specification on resources data model for network control (the Global Inter-Cloud Technology Forum is discontinued).

Network and technical requirements in support of Inter-Cloud (the Global Inter-Cloud Technology Forum is discontinued).

Use case and functional requirements for Inter-Cloud Computing (The Global Inter-Cloud Technology Forum is discontinued).

ISO/IEC 17789:2014 specifies the cloud computing reference architecture (CCRA). The reference architecture includes the cloud computing roles, cloud computing activities, and the cloud computing functional components and their relationships.

ISO/IEC 18384-1:2016 establishes vocabulary, guidelines, and general technical principles underlying service oriented architecture (SOA), including principles relating to functional design, performance, development, deployment, and management.

ISO/IEC 18384-2:2016 describes a Reference Architecture for SOA Solutions which applies to functional design, performance, development, deployment and management of SOA Solutions. It includes a domain-independent framework, addressing functional requirements and non-functional requirements, as well as capabilities and best practices to support those requirements.

ISO/IEC 18384-3:2016 defines a formal ontology for service-oriented architecture (SOA), an architectural style that supports service orientation. The terms defined in this ontology are key terms from the vocabulary in ISO/IEC 18384-1.

ISO/IEC 18384-2 describes a Reference Architecture for SOA Solutions which applies to functional design, performance, development, deployment and management of SOA Solutions. It includes a domain-independent framework, addressing functional requirements and non-functional requirements, as well as capabilities and best practices to support those requirements.

ISO/IEC 18384-3 defines a formal ontology for service-oriented architecture (SOA), an architectural style that supports service orientation. The terms defined in this ontology are key terms from the vocabulary in ISO/IEC 18384-1.

The present document specifies the interfaces used for acceleration resource management on the Nf-Vi reference point of the NFV MANO framework, as well as the information elements exchanged over those interfaces.
