scope:

The present document provides a mapping of the NFV object model for OS container management and orchestration to managed objects of Kubernetes^® and Helm^TM as specified by the CNCF^® along with a specification of a mapping between a common set of input parameters (e.g. derived from VNFD/NSD and/or NFV-MANO RESTful APIs) and output parameters associated to the management and orchestration of the referred managed objects. It profiles the reference Kubernetes^® API as NFV protocol and data model solution for OS container management and orchestration, for CIS MCCO management and for CIS Instance management. It profiles the reference Helm^TM documentation as NFV protocol and data model solution for management of OS container workload based on an MCIOP. It profiles the reference OCI^TM Distribution Specification API (which is based on the Docker^TM registry API) as NFV protocol and data model solution for OS container image management. The latest published versions of the reference Kubernetes^® API, Helm^TM documentation and OCI^TM Distribution Specification API are profiled against the requirements on the functions and the management service interfaces of the Container Infrastructure Service Management (CISM) and Container Image Registry (CIR) functions as specified in ETSI GS NFV-IFA 040 [2], ETSI GS NFV-IFA 036 [9] and ETSI GS NFV-IFA 010 [1].
