Prerequisites

Objectives

This guide aims to show you how to:

• Create a working Resource with Openstack infrastructure
• Include an external IP address as part of the infrastructure so the Resource service can be accessed publicly
• Add lifecycle scripts to configure a software function for the Resource
• Create an instance of the Resource

Prerequisites

To follow this guide you will need:

• LMCTL v2.5.0+
• A ready-to-use Telco Network Cloud Orchestration (TNC-O) environment
• An Openstack environment (for testing we recommend installing DevStack. Playbooks to setup a DevStack VM can be found on GitHub)

Openstack

Your Openstack environment will need:

• Compute instance image with SSH password access support: xenial-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1 (this should be included with a standard DevStack install or manually loaded from here)
• A public network (should be included with a standard DevStack install)
• A key-pair named default of type SSH Key to be used by compute instances (create one through the Openstack dashboard)

Telco Network Cloud Orchestration (TNC-O)

Your TNC-O environment must have the following:

• Openstack VIM Driver installed and onboarded
• Ansible Lifecycle Driver installed and onboarded
• A valid Deployment Location onboarded to TNC-O with the necessary properties required by the Openstack VIM Driver and Ansible Lifecycle Driver

Get Started

Once you have fulfilled the prerequisites you may start creating the Resource
