This information is configured using the ONAP CDS database (which is using the Cloudify Consul database). - * All Policy types for all Near-RT RICs - * All configured Policy instances in the network - -It provides an NBI for the R-Apps (and for the Control Panel) for policy management. This is a REST API. -As an option, policy management can also be done via asynchronous messages through ONAP/Dmaap. -The NBI provides support for an R-APP to locate the correct Near-RT RIC based on identifiers as defined in O1. - -The agent monitors all Near-RT RICs and recovers from data inconsistencies, which may happen when (for instance) an Near-RT RIC restarts. - -The R-Apps can be monitored so that their Policies can be automatically removed when an R-App is stopped/removed. - -On its southbound side the agent can connect to a number of different A1 providers: - - * Directly to the Non-RT RIC: - - - OSC API, which is influenced by the A1 standard - - The Non-RT RIC simulator, which supports the A1 standard with a number of not yet CRs included. - * To an ONAP style controller. - -Amber release Policy Agent architecture ------------------------------------------ - -.. image:: ./images/NonRtRicComponents.png - :scale: 50 % - -Non-RT RIC components: - - #.
