[Starlingx-discuss] API requests: stx-nfv
stx-nfv team, As a result of time spent within stx-nfv and with the objective to align our REST API Documentation [0] with our REST APIs, we are kindly requesting your comments for questions "?" under each section [ Section ] [Sub Section] Please assume: - The require X-Auth-Token is in place to authenticate: $ curl -i -X POST http://10.10.10.2:5000/v2.0/tokens $ export TOKEN=... - StarlingX is configured as Standard Controller: 2 Controllers, 2 Computes. [ Project Information ] When we look at the name and description reported out by curl -i http://10.10.10.2:4545/ we have the same name and description between documentation [1] and information via API Query: Name: nfv-vim Description: NFV - Virtual Infrastructure Manager ? Anything to add / change to the name and / or description? [ /api ] Here we are showing 3 different views of what we are seeing within stx-nfv project: - Our initial "Migration WADL to RST", see history here [2] - What we have documented in our "Current Official API Documentation" pages [0] - What the "API Query Output" is actually showing with curl -i http://10.10.10.2:4545/api/... [ /api ] [ Migration WADL to RST ] FYI Only. Migration from WADL to RST format requested us to move "NFV VIM API v1" (NFV VIM Service REST API) into stx-nfv repository, see [2] for the history. [ /api ] [ Current Official API Documentation ] Current Official API documentation [1] includes the following REST API methods under "API Versions" details: - / - /api - /api/orchestration - /api/orchestration/sw-patch - /api/orchestration/sw-upgrade And the only documented API REST methods documented are: - [3] Patch Strategy - [4] Upgrade Strategy ? Is "orchestration" not expected to be documented even if we have the GET method available? [ /api ] [ API Query Output ] API queries output shows these API REST methods: - api/orchestration - api/openstack - api/openstack/heat - api/virtualised-resources - api/virtualised-resources/computes - api/virtualised-resources/networks - api/virtualised-resources/images - api/virtualised-resources/volumes ? Our "Current Official API Documentation" does not have "openstack" and "virtualised-resources", should they be added? [ Project Repository ] [ Directory nfv-doc ] We took a look at the project repository and we found the "nfv-doc" directory [5] with the following categories: - Software Image Management - Virtualised Network Resource - Virtualised Storage Resource - Virtualised Compute Resource ? Since we have our "Current Official API Documentation", should we put a patch to remove this directory? Any reason to keep it? [ Project Repository ] [ Directory nfv-tests ] Looking this nfv-tests [6] it includes 3 categories: - nfv_api_tests - nfv_scenario_tests - nfv_unit_tests ? Is there any restructure required in this nfv-tests directory? ? Is there any need to think about a general test strategy which includes all StarlingX projects moved its execution into another place? e.g. Zuul ? Is this directory still valid? If not should we put a patch to remove it? Thanks for your initial support.

Abraham, Good analysis - see my replies in your email below… Bart -----Original Message----- From: Arce Moreno, Abraham [mailto:abraham.arce.moreno@intel.com] Sent: December 4, 2018 4:25 PM To: starlingx-discuss@lists.starlingx.io Subject: [Starlingx-discuss] API requests: stx-nfv stx-nfv team, As a result of time spent within stx-nfv and with the objective to align our REST API Documentation [0] with our REST APIs, we are kindly requesting your comments for questions "?" under each section [ Section ] [Sub Section] Please assume: - The require X-Auth-Token is in place to authenticate: $ curl -i -X POST http://10.10.10.2:5000/v2.0/tokens $ export TOKEN=... - StarlingX is configured as Standard Controller: 2 Controllers, 2 Computes.

Anything to add / change to the name and / or description? [Bart] The current response seems OK to me. [ /api ] Here we are showing 3 different views of what we are seeing within stx-nfv project: - Our initial "Migration WADL to RST", see history here [2] - What we have documented in our "Current Official API Documentation" pages [0] - What the "API Query Output" is actually showing with curl -i http://10.10.10.2:4545/api/... [ /api ] [ Migration WADL to RST ] FYI Only. Migration from WADL to RST format requested us to move "NFV VIM API v1" (NFV VIM Service REST API) into stx-nfv repository, see [2] for the history. [ /api ] [ Current Official API Documentation ] Current Official API documentation [1] includes the following REST API methods under "API Versions" details: - / - /api - /api/orchestration - /api/orchestration/sw-patch - /api/orchestration/sw-upgrade And the only documented API REST methods documented are: - [3] Patch Strategy - [4] Upgrade Strategy ? Is "orchestration" not expected to be documented even if we have the GET method available? [Bart] The orchestration level is just a grouping for sw-patch and sw-upgrade. The GET method just returns the links to those and that is documented in [1] - what else would you want to add? [ /api ] [ API Query Output ] API queries output shows these API REST methods: - api/orchestration - api/openstack - api/openstack/heat - api/virtualised-resources - api/virtualised-resources/computes - api/virtualised-resources/networks - api/virtualised-resources/images - api/virtualised-resources/volumes ? Our "Current Official API Documentation" does not have "openstack" and "virtualised-resources", should they be added? [Bart] Good question. We have never officially supported the openstack or virtualised-resources APIs and we know that some of them don’t work. I would be open to removing these from our API if that would be less confusing. [ Project Repository ] [ Directory nfv-doc ] We took a look at the project repository and we found the "nfv-doc" directory [5] with the following categories: - Software Image Management - Virtualised Network Resource - Virtualised Storage Resource - Virtualised Compute Resource ? Since we have our "Current Official API Documentation", should we put a patch to remove this directory? Any reason to keep it? [Bart] I think we should remove the directory. [ Project Repository ] [ Directory nfv-tests ] Looking this nfv-tests [6] it includes 3 categories: - nfv_api_tests - nfv_scenario_tests - nfv_unit_tests ? Is there any restructure required in this nfv-tests directory? [Bart] No ? Is there any need to think about a general test strategy which includes all StarlingX projects moved its execution into another place? e.g. Zuul [Bart] Once the basic devstack setup is working for stx-nfv, we can look at adding new testcases to be executed in that environment. This won’t replace the existing testcases, but supplement them. ? Is this directory still valid? If not should we put a patch to remove it? [Bart] The directory is still valid.
